This is pretty pretty pretty preeeeeeetty good (Larry David). They have other Radiohead covers that are good also.
Maybe I should check out some other stuff from this genre. Any recommendations?

super ape by lee 'scratch' perry and the upsetters is essential.

It's an amazing genre of music which is sadly overlooked by most people these days. I think the image & clichés of the genre puts people off. Plus the fact most people don't look further than Bob Marley's Legend hits record.
These are my favourites
Yabby You - Conquering Lion (1975)
Max Romeo & The Upsetters - War ina Babylon (1976)
Bob Marley - Catch a Fire (1973)
Johnny Osbourne - Truths and Rights (1979)
Junior Murvin - Police and Thieves (1977)
Bob Marley - Burnin' (1973)
Bob Marley - Exodus (1977)
I'd also recommend getting a best of Toots & The Maytals, great feelgood party reggae & the soundtrack to The Harder They Come is a good starting point as it's less rootsy & leans towards pop with some big hits on it.

UB40 should be outlawed. A bunch of Brummie arseholes who made millions by making terrible plastic covers of 60s ska standards.

In the past year I've listened to more ska, roots reggae and dub than anything else. There's 50 years of utterly brilliant, timeless music out there that's been doggedly ignored by most folk our age. Forget about Marley. If you download one reggae album, get Max Romeo's War In A Babylon, Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear (the full record) or if you really want to cut to the chase, Arkology by Lee Scratch Perry. Super Ape is alright, but King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown owns it in the dub stakes.
BTW: this > anthing on 'Legend'. Stick your No Woman No Cry up yer arse.
