Radiohead


Formed in Oxford in 1985 and originally named On a Friday, Radiohead are a British alternative rock band. Their first success came from the single "Creep" which saw them receive mass praise in the UK and US. Although their second album The Bends was lauded, it was third album OK Computer that put Radiohead into a new level of artistry. It has since become regarded as one of the best albums of all time and is highlighted as the change in the bands music from guitar oriented rock to more melancholic and atmospheric music. They have gone on to release consecutive UK no.1 albums in the form of Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail To The Thief and In Rainbows. Many bands today quote Radiohead as direct influences on their own musical developments such as Bloc Party, Coldplay and Gorillaz.
