Awful Predicament

So I'm also having a little bit of a problem. Well, it's a pretty big problem. I've been listening to the Radiohead album The Bends lately, and it's really damn good. As is My Iron Lung. And of course best of all is OK Computer. Or is it best of all? That's the problem. The utter excellence of all of these albums is making it incredibly difficult for me to complete a mental hierarchy. This has many practical implications. For example, let's say I'm going to the library from my flat and want to listen to some music on the way. The commute is about 20-25 minutes door-to-door. My Iron Lung (the EP) is just over 28 minutes, making it pretty attractive for the time I have. OK Computer is closer to 49 minutes, but it is ridiculously good, and therefore worthwhile in whatever doses I can get it. And now The Bends, at 48.5 minutes, is seeming better and better. All I'm trying to do is enjoy my time while getting to the library, but I'm forced to make these impossible decisions because Radiohead is such a god-damn brilliant band.

Another example: I'm trying to make a top-five list of my favorite albums. Well, OK Computer has to go on that list, no question. Or does it? Is my favorite album based on its components, or the over-all product? Overall, OK Computer is the superior album, but The Bends gives it a run for its money when individual songs are taken into account.

Shit, I can't take this anymore.
