Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Oxfordshire. The band is composed of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, electronics), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (Bass Guitar, synthesisers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). Throughout their career, Radiohead have released seven albums and have sold over 23 million records.[1] Radiohead released their first single, "Creep", in 1992, and their debut album, Pablo Honey, in 1993. Though initially unsuccessful, "Creep" was a worldwide hit when reissued a year later. Radiohead's popularity in the United Kingdom increased with the release of their second album, The Bends (1995). The band's textured guitar atmospheres and Yorke's falsetto singing were warmly received by critics and fans. With the release of OK Computer (1997), Radiohead were propelled to greater fame worldwide. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer has often been acclaimed as a landmark record of the 1990s. The release of Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) saw Radiohead reach their peak popularity, although the albums divided critical opinion. This period saw a change in Radiohead's musical style, with their incorporation of experimental electronic music, Krautrock and jazz influences. Hail to the Thief (2003), Radiohead's sixth album, blended styles from throughout the band's career, mixing guitar-driven rock, electronic influences and contemporary lyrics. Radiohead subsequently left their record label, EMI and released their seventh album, In Rainbows (2007), through their own website as a digital download for which customers selected their own price.

the 1995 album ''The Bends"

the 1997 album ''OK Computer"

the 2000 album ''Kid A''

the 2003 album ''Hail to the Thief''

everything since then is some digital, sleep-inducing bullcrap that is over analyzed and claimed to be "genius'' or ''thought provoking and beautiful'' by all the radiohead cultists. if someone disagrees with them they will say how bad they feel for them for not being able to comprehend a certain level of maturity in music and then talk about either how stupid the human race is or how bad current music is today.

the truth is radiohead is a great band that's been making bad music lately and is definitely overrated but honestly? what great band isn't overrated?
