Welcome ! 
    Radiohead
Since their single "Creep" became a surprise hit in 1993, Radiohead have gone from potential one-hit wonders to icons of late-'90s rock. The quartet is known -- and celebrated -- equally for its brooding, atmospheric songs as singer Thom Yorke's lyrics, which can express potent sentiments of alienation while still allowing a glimmer of hope to seep through. Formed in Oxford, England in 1988, the group first called itself On a Friday, releasing the Drill EP in 1992. The same year, they signed to EMI/Capitol; they put out their first album, Pablo Honey, as Radiohead in 1993. The record contained the previously released single "Creep," which, appearing at the peak of grunge fever, scored the band a hit in America and catapulted Pablo Honey to gold status in the States. It also eventually grabbed the attention of England, who had previously ignored the band. Radiohead returned with The Bends in 1995; though the album didn't repeat the success of "Creep," it was praised for its more mature sound. Still, it failed to prepare anyone for the band's next release, 1997's OK Computer. A near-concept piece about the dehumanization created by a society steeped in technology, the album captured the attention of the public and media alike. It was deemed one of the year's best by critics in both the U.S. and the U.K., and won the band a Grammy the following year. After much anticipation, Radiohead returned with Kid A in 2000.
   
Radiohead Dollars And Cents (Live) WinMedia Alternative, Rock
A haunting, pleasantly "traditional" offering from the avant-garde auteurs. Anchored by a driving bass line and piloted by Thom Yorke's lilting vocals, "Dollars and Sense" is a dreamlike dose of back-to-basics for da 'Head.

Radiohead Pyramid Song LiquidAudio Alternative
Thom & co. tickle the ivories and tug at your disenfranchised heartstrings on this moody, downtempo tune from Amnesiac. It's all good but, is a chorus really such a bad thing, guys?
