Radiohead
Radiohead is an English rock band formed in Abingdon, Oxfordshire in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards), Jonny Greenwood (guitar, keyboards), Colin Greenwood (bass), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals) and Philip Selway (drums, percussion).
Initially garnering attention for their 1992 single "Creep," Radiohead quickly distanced themselves from their early grunge-influenced sound, embarking on a path of experimentation and innovation. Their music is often characterized by its complex arrangements, introspective lyrics, and exploration of themes such as existentialism, alienation, technology, and politics.
Radiohead's discography is critically acclaimed and commercially successful, including the albums OK Computer (1997), widely considered one of the greatest albums of all time, Kid A (2000), a radical departure from their previous work incorporating electronic music and experimental rock elements, and In Rainbows (2007), notable for its "pay-what-you-want" digital release.
The band is known for their distinctive artwork, often created by artist Stanley Donwood, which complements the themes and atmosphere of their music. Radiohead has been influential on numerous artists and bands, and remains a significant force in contemporary music.
