12. Radiohead's "Airbag / How Am I Driving?" EP
With OK Computer finished, it's time to dig into the b-sides, starting with the "Airbag / How Am I Driving" EP. This Grammy-nominated collection features a wide range of material. While some are still beloved, the two find that others haven't held up as well as they had hoped. Austin thinks "Polyethylene Part 1" is one of the best 30 seconds of Radiohead's catalog, while Nick thinks that "Part 2" might be the worst song they've done since Pablo Honey. Plus, stick around for a brief U2 tangent.
