First TOTP studio appearance : "Creep", 16/9/93
Number of studio appearances : 5
Formed in Oxford by Thom Yorke (vocals/guitar), Jonny Greenwood (guitar), Colin Greenwood (bass), Ed O'Brien (guitar) and Phil Selway (drums), originally as 'On A Friday' but changed their name in 1991 to Radiohead (after the Talking Heads song "Radio Head").
I know it's always been 'cool' to like them, but I've never really 'got' Radiohead to be honest. The early singles were OK I suppose ("Anyone Can Play Guitar", "High & Dry" etc) but I never bought any of them and I couldn't get into the "OK Computer" or "Kid A" albums at all. They do their own thing though and always come back with something different so for that I applaud them.
) Creep's ok, the first album very patchy and not-much-cop.. The Bends is probably my favourite albums of theirs (it's attendant singles are all masterpieces - Just, High & Dry, Street Spirit & my fave Fake Plastic Trees) OK Computer not far behind (3 of the best singles/videos combinations of all time IMHO) and I've loved all the more experimental electronic stuff post-Kid A - I think it's cos everything they do they do with soul, so it never comes across as fake or unnecessarily clever, they aren't 'trying too hard' which is quite rare these days... and yes the solo album by Thom Yorke is also superb
