It was a homage to cover of 'Wish You Were Here' by Pink Floyd. That's what it was.
I know they aren't exactly the same, but there is no way in hell Thom Yorke wouldn't have seen this album cover.
On another interesting note concerning music, I read on wikipedia that Liam Gallagher (lead singer, Oasis) is good friends with Richard Ashcroft (lead singer, The Verve), and that it was Ashcroft that helped Oasis get started in their early days. However, I have not yet had the chance to go through the music of either of these two bands.
Now, you may know about the 'battle for britpop' way back in 1994, when Blur and Oasis were at loggerheads with each other over popularity, one which Blur won.
As I was reading about Damon Albarn (lead singer, Blur), he is good friends with Robet Del Naja (3D from Massive Attack). I really like both their bands, and it got me thinking. Should I ignore Oasis and The Verve simply because I like Blur more, or should not care about their personal issues here? (here's looking at you LIAM)
Liam Gallagher looking stoned
VS
Damon Albarn getting his balls squeezed
Well, the answer is obviously the latter, I just like britpop ^^
But are there people out there who would ignore a band just because their favourite band tell them they suck? (please avoid humiliating yourself by not mentioning east coast vs west coast trash here).
Oh and just for the heck of it

And I forgot to mention, in case anyone is that pedantic. Yes, 'Best of Radiohead' was not released by Radiohead, it was made by a record company getting as much money as it can out of a band they know they no longer have control over =D
But, my point abt the cover art remains

but radiohead personally pick their cover artt for anything they release, i think it was the same artist/fried that did the bends ok computer, HTTT and thoms own one. Besides i dont think ive ever seen a homage to another band i radiohead cover art, it usually some social commentary or something interesting, HTTT is a good one for that <:
you should look at my mars volta cds and booklet and see if you can pick out all the art homages (:

Actually, that artwork can be seen on the OK Computer LP from 1997. It's not on the cover it's on the inside and also on the record itself. It's just in black and white.
