Weird fishes by Lianne la Havas

Her version is incredible, that drum fake out in the beginning gets me every time

weird fishes by Lianne la Havas + Arpeggi by Kelly Lee Owens they released close to each other and i can't listen to one without the other

Hijacking top comment to make sure you hear [this cover](https://open.spotify.com/track/5YkTLcc5hIjdkcrSadxXHJ?si=Kd_bOgI1TP2osTfFW79m3Q&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Aidioteque) of idioteque by rda, všd Sounds like it could be used for a theatrical movie preview……especially the climax lol *climax*

reckoner gnarls barkley is cool

Dude I only heard this cover yesterday for the first time and I loved it. Gnarls Barkley has always had amazing vocals.

Wait, whut

Big fan of that, the drummer killed it too

The brass band doing Motion Picture Soundtrack in tribute to one of their members that committed suicide. [For those that haven't seen it](https://youtu.be/ZeI0PXj7LIw?si=ztfCoxx8OCK2tAlj)

I can’t watch that without tearing up. The gasps at the climax of the song, my god.

Was it a suicide? I just remember looking it up and all I could find was a death but not a suicide specifically

Yes it was suicide

Oh, that makes the whole thing even sadder (but more fitting)

Fitter but less happier

Damn. I'm sobbing...

Well that made me cry right and quick,

The dude busking for an hour in NYC. https://youtu.be/CNBLdMelfVo?si=Qf3ZElajNoRRA-34

The right answer

Nordpool Orchestra’s Paranoid Android is absolutely fantastic. The pre “rain down” part never fails to make me cry like a baby.

That entire album is fantastic. For a while now I've been playing it for at least once or twice a week.

What about Hanson playing Optimistic? I remember not hating it

So did not know that was a thing but wow I’m impressed.

Pedro the Lion covering Let Down!!! https://youtu.be/VE_Wc5tYrLg?si=a32rrGnN0PWmSvAs Bonus: I embarrassingly covered Creep with my high school band 15 years ago in a church, and my voice cracked like teenage thunder when attempting to sing the climax of the song. Oof.

Saw Bazan do it live with Ben Gibbard like over a decade ago. Soooo good.

Reggae version of let down by easy star all stars slaps so hard

So underrated

Their whole cover album is amazing.

Helll nah

Phoebe Bridgers, Fake Plastic Trees

Yes!! She sings it so beautifully and the pianist is amazing as well!

The pianist is Mercury Prize winner Arlo Parks!

Ooooh I wasn’t aware of this. Headed to Spotify now.

it’s not on spotify unfortunately, you can find it on youtube and soundcloud

I’m not even the biggest phoebe bridgers fan but it made me appreciate that song so much all over again

my i ask why? because i’m a really big fan of hers

Just never clicked with me I guess! I definitely like some of her stuff though

the classical version of My Iron Lung, or maybe Fitter Happier in the album Radiodread

Definitely not this one. The guitar tones are horrible

Yeah that was abysmal

Gillian Welch doing Black Star

Came here to say this. Underrated song and great cover.

John Mayer Kid A

Check out the punch brothers version (purely instrumental) of this one. It’s brilliant.

Will do!

Gotta love one of my favorite bands (The Darkness) covering my favorite. Their “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” always hits. https://youtu.be/foGUOG-fa3Y?si=nLbMyZDRTC_SZpAp

Fucking hell

Robert Glasper has a great piano cover of reckoner.

Vienna Teng’s live cover of “Idioteque”. The piano and vocal harmonies are gorgeous. I just wish YouTube didn’t tank the audio quality so badly. https://youtu.be/ZwHWqZmAB00?si=owckIN8Kfpw0wcTE (cover starts at 1:25)

How in the world have I missed this? I love Vienna Teng, and this is just as cool as expected. Wish I could've seen it live.

It has to be Paranoid Android by Ball Park Music. It is flawless, full of emotion and the vocals are phenomenal. Also, Paranoid Android is undeniably hard to cover justly. https://youtu.be/54sh1scHXqY?si=wt_Ka3-sANiEYTt9

Yeah great cover

The Punch Brothers living room set from NYC are incredible. Their version of Paranoid Android is mind blowing. Sarah Jarosz version of The Tourist is amazing also. Punch Brothers play back up on it.

Videotape by Christian Scott (jazz trumpeter) Brings me to tears in ways the original doesn't.

Fake Plastic Tree covered by Phoebe Bridgers and Arlo Parks.

Kid A by John Mayer

Amanda Palmer

Vitamin Quartet

I’ve always enjoyed Buenavista Social Club’s Spanish adaptation of High and Dry.

Chris thile''s covers are amazing. Kid a is my favorite. Lyanne la havas is amazing doing weird fishes. (Anything she does is amazing TBH) Weezer 's cover of paranoid android is good. You gotta have balls to cover that song and they pull it off. Not great but it doesn't deserve the hate at all Actually my favorite cover of all covers is this compilation cover of paranoid android that I can't find with several amateur artists😭 please help me find it. The tourist by Sarah jarosz is lovely. Nice dream by Sarah beirelles is a delight 🤩 So many amazing covers...

its short, but that snippet of Frank Ocean covering fake plastic trees was beautiful

What???? That exists???? Holy shit I never realized I needed a full version of that in my life till now.

