25. Radiohead's Com Lag EP
Thought Nick and Austin were too rough on "Hail to the Thief"? Just wait until they make their way through the "Com Lag" EP, which collects the b-sides from the era. How bad does it get? Let's just say that both find songs that they dislike more than "Pop is Dead." Nick sticks up for one track, while Austin talks about how much he loves the blues. Finally, they have the "Hail to the Thief" awards, though a certain single steals the show.
