I love Radiohead with all my heart, but the pretentious nature of 50% of their fans is obnoxious. Yes, they are one of the most accomplished, innovative, and brilliant groups ever, but they are not all that is good in the world. Grow up and open your ears a bit.

There is more good music out there, but if Nickelback covers a radiohead song, then we can discuss painful musical experiences.

To all the people who complain that Barkley "butchered" this or something...

Covers are meant to be tributes. He's showing respect to Radiohead. Show respect to him for that. Get your dicks out of your ears and enjoy the music. It's meant to give you joy, not arouse your need to criticize everything around you.

Thanks.

[dillon123met]

gnarles barkley isn't a he, cee lo green is a he, sorry, but i don't know the dude with the afro's name

[2justice4no1]

Well everybody is bitching about the haters, and I see 0 dislikes and a comment or two about how they don't like it. I think people tend to jump on the fans of Radiohead before anything even really happens.

radiohead fan and a cee lo/gnarls barkley fan...here's to musical titans coming together for an auditorial supernova.

@mattyz1587 - I completely agree. Radiohead is undoubtedly my favorite band but I find many of their fans are not only pretentious, but rather arrogant towards other artists/genres.

[lbstwinkie]

This is magical. Cee Lo has soul like nobody knows.

[MrFozzapuskas]

I think it's a good live version and it suits the band, although is very similar to the original but I suppose it's better than Mike Flowers Pop and his Wonderwall cover!!! His voice is spot on and I like the fact it didn't go all bombastic but remained subtle (ie the rest of the band). To be honest, I am from the UK and I am presumming that Reckoner was quite well received in the USA? It certainly isn't the in the top 10 Radiohead songs, and I'd say about 6th best on In Rainbows

[PeterStoreysbutler]

Totally agree with Y2Kia and mattyz1587 I love Radiohead but to say this isnt a great version is ridiculous. What a voice this fella has. There are some 'head fans who are right twats. Can't you love both versions ffs? I bet that Thom reads some of these comments and cringes.
