- Radiohead is an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. After signing to EMI in 1991, Radiohead released their debut single "Creep" in 1992. It became a worldwide hit after the release of their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Their popularity and critical standing rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their second album, The Bends (1995). Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to international fame.- IMDb Mini Biography By: PW
- In March 2003, Radiohead's 1997 album "OK Computer" came 17th in Classic Rock Magazine's list of the 30 greatest concept albums of all time. In 2005, it was voted by viewers of Channel 4 as the greatest album of all time.
- In June 2019, hackers obtained 18 hours worth of the band's recordings. The hackers demanded a £150.000 ransom or else they would release the entire material online. Instead of giving in, the band decided to release the recordings themselves for a good cause. Bundled as a digital album with a price of £18, the entire proceeds are going to Exctinion Rebellion, an organization with the aim to fight climate change.
- Their album "In Rainbows" won the 2008 Ivor Novello Award for album of the year.
- Considered one of the coolest and most critically acclaimed alternative rock bands, the first photograph of the band is unfortunately rather less than cool as it features them posing at Abingdon School as teenagers in front of posters of IQ's "The Wake" (an obscure 1980s prog-rock band), Iron Maiden and Marillion.
- Karma Police, arrest this man/ he talks in math he buzzes like a Fridge/ he's like a detuned radio.
