Radiodread is a 2006 tribute album by Jamaican-American reggae collective the Easy Star All-Stars that covers British rock band Radiohead's 1997 album OK Computer in reggae, ska and dub styles. The album was released on 22 August 2006 in the United States and on 28 August 2006 in the UK.
== History == The Radiodread producer and arranger, Michael Goldwasser, said OK Computer had elements that were well suited to reggae, such as "strong melodies, intense dynamics and trippy soundscapes", but also uncommon elements such as complex time signatures and lots of chord changes. He said, "The more we looked at it, the more we realized that this was an album we had to do." The Radiohead singer, Thom Yorke, praised it, and the lead guitarist, Jonny Greenwood, described it as "truly astounding".
