Sweet...but better than the original ? Doubt it.Radiohead would too.Listen to the depth of the original writer doing it.

Doesn't get any better than this. Radiohead covering Neil Young. Bloody marvellous.

I'm huge admirer of youngy and yorkey, it's an unpretentious cover version and it really is warming to hear one great songwriter showing his pure love and admiration of another, i think they've probably got quite a bit in common.peace and love and music forever x

Don't know if it's a matter of bad habit, part of his style or what... but this song isn't the first I've noticed it... vocally Thom Y doesn't seem adept at bending notes downward before hitting a given note toward the bottom of his register.

I thought this was a descent cover version. Elsewhere on Utube there's a stereo version of this same recording.

radiohead are the shit, but nothin' can beat the neiler's mind-blowing original...

this is good, there a good band, no bullshit, not trying to suit anyones needs

Obama: Radiohead's a great band, but this is a pretty gutless cover. Neil's version is haunted, practically bleeding atmosphere, and for me this is just too polite and clean sounding to get the feeling.

Not to dismiss Raidohead, in my opinion saviors of Rock and Roll. Rock and Roll was pretty much dead until they came along. But this is just a copy. Great cover songs are great because they've become something new. Radiohead has nothing to be ashamed of, they have original music that is ever bit as timeless and brilliant and important as Neil's  But this is not a great cover.

This is WAY better than the original. I wonder if it is on an album?
