Covers you like better than the original.

I don't remember if we've done this before, but if we have, bite me.

Are the Easystar Allstars unaware that Radiohead made albums other than OK Computer?

I actually think that there are a great number of people who are unaware that Radiohead made other albums other than OK Computer.

I'm sure they do. Perhaps Cooch likes these particular covers. Asshole.

When I first read that I thought you meant meaning either Andy Reid, or possibly the Craig T. Nelson character. I thought, that's a weird reference.

They actually didn't whole cover cd of OK Computer redone in reggae. They also redid Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt Peppers, and Thriller. But to me the best whole cd redone in reggae was Radio Riddler's Purple Reggae (Purple Rain).

This is my favorite version of this song even though GNR one is pretty damn good.

Blonde's Heart of Glass was good

[Kaepernick]

I prefer Terrible Ted's "Baby Please Don't Go" to the Van Morrison original.

I prefer George Thoroughgood's "Who Do You Love" to the Doors original.

I prefer Rod Stewart's "Twisting the Night Away" to the Sam Cooke original.

I prefer Santana's "Black Magic Woman" to the Fleetwood Mac original.

It went from love to regret and it's a terrific re-interpretation of the original by the same artist.

Also, artists will change how they do songs a lot based on how someone has covered their original. Go listen to the "Crazy In Love" cover that I posted by Antony and the Johnsons and then go listen to how Beyonce re-did her original for the movie "50 Shades of Grey." She basically covered the cover.

OK. Will do.

But it freaking awesome and the boys loved it. Obama was groovin and there was a women with palms towards Jesus.

Jimmy mouthing the notes during the solo is so great. I can't imagine how nervous I would have been if I were that guitarist.

And Anne's voice! Damn.

I loved the Asian dude with eyes closed just feeling the power.

For respecting the work as much as you obviously do, you seem to have no respect for the artist.

""stop breaking down blues" and the Clash's cover of " police and thieves". both epic.