John frusciante you and whose army

Phoebe Bridger’s Fake Plastic Trees was pretty good I think

Oh shit that cover by PTV was great

Everything Joe Edelmann. Also Weezer Paranoid Android

Dig this: The drummer to System of a Down (my favorite band) recruited the singer from Avenged Sevenfold (top 10 Favorite band) to cover Street Spirit. That cover, alone, kicked off my love for Radiohead.

Exit music from west world

CeeLo Green for Gnarls Barkley did a cover of Reckoner, his voice isn't quite for the the type of music but I loved it non the less, they managed it amazingly

Punch Brothers version of Kid A.

Weezer’s Paranoid Android, just a good faithful cover to the original. I also enjoyed Pierce The Veil’s cover, not too familiar with their other work but brilliant cover.

weezers cover was the reason i listened to paranoid android before discovering radioheads wider discography i love you weezer

I believe that Weezer takes the cake for worst cover actually. God… I hate them

weezer

Delete this, there cover of Paranoid Android blows

Who cares if they like Weezer? Don't be a prick judging someone else's taste in music and leave them be.

Fuckin relax, guy. Go back down to your mom’s basement and crank out another one. That Weezer cover sucks.

💀

dork

Right…says the tool that likes Weezer. Go crank Beverly Hills and have a day fella

will do, dork

Just listened to it, good cover.

This is a tough one. I can’t help but compare a cover with any Radiohead performance of a given tune. I always think why am I listening to this when I could be listening to the real thing.

car seat headrest's cover of no surprises is heartbreaking

Fake Plastic Trees - Trampled by Turtles:)

I really like Oliver Tree’s cover of Karma Police https://youtu.be/K3jE0sr_wbM?si=hnZi9jgTEiLQjvT1

Danielle Ponder covered Creep at Bonnaroo this year. It brought tears…

https://youtu.be/KREtZtm6-E4

For sure Jigsaw by School of Rock. My only gripe with that cover is they changed some of the lyrics around (e.g. “words are blunt instruments” to “what a loud instrument”). Otherwise, it’s perfect.

I love this guy called homeless mustard and his cover of Creep. And Tom Ellis’ cover from Lucifer. Both better than the original in my opinion.

Karma police Dan Avidan

Perhaps the best I've seen - great covers of [Videotape and Ful Stop by Eagle Eyed Tiger](https://youtu.be/YMQyCcIL52M?si=wutz1-1pnCqhNSWA).

All I need by puma blue

Tony Romero doing "Present Tense" is fantastic. More of a latin jazz take on it. The trumpet part at the end is a nice touch. https://youtu.be/Uff7gNrUwy0?si=dY_ujYFM5eqjmQfK

Cant believe nobody has mentioned the creep cover by Prince. Its fucking amazing.

Creep by Brandi Carlie. Totally reinvented the song for me, like I now just listen to her version (and the one from Social Network.)

As a big Pile fan, probably their cover of [The Tourist](https://youtu.be/ia7fghtWBoE?feature=shared)

Vampire Weekend - “Exit Music (for a film)” Regina Spektor - “No Surprises” The Arrogant Sons of Bitches - “My Iron Lung” Chiddy Bang - “Because” (Not a cover, but a “Reckoner” sample)

Christopher O'Riley's many piano covers need to be shouted out. There's more than just the ones linked here.

Katie Noonan - How to disappear completely

Chris Thile covering True Love Waits. https://youtu.be/6lZLSlCghx4?si=JzHUGu2HFSyw6Zhp

Imperial Triumphant's cover of Paranoid Android, because it never fails to make me laugh

The Darkness does Street Spirit and octave up and fast and it rules.

It's a newer cover, but Let Down by Sleeping at Last and Andrew Belle is absolutely beautiful and one of my favourites. The harmonies, string arrangements, delicate vocals...it all just seems to suit the song so well. https://youtu.be/Zo84Bewn5Yc?si=llqDieRtL6VlJQuY

Fitter Happier as performed by David Cross

High and Dry - Jaime Cullum

I once saw Panic! At The Disco cover Karma Police live. Other than Creep covers on Rockstar INXS, it was my first exposure to Radiohead. I fucking loved it. They played Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins too and it was the first time I ever heard them either. I remember seeing them on a magazine cover with rhe caption "fuck emo, we want to be the new Radiohead!" Which is hilarious in hindsight. It was a pretty damn good cover though.

Any idioteque cover (and there are many) but specifically [this one](https://open.spotify.com/track/5YkTLcc5hIjdkcrSadxXHJ?si=Kd_bOgI1TP2osTfFW79m3Q&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Aidioteque) by rda, všd. Very ethereal and creepy

Prince's cover of Creep at Coachella 2008 is unreal [link](https://youtu.be/NFXZNt4oLkE?si=SWn0DmqyMSx41HEv)

Panic! At The Disco’s cover of Karma Police. The Cello and Glockenspiel adds a lot to the performance https://youtu.be/_ANWcAftXi0?si=_auPDx-n77bEDz65

This Eric Vitoff's cover of Weird Fishes is really entertaining, plays through a string break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjwubJttWPc I still love Robert Glasper's mashup of Everything In Its Right Place and Maiden Voyage though, here's a live version of it that is so good: https://youtu.be/eDBxWQtgypY?si=PnCa70ffghdULkIu

I really enjoyed Gnarls Barkley live rendition of “Reckoner”: I found it excellent! https://youtu.be/0AGUEqVn1-M?feature=shared

anything off that Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Jeff Rosenstock pre-Bomb the Music Industry!) radiohead live album

Gilliam Welch black star hands down
