I've heard a bit of Gabriel's version of street spirit... I have to say I hate it a bit!!! It just sounds like something a drama teacher would come up with... "it's arty and you don't get it" No it's just not very good. Still fair play for loving radiohead and doing a cover that is different. Just not for me! Hope radioheads version of his song is better. It might just be Thom doing an electric version in 5 minutes though. Hope it's a full band version and if it means a lot to Thom, maybe they will give it a good go.

That's probably one reason why they're doing it. I expected them to do something more rhythmic and dark like Intruder. I've just heard the Peter Gabriel version of Street Spirit and to say it's a total reworking would be an understatement! RH will be pleased with the version because it's so different. I need to give it more listens before I really like it's weirdness. Wallflower IS a good song and totally unexpected for the one RH are doing IMO. That’s probably one reason why they’re doing it.
