I have heard the Damien Rice version today and it is not a patch on the magnificent Radiohead version.
 
That tosser Jamie Callum has done a cover of High and Dry.....only heard a bit of it on an advert but can imagine how shite it will be.

Why do these dickheads do it? If they like it, leave it the fook alone!!!
 
Im not sure about Jamie Callum but at least he gives a cover version, his song does sound different compare to the original, unlike many other covers we hear where it is just a karaoake version. Callum also did a cover of Lover, u should have come over, havent heard it but would intrigued.

I dont agree about Pablo Honey being better than the Bends...and Black Star is definitely underrated, i especially like the lyrics...'well what am i to do..' that sad, loneliness reflects so well. What was sad about Thom Yorke not liking Creep is definitely true though. In 10 or 20 yrs time, we will look back at this band and think wow, because to b honest, to this current day, i still think they r underrated and are thought of still by some as a student band and their music is too dark..( listen to Elliott Smith if u want it dark, he even committed suicide)a crying shame....

For even darker, try Tindersticks.

Oh Yeah Tindersticks esp the first two albums were a great study in suicide music.

Even more mournful (but unlistenable to normal people) would be "Det Som Engang Var" and "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" a couple of albums by one man genius Varg Vikernes aka Burzum. Convicted of murder he dealt in extreme Black metal before recording a couple of ambient albums in prison.
 
It was because Thom Yorke doesn't like Creep that Moby covered it - when Radiohead were headlining Glastonbury in 2003 they said they didn't want to play Creep and asked the other acts playing if one of them would perform it to save Radiohead having to do it. Moby was headlining the Pyramid Stage & obliged them.
