Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The band is consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O’Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).Radiohead launched their first single, “Creep,” in 1992. The song was originally unsuccessful, but it became a universal hit several months after the launching of their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead’s fame rose in the United Kingdom with the launching of their second album, The Bends (1995). The band’s textured guitar parts and Yorke’s falsetto singing were lovingly received by critics and fans. Radiohead’s third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to greater international fame. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer has often been highly praised as a landmark record of the 1990s.
Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) noticeable a change in the band’s musical style. Radiohead included tentative electronic music, Krautrock, post-punk and jazz influences into their songs, dividing fans and critics, but they stay on popular. Hail to the Thief (2003), a mix of guitar-driven rock, electronics and lyrics stirred by headlines, was the band’s final album for their major record label, EMI.
