Yorke and J. Greenwood are chiefly responsible for songwriting, most often with Yorke originating songs and Greenwood building on them. The band's early influences include artists such as [[Elvis Costello]], the [[Pixies]], [[Pink Floyd]], [[R.E.M. (band)|R.E.M.]], [[U2 (band)|U2]], [[Talking Heads]], [[The Beatles]], [[The Smiths]], and [[Manchester|Mancunian]] post-punk acts [[The Fall (band)|The Fall]], [[Joy Division (band)|Joy Division]], and Magazine. Later influences include German art-rock band [[Can (band)|Can]], electronic artists such as [[Autechre]] and [[Aphex Twin]], and jazz artists such as [[Charles Mingus]] and [[Miles Davis]].

[[record producer|Producer]] [[Nigel Godrich]] has worked with the band since the recording of ''[[The Bends]]'', where he assisted producer [[John Leckie]], and has contributed significantly to their sound, often being dubbed the "sixth member" of the band. Another major contributor is [[Stanley Donwood]], who has produced the artwork for the band's albums since their ''[[My Iron Lung]]'' [[Extended play|EP]] in collaboration with "Dr. [[Tchock]]"&mdash;a pseudonym for Yorke. Donwood and Yorke met at the [[University of Exeter]], and also produce the official band website, [http://www.radiohead.com/ Radiohead.com].

/****************************/
Many believe Radiohead to have had a strong influence on contemporary [[Britpop]] bands including [[Coldplay]], [[Stereophonics]], [[Muse (band)|Muse]] and [[Travis]]. Other bands have also noted Radiohead as an influence. ''The Bends'' and ''OK Computer'' are particularly influential in this respect. With his usual wry wit, Thom commented on this: in [[2001]], when asked by ''[[The New Yorker]]'', "how do you guys feel about the fact that bands like Travis, Coldplay, and Muse are making a career sounding exactly like your records did in 1997?" he replied, "good luck with ''Kid A''." Radiohead influence also flows further in many other acts as well as public style from the late 90s and nowadays. The band has a revered rock 'n roll status and is hailed as one of the best acts of the mid '90s. Fans and media regard them as a seminal rock outfit and natural inheritors of R.E.M. and Pink Floyd's mantle. In the late years, Yorke showed some of [[Bono]] and [[Michael Stipe]]'s public persona features with disagreement and outcry against the [[2003 invasion of Iraq|Iraq war in 2003]] and against various other topics in politics and social life.[[Image:Singingthom.jpg|right|225px|thumb]]

===One hit wonders: ''Pablo Honey'' (1991&ndash;1993)===
}
[[Image:9311.jpg|300px|right|thumb|from left: [[Colin Greenwood|Colin]], [[Ed O'Brien|Ed]], [[Thom Yorke|Thom]], [[Phil Selway|Phil]] and [[Jonny Greenwood|Jonny]]]]Radiohead formed during the late [[1980s]], originally under the name '''On A Friday''', a name referring to the only time where all band members were able to practice. They first came to international attention in the early [[1990s]], when their single "Creep" received extensive airplay and charted in many countries. Striking a highly popular and sympathetic note of similar self-loathing among fans, "Creep" was released around the same time as other so-called "[[slacker]]" anthems such as [[Beck]]'s "Loser".
 
#content div.thumb {
The band weren't unanimously keen on Creep and, until recently, refused to play it, believing that its meaning had been misinterpreted and given too much weight by fans. It was initially passed over, dismissed by Yorke as 'Jonny's Scott Walker song'. Legend says that Jonny's famous guitar crunches were supposedly an attempt to ruin a song he didn't like. "Jonny played the piano at the end of the song and it was gorgeous" notes producer Paul Kolderie. "Everyone who heard Creep just started going insane. So that's what got us the job doing the album." The album was finished in three weeks. The single "Creep" was released in September 1992, while the album was scheduled for February next year. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the band, a radio station in San Francisco, "Live 105" had just named ''[[Pablo Honey]]'' its favourite record of the year and quickly crossed over onto L.A.'s [[KROQ]] and other West Coast stations. The single eventually peaked at a modest 34 in the US, but Pablo Honey went gold. A year after its original release, a reissued "Creep" finally hit the UK charts, peaking at number 7. Because the album kept on breaking around the world, the Pablo Honey supporting tour lumbered into its second year. ''Pablo Honey'' was a solid, if unremarkable recording, that lacks both the force and experimentation of their later work. Regardless, their potential was evident with songs like the aforementioned "Creep", "Anyone Can Play Guitar", "Thinking About You" and "You".

