as far as the radiohead cover's i've heard are concerned, this is certainly among the best. keeps the tone and mood the same, while doing something completely different. Problem is, Thom Yorke's voice is practically impossible to separate from any given radiohead song. Good job JV, too bad radiohead covers are such a bitch to pull off.

i love this cover, but why do all the people jumping at this dudes throat for covering a Radiohead song seem to have only a vague grasp of english?

... *chews peanuts like a camel* ... ... This is very anti-climactic and weird. Even without the original as a reference, I still wouldn't like it. It fails on that "so what" factor. I've listened to it and feel nothing not even entertained.
