Radiohead

From: Abingdon, England

Active: 1992-present

I first heard them: when "Creep" made it onto the modern rock stations

Sound: the kind of band college classes get taught about; I know, because I know someone who taught one

Further listening: Here are two songs from the one Radiohead album I owned, plus a lo-fi cover version of "Creep" with a twist that some people have enjoyed.

"Exit Music" (1997)
"Paranoid Android" (1997)
"Creep" (the Adriffs, 2004)
