An english alternative rock band that formed in Oxfordshire in 1985 by the name of 'On a Friday'.

Achieved a world wide smash hit single 'Creep' in 1992, but came to detest being recognized a as one hit wonder band. So the members decided to explore new ground with each subsequent and diverse album, dipping their musical toes in Jazz, Electronica, Avant-Garde, Space and Art rock.

By 2007 they had released their seventh studio album over the internet, but with a catch... buyers could purchase the album for whatever price they wanted. Even for nothing.

Radiohead have developed a massive fan base over the years and have been regarded critically by many as one of the greatest bands alive today, having been chosen by the Rolling Stone magazine as one of the greatest artists of all time.

But on a separate note, anyone who cites Radiohead as 'boring' or 'pretentious', HAS CLEARLY NEVER BLOODY LISTENED TO 'KID A' IN THEIR LIFE!!!!!!!
"Oi mate, this Radiohead stuff is naff!"

"Good lord, I'm sorry I ever doubted you! This album is AMAZING!"

A crap moaning band who lost creativity after 2 albums so started putting random bleeps and clicks together and have the balls to call it 'music'.
Also have a mong-eye lead singer who thinks he's a politician.
Radiohead are overrated. Radiohead have a mong of a lead singer.

A shit band with repetitive albums that sing about their posse and how everyone is out to get them.
If you intellegent people read their book, youll see that usually the 8th song refers to Thom, the 5th to his stupid guitar friend, and on and on...poor them. Then to make matters worse, they bash Nirvana. Nirvana came wayyy before them.
