When is a cover song better than the original? Only you can decide. This week: Gnarls Barkley takes on Radiohead’s “Reckoner.” MAGNET’s Edward Fairchild pulls the pin. Take cover!
Cee-Lo lays some thick soul on the Radiohead number. This is the world’s biggest R&B band covering the world’s biggest alternative band. Thom Yorke and Co. could probably do a killer version of “Crazy,” but it’s likely we’ll never hear it.

One reply on “Take Cover! Gnarls Barkley Vs. Radiohead”
I could never vote between the two. Radiohead gets brownie points for originally writing it. Gnarles Barkley gets points thrown their way for covering it so well in a live setting.
