Enjoy.The English alternative rock band Radiohead have released nine studio albums, one live album, four compilation albums, one remix album, nine video albums, six EPs, 31 singles and 39 music videos. Still lots of craziness ("A Wolf At The Door", "We Suck Young Blood").īottomline, each and every single album has its own identity and its distinctive quality that is definitely worth discovering. Still in the same style as its two predecessors, yet more accessible, more "OK Computer"-references ("2+2=5", "Sail to the moon"). Rather difficult to access, it still brings out incredible songs like "Knives Out", "Pyramid Song" or "You and whose army after repeted listening".Īnd finally, "Hail To the Thief" (I left out the Live ep). In the same vain of "Kid A" only darker, more destructive. Another step away from classic Radiohead. Took me a few listens to discover gems like "How to disappear completely", "Optimistic" or "Idiotheque".Īmnesiac. Not as easily accessible as their previous offerings. Including such classics like the so-called "Alternative Music's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' "Paranoid Android", the incredibly dark yet beautiful "Exit music (for a film)" (the end titles music of "Romeo & Juliet") or "Karma Police". Their first big evolutionary step towards their current state of music. Basically, the same level of quality as "The Bends", the songwriting became more complex and experimental. Still more of a straight rock album (In Radiohead terms) IMO, it's a perfect album from beginning to end, including my favourite Radiohead song of all time: "Fake Plastic Trees". although 95% say "OK Computer", I always considered "The Bends" their masterpiece. So, since you've heard "Creep" already, check out their debut album "Pablo Honey", which already hints their geatness yet to come and also contains a few classics, like their breakthrough single "Creep", "Stop Whispering" or "Anyone Can Play Guitar". It's quite fascinating to find out where they came from initially (simple British indie rock/pop) and what they developed into (I guess, experimental post rock is an insignificant term I've heard somewhere ). regarding their musical evolution, I would start chronological.
Since this is a quite exceptional band, esp.