===Breakthrough and rise to success: ''The Bends'' (1994&ndash;1995)===
background: white;
In [[1995]] it was time for their second record -- the more significant and better one, ''[[The Bends]]''. It was unexpectedly and suprisingly more mature than their previous, considering the fact that they were marked as one-hit-wonders after their debut. However the edifice marked "follow-up to Creep" casted a long shadow over the sessions.[[Image:9610.jpg|300px|left|thumb|in clockwise order: Colin, Phil, Ed, Jonny, and Thom]]"It was either going to be Sulk, The Bends, Nice Dream or Just," remembers producer [[John Leckie]]. "We had to give those absolute attention, make the amazing, instant smash hits number 1 in America. Everyone was pulling their hair and saying, 'It's not good enough! We were trying too hard.'" The [[EP]] ''[[My Iron Lung]]'' ([[1994]]) was released between the two albums, and saw the band in a transitional stage between the poppy simplicity of ''Pablo Honey'' and the musical depth of their next album. The solution was a change of scenario: they quit the studio and toured Australasia and the Far East. "It made them re-evaluate what they were good at and enjoyed doing," claimed Hufford. "Playing live again put the perspective back on what they'd lost in the studio." Having worked the songs in on the road, they returned to Britain and completed the album in a fortnight.

Drawing heavily on [[1960s]] influences as well as the then popular music exemplified by groups such as the Pixies and R.E.M., the album was a significant step forward for the group with Yorke's vocal style to the fore. Tracks such as "Planet Telex", "Street Spirit (fade out)" and "Fake Plastic Trees" were striking, original and indicators of the group's subsequent developments. Although the album helped the band shake off the popular conception that they were "one hit wonders", it wasn't until the fifth single, "Street Spirit (fade out)", that the band would hit the top 10 again after "Creep".

Despite that it was not a Britpop album, it was associated with the movement and in early 1996 &mdash; widely praised a year after the album's release &mdash; Radiohead took part in Cool Britannia, battling famous acts like [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]], [[Blur]], [[Pulp (band)|Pulp]] and [[Suede (band)|Suede]]. Now, ''The Bends'' is considered by many critics and fans as one of the best albums of the mid-1990s.

===At the height of their popularity: ''OK Computer'' (1996&ndash;1998)===
background-color: #F8FCFF;
Radiohead began writing ''[[OK Computer]]'' in early [[1996]] at their rehearsal studio, Canned Applause, a converted apple shed near their homes in Oxford, England. By July they had recorded four songs with producer Nigel Godrich. Having learnt from ''The Bends'', they decided to break the songs in live before completing the record.[[Image:Ok_-_Radiohead.jpg|300px|right|thumb|from left: Jonny, Thom, Phil, Ed and Colin]]By July 1996, Canned Applause was set up for recording. It was the first time the band had attempted to cut album tracks outside of a conventional studio environment. Despite the experimental and unconventional setting, four songs from Canned Applause found their way onto the album. The songs were "Subterranean Homesick Alien", "Electioneering", "The Tourist" and "No Surprises".
}
 
.ns-0 * #mytabs li a {
At July and August, they returned briefly for touring to present and try the new songs. In September they moved to St. Catherine's Court&mdash;a mansion owned by actress [[Jane Seymour (actress)|Jane Seymour]]&mdash;where they recorded the rest of ''OK Computer'', without pressure. They made much use of the various different rooms and atmospheres throughout the house, and the isolation from the outside world encouraged time to run at a different pace, making working hours more flexible and spontaneous. A couple of songs&mdash;"Exit Music (for a film)" and "Let Down"&mdash;were recorded live. By Christmas 1996, the album was finished, and in February and March was mixed. "The biggest pressure was actually completing it," remembers Ed O'Brien. "We weren't given any deadlines and we had complete freedom to do what we wanted. We were delaying it because we were a bit frightened of actually finishing stuff."

