Radiodread - No Surprises

Easy Star All-Stars are a reggae collective, who are known for their reggae interpretations of classic albums.

Following their interpretation of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon" - entitled "Dub Side Of The Moon" - the band decided to tackle Radiohead's "OK Computer" album. The result of this project was the album "Radiodread".

Here is their take on the song "No Surprises", featuring reggae vocal trio The Meditations.

This song suits their style more than some of the other Radiohead songs, but the video for it here I think is awesome.

Thank you for the compliment. :)

ofcourse reggae isnt all about being happy, life in jamaica is no cool runnings

[wartravs22]

This whole cover album is fantastic. It's not necessarily 'better' or 'worse' than the original, just a different take on some timeless songs.

@megapixel89 Tom Yorke said in an interview that the song's about a man being happy with his life despite his terrible job. Of course, Radiohead's lyrics are so weird...

Stop ruining the song.

Very nice cover. Sounds a bit like Orange Juice :)

@benfoldsfiver Exactly...when people think of jamaica and think of "happy dudes in dreadlocks drinking red stripe and smoking pot", they couldn't really be farther from the truth....jamaica had/has some nasty class/racial tension and violence and that is what birthed reggae
