The tracks from Get Happy!! were ranked in a previous post, and these are the results:

1. Riot Act
2. King Horse
2. High Fidelity
4. Opportunity
5. Possession
6. New Amsterdam
6. Motel Matches
8. I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down
9. Men Called Uncle
10. Love For Tender
11. I Stand Accused
12. Clowntime Is Over
13. 5ive Gears In Reverse
13. The Imposter
15. Secondary Modern
16. Temptation
17. Black & White World
18. Beaten To The Punch
19. Human Touch
20. B Movie

Honourable mention: Riot Act (7 #1s)

Riot Act's many top placings were pleasant surprises for me, as was Opportunity's popularity. I thought more people would like Love For Tender, Secondary Modern, and especially Temptation, which I thought had a shot at a Top Five placing, judging by how often he plays it if nothing else. Maybe most will agree that Steve's piano arrangement (in a lower key, I think) was an improvement on the latter.

If anyone else wants to have a rank, reply to the original thread and I will modify the results accordingly. Every contribution will almost certainly alter the list.

Is the Radiohead reference lost on this EC crowd?

Why would you think that one of EC's best song's would NOT be at the top of the list?

I think only...

"a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics"

would not love Riot Act. Just hearing it makes me fitter, happier and more productive!

Big up to all the other Radiohead fans on the board (that's most of you then!)

normabuel,

i never said i don´t think Riot Act is a great song; i only said that it isn´t a surprise that it end up being at the top of the list!

it is not my fave., but still a masterpiece anyway!

BaC, I didn't interpret it that way, but I DID think you saying that you were surprised that it was number 1 on the list. I hope my mistake didn't leave you buzzing like a fridge, like a detuned radio.

It is a tough album to rank. All of the songs are terrific.

B Movie being last is the biggest injustice I've ever heard.

'Turn out the lights
I'm thinking that I want to go to sleep now'

if only for those lines, B Movie at the botton is a tremendous injustice!