In [[16 June]] [[1997]] ''OK Computer'' was released and received even greater acclaim than ''The Bends'', featuring prominently in many "best album" polls, then and now. It found Radiohead introducing uncommon musical elements, experimenting with [[ambient|ambience]] and [[noise music|noise]] to create a set of songs that many consider to be a high point of late-twentieth century rock music. It received a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album and was followed by their big "Against Demons World Tour". [[Grant Gee]], the director of the "No Surprises" video, accompanied the band on their tour and filmed it, which resulted in the "on the fly" documentary ''[[Meeting People Is Easy]]'', which showed the band starting from their first and glorious tours and finishing in their burn-out.

Colin Greenwood said about the album: "I think the overall mood on the record is starker than The Bends. I think that there is a consistent sound to 80 percent of the new album. I think we made things a little bit more extreme on this record. The important thing for us on this record was that we produce it ourselves. We had to learn how to make decisions amongst the six of us. There was the five people in the band and the engineer/mixer Nigel Godrich. We learned a lot from doing it on our own and in retrospect, we are very proud of this record." The band released two EPs ''[[Running From Demons|No Surprises/Running From Demons]]'' ([[1997]]) and ''[[Airbag/How Am I Driving?]]''([[1998]]), which differ only by a couple of songs. The more notable is the second, which has few songs that could best be described as a bridge between the progressive alternative rock of ''OK Computer'' and their subsequent experimental work.

''OK Computer'' and [[the Verve|Verve]]'s sublime final effort - ''[[Urban Hymns]]'' - are regarded as a boost of the already dying Britpop movement, despite that both records departed from the style. Nevertheless ''OK Computer'' is regarded by some as one of the greatest rock albums and still tops peaks of various charts. It nailed Radiohead as top superstars and defined them as one of the greatest bands of 90s, threatening the leadership of seminal acts like R.E.M. and U2.

===Experimental work: ''Kid A'' and ''Amnesiac'' (1999&ndash;2001)===
/* END LIGHT BLUE SECTION */
Exhausted by their fame and on the verge of burnout following the ''OK Computer'' tour, the band spent the latter part of 1998 in relative quiet. They only appeared at the Amnesty International Concert in Paris ([[10 December]] [[1998]]), and Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood performed at the Tibetan Freedom Concert in Amsterdam, where a new song, "Pyramid Song", made its live debut.[[Image:Indexpromosepia_01.jpg|300px|left|thumb|from left: Colin, Phil, Jonny, Thom, [[record producer|producer]] Nigel Godrich, Ed]]Thom Yorke admitted that after the tour the band was on the verge of splitting up. He also added that he fell in depression, but managed to recover with [[Michael Stipe]]'s (R.E.M.'s singer) help. After O'Brien's collaboration for the [[BBC]] drama series "Eureka Street", the band returned to the studio to record ''[[Kid A]]'', a defiantly experimental album that complemented the lyrical and musical hooks of their earlier work with a more minimalist style.
/**************************/
 
/* Display "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" */
''Kid A'' was finished in [[April 2000]] and with no singles, yet with promos, the album was promoted mainly on the Internet. This is where Radiohead's infamous relationship with [[Napster]] came into play. Three months prior to the release of ''Kid A'' [[MP3]] tracks of the entire album made their way onto the file sharing service. As Richard Menta of [[MP3 Newswire]] detailed in his essay "Did Napster Take Radiohead's New Album to Number 1?" millions of fans had possession of this music by the time the CD hit stores. The record industry assumed the album was now doomed to failure since fans already had the music for free. Instead the opposite happened and the band, which had never hit the US top 20 before, captured the number one spot in ''Kid A'''s debut week. With the record's absence of radio airplay, big time marketing, and any other factor that may have explained this stunning success, Menta declared this was proof of the promotional powers of file trading and of word-of-mouth generated by the Net.

Even [[Oasis (band)|Oasis]]' chief [[Noel Gallagher]] admitted that ''Kid A'''s great marketing scheme was its lack of any promotion: "If you refuse to talk about your own album, that just stirs the pot and makes everyone else start talking about it." While others agreed with Gallagher's assessment, it ignored any potential effect of Napster despite the fact it distributed ''Kid A'' to a huge number of music fans. Whatever the reason for the record's success on the charts, ''Kid A'' took the band from indie faves to burgeoning supergroup. The album's arrangements have been likened to a meeting of [[Pink Floyd]] and [[Aphex Twin]]. ''Kid A'' was released in [[October 2000]]. The band cited Alice Coltrane, [[Charles Mingus]] and [[Paul Lansky]] as influences, as well as the entire back catalogue of [[Warp Records]]. ''Kid A'' received [[Grammy]] Award for Best Alternative Album as its predecessor, which fired them to superstardom. Today, ''Kid A'' is considered by fans and critics as one of the greatest electronic albums made by a rock band and one of Radiohead's finest records.

