Radiohead

Radiohead is an English rock band, formed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, piano), brothers Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments) and Colin Greenwood (bass), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). Radiohead emerged from the alternative rock scene with their debut single "Creep" in 1992. Initially labeled as a one-hit wonder, the band defied expectations by releasing their critically acclaimed sophomore album, "The Bends" in 1995, which expanded their musical range and established them as one of the most inventive and rewarding bands of their generation.

Building on their success, Radiohead released "OK Computer" in 1997, a masterwork that challenged and modernized rock music with its complex production and themes of technological alienation. The album's stature only grew with the anniversary release "OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017," which featured unreleased tracks like "I Promise" and "Man of War." Known for pushing musical boundaries, Radiohead delved into electronic and experimental music with subsequent albums "Kid A" (2000) and "Amnesiac" (2001), both of which furthered their status as one of the leading art rock bands. "KID A MNESIA," a 2021 compilation that marked the 21st anniversary of these groundbreaking albums, underlined the band's enduring legacy. In that vein, later works such as "A Moon Shaped Pool" (2016) continued their tradition of exploration and depth, with introspective songs like "Daydreaming" showcasing the band's maturity and ongoing artistic evolution. Throughout their career, Radiohead has remained famously independent in spirit and has amassed a dedicated international fan base, becoming one of the defining bands of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
