Radiohead Radiohead - whose singer, Thom Yorke, verbally
acknowledged the Pixies' influence on him after a riveting version of the
rarely played breakout hit, "Creep" - can now claim the greatest headlining
set in Coachella's brief history. The Oxford quintet closed both Saturday
night and its 2003-2004 tour with a set jam-packed with favorites, most
refreshed and manipulated in real time to give the band's performance a
sense of spontaneity. However, its more ardent and anthemic moments - such
as "Idioteque" and "Planet Telex"- were the most rapturously received.
