No Surprises: Radiohead’s 100 Best Songs
By Jim Beviglia
Radiohead have sold more than 30 million albums worldwide.
They burst onto the music scene in 1992 with their first record ‘Creep’.
Initially ‘Creep’ received mixed reactions, but with the release of their first album – Pablo Honey – the song was propelled to worldwide fame.
Their next two albums – ‘The Bends’ and ‘OK Computer’ – cemented their popularity in both the national and international market with ‘OK Computer’ hailed as one of the landmark albums of the 1990’s.
The turn of the century saw them hit a more experimental phase with ‘Kid A’s’ eclectic mix of jazz, electronica and krautrock making it one of the best albums of the decade.
From early classics such as ‘High and Dry’ and ‘Karma Police’ to mid-career highlights such as ‘Paranoid Android’, to the brilliant return to form on ‘Lotus Flower, Radiohead have received much critical acclaim.
