Radiohead + Reggae = Radiodread

Next week Easy Star All-Stars release Radiodread, a reggae rendition of OK Computer. It's actually more listenable than I thought it would be, but lately my expectations for these things are pretty low.

Stream four tracks here.

Bluegrass, crunk, lullaby, reggae ... what Radiohead tribute do you hope they won't think of next?

  • Panic! At The Bends: A Mall-Punk Tribute To Radiohead
  • Hitler Hairdos: A White Power Tribute To Radiohead (Feat. Prussian Blue)
  • Anyone Can Play Guitar: A Paris Hilton Tribute To Radiohead
  • ???

    Cleverest answer gets ... the group's respect!

    This one isn't to bad, their version of airbag kind of sucked, but let down is pretty sweet.

    Kitschy Radiohead covers albums are about as played out as "Crazy" covers.

    I like it. Then again, almost everything sounds good on a reggae beat. :P

    "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead and "Here" by Pavement are the same song.

    "Let Down" is rad. "Karma Police" sounds like either the guitarist or the bassist is off in the beginning.
