An english alternative rock band that formed in Oxfordshire in 1985 by the name of 'On a Friday'.
Achieved a world wide smash hit single 'Creep' in 1992, but came to detest being recognized a as one hit wonder band. So the members decided to explore new ground with each subsequent and diverse album, dipping their musical toes in Jazz, Electronica, Avant-Garde, Space and Art rock.
By 2007 they had released their seventh studio album over the internet, but with a catch... buyers could purchase the album for whatever price they wanted. Even for nothing.
Radiohead have developed a massive fan base over the years and have been regarded critically by many as one of the greatest bands alive today, having been chosen by the Rolling Stone magazine as one of the greatest artists of all time.
But on a separate note, anyone who cites Radiohead as 'boring' or 'pretentious', HAS CLEARLY NEVER BLOODY LISTENED TO 'KID A' IN THEIR LIFE!!!!!!!
"Oi mate, this Radiohead stuff is naff!"

"Good lord, I'm sorry I ever doubted you! This album is AMAZING!"

"Cool, and then, like... a giant fish, just like, comes up and swallows him, man."
"AWWWWH, far out man!"
"And he could then, like, chill in the fish for a few days, before it like... spits him back out, you know?"
