The English rock band Radiohead was founded in 1986, when students of the closed school for boys in Abingdon Colin Greenwood, Thom York, Ed Obrien, Phil Selway and Johnny Greenwood united in the group “On a Friday”. By 1991, the band had gained some popularity, and at the end of that year, a six-album deal was signed with EMI. The band changed their name to Radiohead.
By the end of 1992, their debut album titled "Pablo Honey" was ready, and on February 22, 1993, it premiered, after which the band embarked on a long tour of the United States.
After its completion, Radiohead began recording their second album, The Bends, which was released in May 1995. The second album was much more successful than the debut, and one of his songs “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” has been the hallmark of the band for many years. During this period, many music critics found similarities with Nirvana.
In 1997, the band recorded the album “OK Computer”, recognized as a classic of rock music of the 90s and received a Grammy in the nomination “Album of the Year”. In October 2000, "Kid A" was released, an album that marked a change in the sound of "Radiohead", which began to use electronic music more.
The following two albums were recorded in a similar style: Amnesiac (2001) and Hail to the Thief (2002). After the release of these albums, the band began a creative vacation.
Work continued only in 2005, recording a new album "In Rainbows", which was presented in 2007. With this album, the band won the 2008 Ivor Novello Award for Best Album of the Year. /
