It’s no surprise (pun intended) that everyone loves Radiohead. Because the Oxfordshire four-piece takes so notoriously long to produce new material under the Radiohead moniker, and with individual band members constantly fussing over side projects (Thom Yorke supergrouping, Jonny Greenwood soundtracking, Phil Selway and the drum kit solo tour), we’re grateful for any covers we can get our hands on — even if it’s just Coco in a faux-Yorke accent jamming along to our Rock Band guilty pleasure, “Creep.” After the jump, our twelve favorite love letters to the band, inspired by Regina Spektor’s March 23rd Irving Plaza performance of “No Surprises.”

CLEARLY Wajeed does the best Knives out cover!!
and also Osunlade’s Everything in it’s Right Place, is coming close of best song of all time. let alone, covers of all time.
com’on son.
but! great list, because yes, that Gnarls Barkley Reckoner track made me a believer, in things i had once never believed in :D
Cool! But so is Caroline’s Bday. Happy Bday Caroline.
Best Radiohead cover I’ve ever heard was when Prince played “Creep” at Coachella 2008. There should be pro videos up on Youtube; they’re some of the few vids Prince can’t take down because it’s not his own song.
Nice, but you left out David Bazan’s brilliant cover of Let Down:

That was a good article. I don’t agree with each and every single thing that you said but still excellent nonetheless. On a side note, I am so excited that the NFL is back. It seems like I been waiting forever. This has to be my favorite time of the year. Sorry, I’m rambling. lol
