Radiohead, Ok.

Radiohead is a band from England, born specifically in Oxford. It is composed of five members, Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Phil Sellway and Ed O'Brien. The band has over twenty years experience and seven studio albums. They have won several awards and have become well known, but their inner lives remain outside the public domain. His first two albums (Pablo Honey, The Bends), show the youth of their experiences (both existential and musical), being remembered for the strength of his guitars and violence of the lyrics. From OK Computer, the band's music takes a turn and combines rock with electronics. This third album makes known worldwide and to the surprise of the public, this seems to piss them off. After this, the band goes through bad times, the singer (Thom Yorke) stops writing songs for a while and stop producing songs. After this bad weather, released Kid A, their fourth album, more experimental work of the group. With electronic sounds, guitars and melancholy lyrics chaotic, they try to get away from fame and focus on a small group of fans. Amnesiac published soon, where band consolidated its reputation for quality. Hail to the Thief, the sixth album, attempts to recover ancient sounds whilst still experimental sounds, unusual instruments and the lyrics of a political nature. In Rainbows is the band's latest album is divided into two parts, which could be downloaded from the internet (even free). At this point no one disputes the quality of the songs, or poetry. Radiohead has shown that their intentions are not to be known, or sell many records, but focus on making good music.
