Radiohead are an English rock band formed in Oxfordshire in 1986. The band comprises 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).
Radiohead released their first single, "Creep", in 1992, followed by their debut album
Pablo Honey (1993). Though it was initially unsuccessful, the song became a worldwide
hit by the time it was reissued a year later. Radiohead's popularity in the
United Kingdom increased with their second album, The Bends (1995).
The band's dense, textured guitar atmospheres and Thom Yorke's expressive falsetto
singing were warmly received by critics and fans.[1] Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997),
propelled them to greater fame. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation,
it was acclaimed worldwide, often being named a landmark record of the 1990s.
