Radiohead

A British rock group from Oxfordshire. The group was founded in 1985, and its lineup has not changed since that time. Radiohead's style is traditionally defined as alternative rock, although at different stages the sound has varied from Britpop to art rock and electronic music. The debut single "Creep" was released in 1992 and initially went unnoticed, but became a hit after the release of the album Pablo Honey (1993). The Bends (1995) made Radiohead popular in Great Britain, and the third album, OK Computer (1997), dedicated to alienation in society, brought Radiohead international success and is considered one of the most significant rock albums of the 1990s. In 2000 and 2001, the musicians recorded two experimental albums, Kid A and Amnesiac. After the release of Hail to the Thief, Radiohead's contract with the major label EMI expired, and the next album, In Rainbows, was posted by the musicians for free download on the Internet. Radiohead exerted a great influence on modern rock music. All albums from OK Computer to A Moon Shaped Pool were nominated for a Grammy award for "Best Alternative Album" (Radiohead won in this category three times).