[[Image:Thief_-_Radiohead.jpg|300px|right|thumb||from left: Ed, Jonny, Thom, Phil and Colin]]The follow-up, ''[[Amnesiac]]'', which was released in June of the following year, was comprised of further tracks from the same recording sessions as ''Kid A''. Conceived as two separate sequences of songs, the two albums are similar in style and are linked by two different versions of the same song: "Morning Bell." While explaining the decision to release two albums rather than one, Thom illuminates his artistic intentions and further clarifies the relationship between ''Kid A'' and ''Amnesiac'': "They are separate because they cannot run in a straight line with each other. They cancel each other out as overall finished things. They come from two different places, I think ... In some weird way, I think ''Amnesiac'' gives another take on ''Kid A'', a form of explanation." He continues: "Something ''traumatic'' is happening in ''Kid A'', and this is looking back at it, trying to piece together what has happened. Go back and listen to ''Kid A'' after listening to ''Amnesiac'', and I think you'll hear it."
#ca-edit a { font-weight: bold !important; }

About the differences with the previous record he says: "''Kid A'' was kind of like an electric shock. ''Amnesiac'' is more about being in the woods, in the countryside. I think the artwork is the best way of explaining it. The artwork to ''Kid A'' was all in the distance. The fires were all going on the other side of the hill. With ''Amnesiac'', you're actually in the forest while the fire's happening. With ''Kid A'', when you sequenced certain tracks together, this play started appearing." Indeed, while ''Kid A'' is a more soulful, melodic, and inviting record, albeit slightly dark, ''Amnesiac'' is instantly unsettling and more uncomfortable to the listener. Nevertheless the album was received very well and nearly reached ''Kid A'''s sales. While fans tend to like ''Kid A'' more than ''Amnesiac'', the latter should be considered as the next successful and experimental chapter of their expedition in the musical world.

After the release of the album, the band staged their own mini-festival in [[Oxford]]'s South Park, featuring [[Sigur Rós]], [[Supergrass]], [[Humphrey Lyttelton]] (who played [[trumpet]] on "Life in a Glass House", the closing track on ''Amnesiac''), and themselves. It was at this concert that the band finally played "Creep," after having refused to perform the song for many years. Initially the band wanted to release "''I Might Be Wrong''" as their new single after "Pyramid Song" and "Knives Out", but soon the idea expanded into a full-fledged live record. In the fall of 2001, they released their first live album: ''[[I Might Be Wrong|I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings]]'', featuring performances from Berlin, Paris, London and a couple of other concerts and also including one unreleased track, "True Love Waits".

===Mixing from everything: ''Hail to the Thief'' (2002&ndash;mid-2004)===
The recording process for their next record, ''[[Hail to the Thief]]'', was remarkably different from those for the previous three studio albums. Their sessions were more like ''the Bends'', rather than the usual holing in a studio for months. The band elected to take their new material on the road in [[Portugal]] and [[Spain]] during July and August of 2002 prior to recording it. With the songs fleshed out and finalised during the tour, the band completed the album in a [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] studio in a fortnight. In [[2003]] the band released their sixth album, which was rooted in less overt experimentation than its two immediate predecessors but was still a long way from their earlier guitar-driven material.[[Image:evans109006pa.jpg|500px|left|thumb|from left: Phil, Ed, Jonny, Colin and Thom]] The album's title raised controversy in the U.S., being interpreted as a reference to the [[U.S. presidential election, 2000|2000 U.S. Presidential election]]. The band deny this claim. In the June 2003 issue of ''[[Spin Magazine]]'', Thom Yorke was quoted as saying "If the motivation for naming our album had been based solely on the U.S. election, I'd find that to be pretty shallow." Instead, Yorke claimed that he had gotten the phrase from a radio program about the also controversial [[U.S. presidential election, 1888| 1888 U.S. presidential election]]. That being said, he couldn't deny that the phrase ''"Hail to the thief"'' was additionally used as an [[anti]]-[[George W. Bush|Bush]] slogan by protestors at the end of the controversial 2000 election campaign that put him into the White House. On the day of his inauguration, Bush was greeted in Washington by thousands of protestors with banners, who shouted "Hail to the thief, our commander in chief!".

