Karma Police-Easy All Stars:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGU_JJroVms
The structure as far as instrumentation is very similar as far as the use of the bass and drums to carry the song alone. The Easy All Stars version is much deeper in sound and carried a much slower tempo throughout the duration of the song. The Radiohead version incorporated the use of a piano to the lead the beat of the song as well. As far as the structure and organization of the two songs they are pretty much identical with the exact same lyrics. The emotional architecture of these songs differ in the way that the Easy All Stars version way much more happy and upbeat than that of Radiohead. Where you can see the most variation between the songs is in the balance. For the original version by radiohead there was lots of contrast between pitches during the song it it really helps show the great use of instrumentation in the song. I found that there is not a lot of panning from left speaker to right in the song. The Radiohead version has great depth and builds up to all the instruments jamming all together at the climax of the song. As for the Easy All star version the height of the song is much lower and monotone sticking to that classic reggae beat. Similar to the Radiohead there was no apparent panning from left speaker to right speaker. The build up to all the reggae instruments playing at once with a reggae groove really worked well. If i had to choose personally I like the version by the Easy All Stars much better only the on the basis that I am more into that reggae sound.
