Just curious, what do you radiohead groupies think about Thom Yorke
performing three of the finest Roxy Music songs "2HB", "Ladytron" and
"Bitter-Sweet" on the "Velvet Goldmine" soundtrack?

If you ask me, you can't tell a _big_ difference from first hearing:
When I was watching the movie, I really thought it was Brian Ferry's
voice and I really am into the old Roxy Music material. Great stuff,
both the film and CD, so be sure to stop by and check for yourselves!

Season greetings,
Frank

I love them....but then again I am not too familiar with the work of Roxy
Music...but that may change.
Merry Xmas,

It doesn't sound anything like him. He's suddenly come up with this
deep baritone falsetto. Kind of strange but I liked it.

Buying the soundtrack for Velvet Goldmine might be a good starting point...
