Good list but you forgot a major one.
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
2 + 2 = ? - Bob Seger, also known as "Two Plus Two Is On My Mind". An extremely strong and angry song. The side of Seger not to many people know about.
The Radiohead song looks like it might be an updated cover, (I haven't heard it). Seger was singing about Vietnam.
