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!!!!!!!

A guy named Thome Yorke who moans into a mic and has annoying back up sound that clashes with the bad singing (moaning).

Not that great of a band as some people with horrible taste in music say.
You will like this band if you are...
1. Depressed
2. Fan of noise
3. Into listening to a weird ugly ass dude who can't sing
4. Fan of guitarist who used distorted guitar with no skill
5. Into listening to synthesizers and other varieties of ways to distract the listeners from realizing that the music actually sucks major ass
6. A mindless kid who likes mainstream watches MTV everyday

Named after the Talking Heads song of the same name. Have evolved from angst-fuelled noise/driblings into a kind of a post Floyd sideshow.

Overrated and stale alternative rock band who have made a career off of writing the same album over and over again.
A favorite among whiny pretentious emo kids and hipsters who think they know shit about music.

1. an overrated chump Britpop band that got great success and critical adulation in the fucking PC 90s and still gets it today. Singer Thom Yorke whines lyrics full of angst and painful references. The other players ain't so hot either. They first hit it big with "The Bends" in 1995 and their 1997 album "O.K. Computer" was declared a "classic", comparable with the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall". Yeah, right. 2000's "Kid A" has also been declared a "masterpiece", but that just shows what a wasteland popular music has become. That album is just pompous, pretentious crap. Radiohead is a critical "darling" favorite just like that other Britpop dud, Oasis. Ha ha ha.
2. "Radio Head" is a cool, catchy number found on the 1986 album "True Stories" by the unique American New Wave band Talking Heads. The song title inspired the name of the overrated British band.

1. Radiohead gets compared to U2 and Pink Floyd alot and that is a crock of shit. Their music is just artsy-fartsy tedium with whiny vocals. All their albums are boring rubbish.
2. The song "Radio Head" is pumped up by a guest accordion player. Get the "True Stories" CD and check out this and the other fine cuts on this album.
