Unfinished Sympathy easy. I don't think it should be about what bands deserve to be on the album, it should be about the tracks themselves and how they flow. There's only 12 tracks anyway, so inevitably many great bands are going to get left off, just the way it goes.

I'm voting for Unfinished Sympathy aswell. We've got enough slow tracks that are based on an acoustic guitar already.
Anyway nominations...:
Pavement - Gold Soundz
The Strokes - Last Nite

'Unfinished Sympathy' please! Radiohead have much better stuff than 'Karma Police'. It's stuff like that that gave birth to Coldplay.  |

It's stuff like that that gave birth to Coldplay. ...and yet it was nominated and it tied for first place in the regular voting, in what was arguably the strongest and most competitive round yet. that's what i don't understand. kind of like eleanor rigby. |

That thread reminds me a bit of the "elimination" ones for Oasis. Majority of the songs are important for us fans but still, most of the posts were like "eliminate Wonderwall. That's overrated", "pfff Morning Glory should have been eliminated before Hey Now!. This song is a bit dull", etc. We're making the Most Perfect Album of All The Time, with about 30 choices for each track, to sum up more than 50 years of pop music with some of the best songs ever written but we're the majority to be like "how could that song wins ??! It isn't even in the top 10 of that band"  And to think how many masterpieces we forfet to nominate each round (I forgot to nominate "Hung Upon A Dream" for track 6. Scandalous.) ! |

Assuming Unfinished Sympathy wins, Radiohead still have many good options for track seven:
Just
REC_KON/ER
Give up the Ghost
Identikit

I've not made a decision for track seven, but the top three tracks to vote for for myself at this moment include Orange Crush, Viva La Vida and Reckoner.

although i know it's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point (or like shoveling sand against the tide on a windy day, take your pick), i stuck to my guns and voted for radiohead in the tiebreaker. just can't bring myself to vote for the other track.

Wouldn't be too hasty @id1edreamer, I was shocked that Wish You Were Here absolutely tanked The Drug's Don't Work in the previous round - honestly thought it would be the other way around. |

The thing that surprises me the most is that we all forgot to nominate Bowie classics, except for Heroes. No "Starman", "Changes", "Life On Mars?", "Ashes To Ashes".
Cos' let's face it: we need a David Bowie track somewhere in this thing (same thing for the Rolling Stones).
For that tie-break, I've voted for Karma Police. It's a classic. Not my favourite Radiohead, but one of their last big chance to be on this album. Reckoner is a good song and I do like it but no way it'll win his round.

Karma Police isn't even the best track on OK Computer.
