Radiohead
Jul 10
Radiohead emerged from the waning ’90s Brit-pop incursion with a sound that was moody, melodic, and explosive, with roots fixed strongly in both alternative culture and the art-rock legacy of such classic rockers as Pink Floyd. When they released the 1997 “OK Computer”, they became among the most closely watched bands of the decade. Their influences are Queen, R.E.M and Miles Davis.
The band consists the Singer/guitarist Thom Yorke who was born with his left eye closed and paralyzed, bassist Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien (guitar), Phil Selway (drums) and Colin’s brother Jonny. They started jamming in 1987 with a group name called On A Friday, but been dissolved when they went to different universities.
In 1997 they regrouped again and name themselves Radiohead.
