| - Alternative Rock (Modern Rock) band from Oxfordshire, England (United Kingdom).The name Radiohead comes from the Talking Heads song, %22Radio Head%22, from the %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Talking-Heads-True-Stories/master/39386]True Stories[/url]%22 album. Formed by school friends in 1986, Radiohead did not release their first single until 1992's %22[r=767600]%22. The cathartic %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Creep/master/21481]Creep[/url]%22, from the debut album %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Pablo-Honey/master/13344]Pablo Honey[/url]%22 (1993), became a worldwide hit as grunge music dominated radio airwaves. Radiohead were initially branded as a one-hit wonder abroad, but caught on at home in the UK with their second album, %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-The-Bends/master/17008]The Bends[/url]%22 (1995), earning fans with their dense guitar atmospheres and front man Thom Yorke's expressive singing. The album featured the hits %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-High-Dry-Planet-Telex/release/199387]High & Dry[/url]%22, %22[r=1463625]%22 and %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Fake-Plastic-Trees/master/21526]Fake Plastic Trees[/url]%22. The band's third album, %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-OK-Computer/master/21491]OK Computer[/url]%22 (1997), propelled them to greater attention. Popular both for its expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, the album has been acclaimed by critics as a landmark record of the 1990's, some critics go as far to consider it one of the best of all time. %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Kid-A/master/21501]Kid A[/url]%22 (2000) marked further evolution, containing influences from experimental electronic music.%22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-Hail-To-The-Thief/master/16962]Hail To The Thief[/url]%22 (2003) was seen as a conventional return to the guitar and piano-led rock sound. After fulfilling their contract with EMI, Radiohead released %22[url=http://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-In-Rainbows/master/21520]In Rainbows[/url]%22 (2007) famously via a pay-what-you-want model. Their latest album, %22[url=https://www.discogs.com/Radiohead-A-Moon-Shaped-Pool/master/998252]A Moon Shaped Pool[/url]%22, was released in May 2016.Radiohead's original influences were cited as alternative rock and post-punk bands like [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Smiths,+The]The Smiths[/url], Pixies, Magazine, Joy Division, and R.E.M. (with lead singer of the band, Thom Yorke, refering to himself as an 'R.E.M. groupie').

The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments), Colin Greenwood (bass), Phil Selway (drums, percussion, backing vocals) and Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals).Radiohead released their debut single %22Creep%22 in 1992. It became a worldwide hit after the release of the band's debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Their popularity rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their second album, The Bends (1995). Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to international fame; featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer is often acclaimed as one of the landmark records of the 1990s and one of the best albums of all time.Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) marked a dramatic evolution in Radiohead's musical style, as they incorporated experimental electronic music, krautrock and jazz influences. Hail to the Thief (2003), a mix of piano and guitar rock, electronics, and lyrics inspired by war, was the band's final album for their record label, EMI. Radiohead self-released their seventh album In Rainbows (2007) as a digital download for which customers could set their own price, to critical and chart success. Their eighth album, The King of Limbs (2011), was an exploration of rhythm and quieter textures, and was also self-released.Radiohead have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. Their work places highly in both listener polls and critics' lists of the best music of the 1990s and 2000s. In 2005, they were ranked 73rd in Rolling Stone's list of %22The Greatest Artists of All Time%22; Jonny Greenwood (48th) and O'Brien were both included in Rolling Stone 's list of greatest guitarists, and Yorke (66th) in their list of greatest singers.
