Thom Yorke and Co. keep pumping out more dreamy tunes
Radiohead is at the leading edge of what once used to be known as progressive rock - a band that meshes psychedelic sound experiments and avant-garde electronic textures with rock guitars and the occasional sing along chorus.
Paranoia and anxiety course through their sixth album, the recently released Hail to the Thief, but there's also a sense of universal longing with which anyone, especially any parent, can identify. In songs such as "Sail to the Moon," "I Will" and "Wolf at the Door," Tom Yorke sounds very much like a new father troubled by the sort of world he's bringing his child into. (read more)
Radiohead - Karma Police
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio
Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

Interview with Thom Yorke
by Brian Draper (licc.org.uk)
That consensus probably represents where we were at at one point, but it doesn't now. I think that what tends to happen, with the way the music business puts people across, is that initially everyone is really interested in representing what exactly they see you doing and after that they simply perpetuate it and that becomes the definitive%u2026 Like Bob Dylan - you know, there are certain elements of Dylan that are endlessly reproduced, even though most of them happened 40 years ago.

Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar, synthesizers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).
Radiohead released their first single, "Creep", in 1992. The song was initially unsuccessful, but it became a worldwide hit several months after the release of their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead's popularity 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 greater international fame. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer has often been acclaimed as a landmark record of the 1990s.
Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) marked an evolution in Radiohead's musical style, as the group incorporated experimental ele...

- I love Radiohead... saw them the first time as the lead in band for R.E.M. in Buffalo, NY on the Monster tour. I was thrilled that they were there, and it was funny because most of the crowd didn't seem to know who Radiohead was! Definitely at the top of my fav bands, along with R.E.M, of course.
