Well there is always the original version of the song for that.  This is the subdued acoustic version with less urgency, power and drama.

This version is soooo good for the ears...

 

Hey, even Radiohead does bad covers of Radiohead

Nice version. My friends wouldn't believe me either.
Thanks Bill.

Somehow this is too subdued, needs more urgency, power, drama...

I have never heard this version of my favorite Radiohead song, nice.

I get this image of Belushi as Bluto yanking the guitar from Yorke and smashing it to bits on the wall.

It's a happy thought.

Man, it's the meandering guitar lines in the original that make it a great song. This is OK, but it just makes me long for the original. And as someone that generally hates Thom's voice, I would have imagined it to be much worse on an acoustic number than it is.

Amen. It's easy to forget that Yorke and Radiohead work out their songs acoustically before they get into the electronica. Some of us prefer the rawer versions.

Hey! Are you saying I'm NOT a hot babe? Sign me up to represent the arrogant Pink Floyd cultists. (Although, I do like Radiohead an awful lot.)

Sorry JohnErle, but you know its true.

"Truth?" You want some truth? Radiohead are just a band, not gods. They have their fans and their detractors, just like anyone else. They've had an admirable run of critical praise combined with commercial success, but so have many, many, many other bands, some of whom have done it a lot longer with far greater reviews and sales. To say that Radiohead tower above the Beatles, for example, is utter folly. The Beatles were bigger than Jesus. Radiohead barely qualifies to lick the soles of Jesus' sandals.

I, for one, would love to see a reality show where smug Radiohead fanatics are forced to live in a house with arrogant Pink Floyd cultists. Watching the two groups debate over which band is the undisputable Best Band Ever until violence erupts would be a hoot.

The only drawback would be the lack of hot babes since I doubt the members of either cult ever get laid.

Fantastic song. Fantastic version.

Bill,
Thanks again for treating us to some truly amazing music. Your ability to find a band's best songs and variations of them is unique.
Thanks so much.

I haven't heard this in awhile,I forgot how much I like the lyrics.

Stop whining!