Two months before the album release, an unfinished version of the album was stolen, apparently from the recording studio where they were working, and uploaded to the internet. Unfortunately for them, the original album recordings also met the same fate, but the band remained adamant, didn't pull the album for an earlier date, and released it on the announced day: [[June 9]], [[2003]]. Even though the album was leaked, its sales overgrew those of their last two records both in its first week of release and overall. ''Hail to the Thief'' displayed influences from Radiohead's last three records, containing some electronic and ambient pieces and some new experimental sounds. It is generally considered to be a more guitar-based record than Kid A and Amnesiac. It was greeted warmly by both fans and the press. In contrast to the band's mood following the release of OK Computer, subsequent interviews and performances showed a band contented with themselves and their record: they were responding kindly to any interviews, while Yorke and his bandmembers were grinning and dancing on stages.
 
.diffchange {
After that, Radiohead embarked on a huge international tour, which continued for about a year. It saw the band visiting Australia and Japan for the first time for more than 6 years, since their ''OK Computer'' tour in [[1997]]&ndash;[[1998]], many Australian fans were deeply upset by the cancellation of the last show merely hours before its scheduled start due to problems with Yorke's throat, many fans had come to Melbourne all the way from Brisbane. Radiohead headlined the main (Pyramid) stage on the Saturday of the [[Glastonbury festival|Glastonbury]] [[2003]], to huge crowd acclaim and positive press reviews. They omitted the traditional fan-pleasing "Creep" (in all their concerts but their last, at [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival|Coachella Festival]])(Note from random editor - Not true, they played it at least once - at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD on 8/20/03. I know because I was there, but check some setlist sites for further proof) to no-one's surprise. The same year, Jonny Greenwood, with the help of his brother fellow bandmember Colin Greenwood, recorded and produced the soundtrack ''[[Bodysong (album)|Bodysong]]'' for the avant-garde documentary movie of the same name. One year after the release of ''Hail to the Thief'', Radiohead released a new EP entitled ''[[COM LAG (2plus2isfive)]]'', while on their [[2004]] tour in [[Australia]] and [[Japan]]. With 11 tracks, ''COM LAG'' is longer than the average Radiohead EP. It features live takes, remixes, and different versions of ''Hail to the Thief''-era songs, as well as a handful of acoustic and electronic numbers. The band finished touring and promoting ''Hail to the Thief'' in mid-2004 with an acclaimed performance at [[Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival|Coachella Festival]].

After the lengthy tour, the rest of [[2004]] passed with band members devoting themselves to solo projects and recordings with other artists. Chief artists Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke were mostly at the fore, while the remaining made seldom public or creative appearances. Drummer Phil Selway, unlike previous years, also started doing collaborative work.

Jonny became composer for BBC, charged with creating classical pieces. He and Thom participated in the [[Band Aid 20]] project and also both will some new work at the London Synfonietta in 27 and 28 March 2005. Greenwood along with Phil will have cameo role in the next Harry Potter movie - ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (movie)|HP and the Goblet of Fire]]''. Phil also was working with the longtime collaborators Samaritans Health Organizations. The band only gave note of themselves as a whole, releasing the DVD - ''[[The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth Of All Time]]''.

However after a year out of the spotlight Radiohead returned again to recording sessions. It came first from a short mention of Thom in early March on the official message board, that they've started work. In late March Jonny Greenwood confirmed that the band are rehearsing and are working on new material in their [[Oxford]] studio, where they recorded their first album. "We're rehearsing at the moment, and again it's fun. We all want to push forward, and when you have five people who are all like that, you couldn't ask for a better thing." According to Jonny, the sessions will be interrupted only by his commitment with BBC.

In September 1998, American jazz pianist [[Brad Mehldau]] included his version of Radiohead's "Exit Music (For a Film)" on his album ''[[The Art Of The Trio, Vol. 3]]''. In August 2002 he released the album ''[[Largo (album)|Largo]]'' which featured Radiohead's "Paranoid Android". Both of these tracks are taken from ''OK Computer''. The ''[[Anything Goes (album)|Anything Goes]]'' album, released [[February]] 2004, includes a re-working of the track "Everything in its Right Place" from Radiohead's ''Kid A''. All three albums were released by [[Warner Brothers]].
