Ooh, I always forget Where I End You Begin. That's definitely an iconic track, because of the climax. "I will eat you alive, I will eat you alive, there'll be no more lies" ... Oh man. Kickass song!
I also love "Morning Mr. Magpie," but, as with all of TKOL, I tend to think of the album as one steady, pulsing heartbeat. It's really hard to pick out favorite tracks from that one. Not that I don't have my fave TKOL tracks (Separator, Staircase from the basement, and Give up the Ghost all qualify), it's just that none of them stand out enough in comparison to the surrounding material for me to put them on an "all time" list.
The opposite is the case with the tracks I named. I wet through each album too, and picked the songs that still punch me in the balls from each one. "Karma Police" is without a doubt a major highlight of OKC for me, as "kid a" and "National Anthem" are on Kid A and "There There"/"Myxo" are on HTTT.
