So that.

Radiohead did a nice "On the Beach:"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQARzXtc2ik
Radiohead has also done "Down by the River" and 'Cinnamon Girl."
I've heard Golden Smog do a great "Revolution Blues" before. Uncle Tupelo did "Cortez."
Wedding Present did an OK "Don't Cry No Tears."
Nick Cave's "Helpless" is really good. So is Roxy Music's OTT Latin-disco-rock "Like a Hurricane."
Sort of a hard act to cover! Are we still counting?

Not sure if anyone's made a similar request, but I'm looking for some help in tracking down a copy of Everybody Knows This is Norway. I've tried the internets, Soulseek, Amazon, etc., and haven't made any headway at all. I think it's the only Neil-tribute LP I haven't yet found (once a couple of CDs arrive in the mail shortly, I'll be up to 15). I'd like to obtain an actual copy on CD or vinyl, but would happily settle for a CD-R.
