Radiohead
Radiohead
are an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band
consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Greenwood (lead
guitar, keyboards, other instruments), Colin Greenwood (bass), Phil Selway
(drums, percussion) and Ed O'Brien (guitars, backing vocals).
Radiohead
released their debut single "Creep" in 1992. The song was initially
unsuccessful, but it became a worldwide hit several months after the release of
their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead's 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 greater
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.[1]
Kid
A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) marked an evolution in Radiohead's musical style,
as the group incorporated experimental electronic music, Krautrock and jazz
influences. Kid A, though somewhat polarizing at the time of its release, is
now frequently recognized as one of the most important albums of the 2000s.
Hail to the Thief (2003), a mix of piano and guitar driven rock, electronics
and lyrics inspired by war, was the band's final album for their major record
label, EMI. Radiohead self-released their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007), as
a digital download for which customers could set their own price, and later in
physical form to critical and chart success. Radiohead's eighth album, The King
of Limbs (2011), was an exploration of rhythm and quieter textures, which the
band released independently.
Radiohead
have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, with the band's work being
placed highly in both listener polls and critics' lists, they have the
distinction of doing so in both the 1990s and 2000s. In 2005, Radiohead were
ranked number 73 in Rolling Stone's list of "The Greatest Artists of All
Time", while Ed O'Brien and Jonny Greenwood were both included in Rolling
Stone's list of greatest guitarists, and Thom Yorke in their list of greatest
singers. In 2009, Rolling Stone readers voted the group the second best artist
of the 2000s.
