10 years after OK Computer...

[olliejen]

There isn't a singer-songwriter of note today that doesn't list Radiohead as one of their heroes or influences.

It's been 10 years since OK Computer was released and while there's no shortage of Radiohead covers, Stereogum rounded up artists to cover the entire OK Computer album:

The two-fold purpose of this thread is such:

1. What do you think of these covers?

2. If you are a big fan of Radiohead, what was it about them that made their music resonate so strongly with people? Is it the emotion from Thom Yorke's singing voice? Something about the themes in the music itself? The melodies or instruments or recording techniques? If you're not a big fan of their music, why doesn't it "work" for you?
