Before I vote, I need to know if Radiohead have ever done a cover version. With that man 'singing'.

Any help appreciated.

ohhh, i might clear some air here:

i love all three bands and actually tolerate their voices, but on this three covers, each of the vocalists in question really go off!!!

most people can't stand at least one of the vocalists in question, so i was curious.

I can't decide on any of these mentioned in the poll...I haven't heard any of them.

But here's one cover that's really ingenius for how purposely annoying it is...

Pavement's "Cut Your Hair" redone by the Zip Code Rapists

They did Union City Blue and nobody does it better (no, seriously). Uber-rare, I have them on tape from a super-obsessive girl whose fanzine I wrote for about 12 years ago. I've not seen them pop up on the internet yet, and I've no idea how you would get them, but I can assure you they definitely exist.

Ah! I can stop you there and say that I vote for Radiohead. No need to hear the song.

Seriously, though, I really quite like their music, but that man's vocals make them unlistenable to me.

The choppy cover of Cannibal Corpse's "Hammer Smashed Face" by Especially Likely Sloth is a good one, too, for its ultra-braincell-devastation and the bizarre vocal performance which sounds like a little girl trying to avoid drowning.

Flaming Lips - Unmade Bed

I heard Moby doing New Dawn Fades on some TV bollocks a couple of years ago. His vocals on that were high up in the contenders for this thread.

What, like Placebos cover of 'where is my mind' by the Pixies? That'll probably do it for you.
