Has Anyone Ever Heard of the Band Radiohead?


so i got my good ol' Rolling Stone in the mail today, and besides all of the left winged liberalism (which i love but not in my damn music mag) they delivered an amazing Radiohead interview. Which led me to recapture some of their glory, by what else COVERS!! Ok don't get me wrong, i will be the first to tell you how much i DESPISE john mayer, but he delivered an unbelievably good cover, of the title track from perhaps radiohead's best album (?) "kid a." Wow, he seems the type to do like creep or high and dry, but no, he actually did a somewhat miniscule song from that album, i'm impressed, but he's still no damn guitar god...
Out of all the covers i have, i'm only posting two, because i'm not that impressed with all of the other ones. But this Vampire Weekend cover of "Exit Music" from THE BEST radiohead album "OK Computer," is very well done. And the last...out of all radiohead songs, "Fake Plastic Trees" has probably been covered the most. But in my opinion, none of them match up to the simply beautiful live acoustic version performed by the thom and johnny alone. Your Welcome.

vampire weekend - exit music (for a film) (radiohead cover)
radiohead - fake plastic trees (acoustic)
