I'm from China, being a fan of Radiohead for over 20 years. In 1998, I was one day at a friend's house, when I about to leave, he gave me this album called "Ok computer". He said: 'throw it away or take it away, just keep it from my sight.' I got curious and had to listen to it. After the first time I listened to the whole album. I felt lost, depressed and something like seasickness. I decided to throw it away as my friend told me to. Before I do that I was caught up in something so I just left it on my desk. However, for the rest of that week, this music just stuck in my head. So I listened again. and again, and again...before I knew it I got obsessed with it and radiohead became my favorite band of all time. To see a live show of them is on top of my bucket list.

Radiohead is still the sound of the future.

It astonishes me how much Radiohead have evolved since the Pablo Honey days

Radiohead is such an inspiring band, they seem to not care about what anyone thinks of them and make some of the most technically perfect music ever made with such a great meaning and such a great understanding of the art form music is

2+2=5 is from George Orwells's book 1984. It has massive significance.

Radiohead albums are always ahead of their time. To explain why, I developed what I call the “Radiohead conjecture”. I buy the album and listen to it once, and invariably I’m not sure how to process it. A year later, I listen again, and invariably find it to be a timeless masterpiece.

I don't think the guy who's talking in the vid actually knows how much The Bends is important, critically acclaimed and highly regarded.

Interesting how Radiohead absolutely destroys their own influences.

[Maynard]

In Rainbows pulled me out of the deep rut known as "listening to nothing else but prog rock/metal". God bless 'em.

How can you mention High and Dry but not Street Spirit, My Iron Lung or Just?? Heresy.

Awesome video! Long live Radiohead, one of the greatest bands of all time, we are really fortunate to be alive in an era when they release music

[MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Let's hope they have many more records in them.

My dad was one of the 6 people at Radiohead’s first gig

Their music, especially Kid A and Amnesiac helped me a lot with my depression.

Their next album oughtta be titled "On A Friday"!!

You don't see many great bands without controversy, arguments between members, drug use, or tragic ends to the musicians. I love to see that Radiohead is the expection to this.

Hey nice work on this video! Super simple and really easy to follow. Definitely one of the better Radiohead introduction videos!

[syrupcore]

Very nicely done. Great "just the facts, ma'am" style and pace with just enough inserts to keep it interesting. I'm afraid most of us don't realize just how hard it is to pull this off!

Radiohead: creativity, not afraid to venture to uncharted ground, and be great.
