     RADIOHEAD made our life's more beautifull some years ago with the release of the amazing "CREEP" that all of you have listened.Many people believed that RADIOHEAD were the "one hit group".But after the release of their second LP "To The Bends" RADIOHEAD proved their not.
     The final hit came with the release of the best album i've heard "OK COMPUTER" which places them to the top of the British rock scene and in the top places of the world modern rock scene.

Well,all started at school when Thom and Colin Green wood were playing together in a band called TNT.This band was a punk band and it was
completely unknown.Thom then asked Colin to join him in a new band with
Ed O'Brien.Then they asked Phil Selway a friend of them from the Abingdom
public School to become the drummer of the band.Then,Colin's brother,Jonny
wanted in to,so he became the third member of the band that took the name,
On A Friday. 
   The debut of the band was at Jericho's Tavern in their hometown Oxford,
in 1987.They made their first demo tape 4 years later and they took it
through a schoolmate of them to Courtyard Studios.The studio owners,Bryche
adge and Chris Hufford didn't really liked it except for the 15th track
which was totally different from all the others.It was a looped dance
track.The Courtyard Studios asked them to bring something else.6 months
later they brought to them another tape.The second one was far better and
the Studios loved it.
  Then another tape named "The Manic Hedgehog Demo" made them more famous
as they became a cover on a magazine based in Oxford.Many big record
labels got interested to sign the band but finally EMI did it.
   later on after a live show they got their first review made by John
Harris.The reviewer wasn't totally impressed but his review was positive.
He said "Musically they were all over the place. They started with
something Rickenbackery that sounded like All Mod Cons-Period Jam, then
tey'd flip it with something that sounded like the Pixies".After that they
decided to change their band's name as the previous one was at best,mundane.
They decideed to swap it for the title of a cod-reggea tune on
Talking Heads True Stories album, Radio Head. 
   Their first managers were Hufford and Edge but their relationship with
the band could be better.The bands first release was an EP producad by them.
The first move by their managers wasn't very clever as they admited later.
The 4-track Drill EP came out in March 1992 with the track "Prove Yourself"
as the lead one.It reached 101 in the UK singles Chart but the band was not
very satisfied and they decided that it was time to find new producers.
The new producers were Paul Q. Kolderie and Sea Slade and they hired in
order to produce the two songs for the next single.But neither the band
or the producers were happy about the songs that Parlophone had chosen.
   But later(September 1992)they released their best song ever,"CREEP".
The band scheduled their debut album "Pablo Honey" for the next year after
the release of Creep.Creep as a single get it to number 78 in the UK charts
   Meanwhile unbeknown to the band, a radio station in San Fransisco,
"Live 105" had just named Creep its favourite record of the year and
quickly crossed over onto L.A.'s KROQ and other Westcoast stations.
The single eventually peaked at a modest 34 in the US, but Pablo Honey
went gold. Exactly a year after it's original release, a reissued Creep
finally hut the UK charts, peaking at number 7. Because the album kept on
breaking around the world, the Pablo Honey Tour lumbered into its second
year.
   The tension lingered into the recording of the second album, produced
by John Leckie. The edifice marked "follow-up to Creep" cast a long
shadow over the sessions. "It was either going to be Sulk, The Bends,
Nice Dream or Just," Leckie remembers. "We had to give those absolute
attention, make the amazing, instant smash hits number 1 in America.
     The solution was a change of scenery. Radiohead quit the studio
and toured Australasia and the Far East. "It made them re-evaluate hat
they were good at and enjoyed doing," claimed Hufford."Playing live again
put the perspective back on what they'd lost in the studio.
" Having worked the songs in on the road, they returned to Britain and
completed the album in a fortnight.Releases while the The Bends was
still being completed, the first single from the album, My Iron Lung
(taken from a live show recorded at London's Astoria), peaked at a
disappointing 23. It wouldn't be intil the fifth single from the album,
Street Spirit,18 months later, that Radiohead would hit the top 10 again.
      Recorded over a year, OK Computer became another extended struggle
to perfect their methods of working. They liked the simple way they'd
recorded Black Star (on the Bends) and Lucky (for the Bosnian charity
album HELP) with engineer Nigel Godrich and asked him to build and
man a mobile studio for them. Work began at the Fruit Farm, a converted
apple storeb the band use as rehearsal space, the moved on to Jane
Seymour's Elizabethan mansion outside Bath.
    Having learnt from the Bends, they decided to break the songs in live
before completing the record. Between the release of the Bends in march
1995 and the completion of OK Computer early 1997,Radiohead toured America
no less than five times. Radiohead's new material was premiered on a
13-date American tour supporting Alanis Morissette. OK Computer was
 released in June 1997.Their 3rd album became platinum in several countries.
Many magazines named it album of the year 1997.From OK COMPUTER,they
released as singles,"Paranoid Android","Karma Police" and "No Surprises".
    They continue making tours all over the world,including Australia and
US.I hope that we'll listen from them really soon.But don't forget one thing
that Radiohead teached me."We are standing on the edge....."

       After their succesfull tour,Radiohead are back in the studio recording their
next album.Nobody knows a thing about it yet cause they've been recording it
for less than a month.Their last album "Ok Computer" took them almost 2 years
to record it so i don't think that we'll see anything new from them soon.Propably
next year (2000).But i'm sure that it is going to wirth the wait.
