R&P: R.E.M. "Lotus" or Radiohead "Lotus Flower"?

Today being Radiohead day in R&P, I thought I would share a thought I had..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu2jN3d2zzU

R.E.M. - Lotus

*or*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdFy8oLmnEo

Radiohead - Lotus Flower

I realized both videos feature interpretive dance, always a pleasure..

Which "Lotus" do you prefer?

Care to rescue Punch's question?

Thanks!

Update:

Beatles, WOW hard to say but, Codex and Seperator are really grabing my attention right now, but there is not a mis-step on the whole set of songs!

    Hey! I'm so excited they released the album early! What's your favorite song off of it?

    After I watched Lotus Flower, it made Thom Yorke even more of my favorite. I love his style of funkiness/interpretive dance/seizure dancing. So I like the Radiohead one better. Not just because of the video but also because obviously, it's an amazing song.

    edit: I think my favorites atm are Lotus Flower and Morning Mr Magpie. Soooo good

    Gotta side with capn - REM. Sorry, Punch, I know you like Radiohead but again I get that 'just freaking sing something already' slow-build going on with the Radiohead song. I do like the Alex DeLarge comment and Clockwork Orange shoutout in the Radiohead video. On the other hand, the glittering pop-art look to the REM vid is much more instantly compelling, I think.

    Have some more interpretive dance:

    [David Byrne, Houses in Motion]

    And because I found this one as well:

    [David Byrne, Take Me to the River]

    I was fortunate enough to be at the concert where the second one was shot.

    Yes I have been busy for most of the day but had to sneak off and listen the new Radiohead release.

    "Lotus Flower" definitely.
