    The American Radiohead?

    Really? Maybe I have different defintiion of "well known" but I know they have covered:

     

    - Neil Young

    - The Smiths

    - Carly Simon

    - Portishead

    - Glenn Campbell

    - Pink Floyd

    - Can

     

    oh really? I am not a huge radiohead live mp3 hoarder so I must have missed these. I actually don't listen to any of those bands so I could mistakenly have thought a "rarity" was just an obscure bside and not a cover. And was it recently? I imagine they did their share of covers when they first started out.

     

    I am however, a big pink floyd fan and haven't heard anything. What PF song did they cover? Id' love to get my hands on that.

    In all seriousness, I heard they covered Portishead's "The Rip," but have they played any other cover tunes? Prince obviously famously covered "Creep" at Coachella and Gnarls Barkley covered "Reckoner" (I think), but I haven't heard much about Radiohead busting out any new covers.

     

     

    I think Radiohead mostly cover obscure bands that have influenced them and that's very rare. I've never heard of them covering anyone even remotely well know.

    OK, add me to the list that:

     

    a) loves both bands. Radiohead #1, Wilco #2

    B) just saw them both live in the past 3 days.

     

    I agree that the only reason why Wilco gets compared at all to RH is the sonic experimentation of YHF. That's about it. They are drastically different bands whose sole similarity is that they are both excellent.

     

    That being said, Radiohead is just phenomenal. Wilco at the Grand Hotel was great and fun but Radiohead at Camden was fucking stellar... and that wasn't even anywhere close to being Radiohead's best live performance. An amazing RH concert is beyond words. Radiohead is the most important band in the world right now and will go down as one of the most important bands in history when all is said and done.

     

    To compare OK Computer to Summerteeth is laughable. OK Computer is arguably the greatest album OF ALL TIME. If you've never heard it, take the time to listen to it start to finish about 4 times straight. Keep it in the background while you're doing something if you must but really pay attention at least 1 time. It is a goddamn masterpiece. If you don't think Exit Music is beautiful, there's something wrong with your ears.

    I sent an angry e-mail to a scalper selling tickets for $150 apiece on Ebay. His response: "It's capitalism, baby!" Yes, but that doesn't make it right. I'm pro-free market, but there ought to be laws preventing things like this from happening.

     

    You know.. paying inflated prices for tickets suck but I drove an hour today to Wilmington and waited in line for 3 hours to get my tickets. While in line, everyone agreed that perhaps ebay isn't such a bad thing. Interestingly enough the people in line were mostly people with jobs. I was expecting a handful of college kids who skipped classes. It was really weird.

     

    I felt bad for the people (about 15) who ended up with no tickets after 3+ hours.
