Cover Wars: Radiohead Edition

Checking on last week's edition, we had two popular choices for covers of Bell Bottom Blues. Once the votes were counted, Trey Anastasio had a slight edge over Umphrey's McGee - so Trey takes home his first Cover Wars trophy sans Phish.

This week we're taking on one of the most ambitious Cover Wars to date. We've compiled the most entries we've ever had as we take a look at covers of Radiohead's catalog. Musicians in the 21st century seem to be more reluctant to cover other modern artists than bands were say 30-50 years ago. However, a few artists can be influential enough that bands just can't help themselves. We saw a little bit of this in the Nirvana Cover Wars as jambands, jazz acts and pop artists paid tribute to the grunge era. We have a similar cross-section of artists this week as well, the contemporary jazz guys love Radiohead. As always, be sure to register/login to IMEEM so the playlist below loads full-length tracks.

Be sure to READ ON after the jump as some of the best covers this week are embedded via video clips and are not included in the playlist above.
