Radiohead was formed in Oxford in 1991 by Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar), Phil Selway (drums), Ed O'Brien (guitar) and brothers Colin Greenwood (bass) and Jonny Greenwood (guitar, keyboards). They had previously played together in a band called On a Friday.
Their first album, Pablo Honey, featured the hit "Creep", one of the most played songs on English radio in 1993, which launched the band in the United States and, consequently, in other countries.
In 1995, The Bends was released, which featured the track "Fake Plastic Trees". But this album is not limited to the aforementioned song. The Bends is a collection of great songs, which served to prove Radiohead's great creative potential.
OK Computer, their third album, released in 1997, was critically acclaimed as one of the best rock albums of the 1990s, leading Radiohead to win a Grammy for Best Alternative Rock Performance.
Kid A, released in 2000, was classified as anti-rock, as an indecipherable album, musically. Amnesic, released in early June 2001, features songs that were created during the recordings of Kid A. This album doesn't sound that different from the previous one, as the experimentalism with a good dose of melancholy continues on it.
In 2003, Radiohead released the album Hail to the Thief. And in 2007, In Rainbowsarrived, a work that was initially released through digital download, for which buyers determined the price they wanted to pay.
The King of Limbs the group's eighth studio album, was released in February 2011. In 2016, the group released A Moon Shaped Pool.
