Radiohead
Radiohead are an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Phil Selway (drums, percussion, backing vocals), and brothers Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments) and Colin Greenwood (bass). They have worked with producer Nigel Godrich and cover artist Stanley Donwood since 1994. 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).
OK Computer
OK Computer is the third studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on 16 June 1997 on EMI subsidiaries Parlophone and Capitol Records. The members of Radiohead self-produced the album with Nigel Godrich, an arrangement they have used for their subsequent albums. Other than the song "Lucky", which was recorded in 1995, Radiohead recorded the album in Oxfordshire and Bath between 1996 and early 1997, mostly in the historic mansion St Catherine's Court. The band made a deliberate attempt to distance themselves from the guitar-oriented, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, "The Bends".
Thom Yorke
Thomas Edward Yorke (born 7 October 1968) is an English musician and composer best known as the singer and principal songwriter of the alternative rock band Radiohead. A multi-instrumentalist, Yorke mainly plays guitar and piano and works extensively with synthesisers, sequencers and programming. He is known for his falsetto vocals; in 2008, "Rolling Stone" ranked him the 66th greatest singer of all time. Yorke was born in 1968 in Northamptonshire. His family moved often before settling in Oxfordshire, where Yorke attended Abingdon School and formed Radiohead with his schoolmates. After he graduated from the University of Exeter, Radiohead signed to Parlophone; their early hit "Creep" made Yorke a celebrity, and Radiohead have gone on to achieve critical acclaim and sales of over 30 million albums.
Kid A
Kid A is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 2 October 2000 by Parlophone. After having suffered a mental breakdown promoting Radiohead's acclaimed 1997 album "OK Computer", songwriter Thom Yorke envisioned a radical change in direction. The band replaced their rock sound with synthesisers, drum machines, the ondes Martenot, string orchestras and brass instruments, and incorporated influences from electronic music, krautrock, jazz, and 20th-century classical music. They recorded "Kid A" with "OK Computer" producer Nigel Godrich in Paris, Copenhagen, Gloucestershire and their hometown Oxford, England.
In Rainbows
In Rainbows is the seventh studio album by English rock band Radiohead, self-released on 10 October 2007 as a pay-what-you-want download. It was followed by a physical release internationally by XL Recordings on 3 December 2007 and in the United States on 1 January 2008 by TBD Records. It was Radiohead's first release after their recording contract with EMI ended with their previous album "Hail to the Thief" (2003). Radiohead worked on "In Rainbows" for more than two years, beginning in early 2005. In mid-2006, after their initial recording sessions with new producer Spike Stent proved fruitless, the band toured Europe and North America performing "In Rainbows" material before re-enlisting their longtime producer Nigel Godrich.
Hail to the Thief
Hail to the Thief is the sixth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 9 June 2003 by Parlophone Records. It was produced by longtime Radiohead collaborator Nigel Godrich in Los Angeles. To avoid the protracted recording sessions of their previous albums, "Kid A" (2000) and "Amnesiac" (2001), Radiohead recorded "Hail to the Thief" quickly, focusing on recording live takes rather than overdubs. Songwriter Thom Yorke wrote many of the lyrics in response to the War on Terror and the resurgence of right-wing politics in the west at the turn of the millennium. Despite a high-profile internet leak ten weeks before release, "Hail to the Thief" debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and number three on the US "Billboard" 200 chart, and was certified platinum in the UK, US and Canada.
A Moon Shaped Pool
A Moon Shaped Pool is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released digitally on 8 May 2016. CD and LP releases followed in June 2016 through XL Recordings. Radiohead recorded "A Moon Shaped Pool" in southern France with longtime producer Nigel Godrich. It features strings and choral vocals arranged by Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra, and additional drumming from Clive Deamer, who performed with Radiohead on their 2012 "King of Limbs" tour. The artwork was created by singer Thom Yorke with longtime Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood, who created abstract works by leaving the canvases outside and allowing the weather to affect the paint.

Pablo Honey
Pablo Honey is the debut studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on 22 February 1993 by Parlophone Records in the United Kingdom and by Capitol Records in the United States. The album was produced by Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie, and was recorded at Chipping Norton Recording Studios and Courtyard Studio in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, England from September to November 1992.

This is sampled on the song "How Do You?" which is the third track on the album.

The Bends
The Bends is the second studio album by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on 13 March 1995 by Parlophone Records in the United Kingdom and by Capitol Records in the United States. The album was produced by John Leckie and engineered by Nigel Godrich, who would go on to co-produce all future albums by the band. It also marked the band's first full collaboration with graphic designer Stanley Donwood, who with Yorke experimented with snapshots taken from videocassette recordings, and the two would go on to produce all the band's subsequent artwork and visual imagery. "The Bends" marked the beginning of a shift in aesthetics and themes for the band, with greater use of keyboards and more abrasive guitar tracks, while balancing them with subtler ones.
Radiohead live performances
Radiohead, an alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, have had concerts and other live performances in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia and South America. The band's line-up has been constant since its founding, consisting of Thom Yorke (vocals and guitar), Jonny Greenwood (guitar), Ed O'Brien (guitar), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar), and Phil Selway (drums).

Creep (Radiohead song)
"Creep" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, released as their debut single in 1992; it appeared on their first album, "Pablo Honey" (1993). "Creep" was not initially a chart success, but became a worldwide hit after being rereleased in 1993. Radiohead grew tired of it in later years, and refused to perform it for a period. It is included in the "" compilation album. According to Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood, singer Thom Yorke wrote "Creep" while studying at Exeter University in the late 1980s. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood said that the song was inspired by a girl that Yorke had followed around and who unexpectedly attended a Radiohead performance.
Creep (TLC song)
"Creep" is a song recorded by American group TLC for their second studio album "CrazySexyCool" (1994). It was written and produced by Dallas Austin, who tried to write the track from his "female perspective" while basing on member Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins's real story of infidelity. The lyrics portray the singers as women that cheat back at their lovers for the attention. This context was considered to be controversial as it was strongly opposed by member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who even threatened to wear black tape over her mouth on its accompanying music video. Despite this, LaFace and Arista Records still released the song as the album's lead single on October 31, 1994, which subsequently granted critical acclaim and commercial success.
