Correction: At 2:08 - Though he has provided additional live drums on tracks like "There, There," Ed O'Brien is mainly one of Radiohead's guitarists. The person onscreen is their drummer Philip Selway, but the "November Rain" recollection is still from O'Brien.

I read once that when Thom Yorke was recording with Bjork, he cried while recording his vocals, and felt pleased with the results. Bjork, however, chastised him for being selfish in his performance, that the intention is to move your audience emotionally, not yourself.

yiiiiikes. i think the majority of people tune into or are more deeply impacted by an artist's authentic emotional expression because we're social, empathetic creatures. their story is relatable to us, so it's literally "moving" us as it puts us into a new frame of mind as we empathize with what the artist conveys. it seems like an important skill to strive for. 😬 i never could got into bjork since her music (especially her singing) always shakes me loose. maybe she could have learned something from him?

What's great about Radiohead is that even when you can see the "seams" (i.e., that many of Thom Yorke's seemingly-profound lyrics are obscure personal jokes, and that much of their music has a very direct and specific influence), the whole package is still wonderful. Even when they're trying to sound like the Pixies or Can or the Banshees, they still sound like Radiohead. Even though Thom Yorke finds the lyrics to "Fake Plastic Trees" funny, he imbues his vocals with such a profound level of emotion than even he breaks down crying.

Pyramid Song The strings, arranged by Jonny Greenwood, were recorded on 4 February 2000. They were performed by the Orchestra of St John's in Dorchester Abbey, a 12th-century church about five miles from Radiohead's studio in Oxfordshire. Greenwood instructed the players to swing in the style of jazz musicians. Pyramid Song notably uses an unusual rhythm and its time signature has the been subject of debate. According to Radiohead's drummer, Philip Selway, "Pyramid Song is in swung 4/4"; however, he said he "felt his way" through the drum part rather than count it. On the day of recording, Selway initially felt lost and that the session was going badly, but the drum part "fell into place" when he stopped trying to analyse the rhythm and instead responded to the inflections in Yorke's piano and vocals. Every member of Radiohead has been essential to their sound and progression.

Gosh....the Bends album. Still cuts deep. Must have listened to it day after day after day for months when I was about 21. I'd just moved to London on my own & I didn't have a friend in the world. That album was my friend. SUCH an important album for people like me

"There There" was the first Radiohead song I ever heard, and one of first (if not THE first) songs I taught myself to play on the drums. Imagine my joy when I learned guitar years later and figured out how to play it on that too!

Great video, but at around the 2:00 mark you say Ed O'Brien is the drummer. It's actually Philip Selway, Ed O'Brien is one of the guitarists.

Here is the complete story about the origin of name of the band: David Byrne was really into brazilian music and in 1985 Chico Buarque released a song called O Último Blues (The Last Blues) with these words: "To the sound of the last blues. On the Radio Head. If you can forget. The girl you seduce". Byrne loved the concept of a radio station playing inside someone's head and decided to write a song about it, Radio Head.

As a teenager stuck on MTV in the mid 90's, I never heard/saw "Creep", although other slacker anthems like ".... Teen Spirit" or "Loser" were overheard. My first encounter with Radiohead was "Paranoid Android" sometime in December 1998. And boy, that was something. That was my path and blessing to become a real fan.

I vaguely remember 'Creep', but I don't remember it being shoved at me like 'Teen Spirit' or 'Loser' - although sometimes in those days what you got an earful of boiled down to which hours you watched Mtv, which radio market you lived in, and whether or not you worked after school. What I DO vividly remember is 'Paranoid Android' and that video for it - because it was so long, and it was played so often, it seemed like every time I turned on Mtv I would catch it at _some_ point of it's runtime. I didn't _hate_ it, but it was losin it's charm by the end of it being in rotation there. And it's definitely, in _my_ memory, the entry point to Radiohead for a 17yr old in the late 90s.

They are probably one of the few bands where their B-sides are just as fantastic as the cuts that make the albums. And they are also one of the few bands where they have that long gestation period. Another example was what was originally called “Big Boots” but then finally “completed” as - of all fucking things - a B-side like bonus track for their 20th anniversary commemoration of OK Computer as “Man o’ War”. It was supposed to be their contribution to The Avengers (not the one people know now) and they even went to Abbey Road Studios to do it. Their attempt to record it was also documented in Meeting People Is Easy. And speaking of Meeting People Is Easy, it was for a long time the film where you could actually hear snippets from their “complete album discography” until The King of Limbs was released (which I actually like). So yes: not only could you hear selections from Pablo Honey, The Bends and OK Computer, but also Kid A, Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows.

I've always thought Nude took a decade to properly bloom into a finalised piece of material... Because it finally sounded like a story of release, from a shadow side that once had a stronger voice & influence on someone... The unperceived & inexperienced lure & trap of ourselves, to often be a enemy to ourselves... For not examining our thoughts of attraction towards others... or another when it happens to trigger in us. Nude is such a amazing song for putting into that context, even if Thom & Radiohead had no intention or idea for making it so... But it's so much like the shadow self of a mind... Lurking around for wanting a way back in of otherwise better wisdom achieved by questioning attractions... Before poisoning thoughts become often unwise for any of it getting under the skin... There is no worse feeling, & waisted energy for feelings & emotions... Than steering yourself in wrong directions for not checking yourself in... To what hooks u into triggers of attraction. Nude is the perfect wisdom & epic release of knowing better of it... of one's self imo??? "You'll paint yourself white, then fill up with noise... but there will be something missing? Now that u find it... u won't? Now that u feel it... u don't? You've gone off the rails... Who hasn't been there & done that for otherwise feeding more of an attraction to someone, that was bad for getting a bigger idea about... Than we ever should have done to begin with?

He do like bursting into tears dont he?

Johnny's remark about not borrowing from the Pixies any more because they've only got three albums to mine for inspiration makes me wonder if rock music in general fell out of popularity for the same reason. The best rock music was made in the first 20-odd years of it's existence, mid-50s to about the late 70s, when disco and punk got really big. Pretty much every rock band after that drew from those 20-odd years. By the time we got to the late 2000s, that era was far enough in the past that the then-twentysomethings making new pop music were too young to be nostalgic for that era, which is largely why synth pop had a big resurgence (that and rock music from the 80s was mostly terrible). 90s rock music has the opposite problem, IMO, it's so perfect (mostly cuz it was drawing inspiration from the best 60s and 70s rock music) that nobody would dare try to improve on it. There's only so much great rock music to imitate, eventually you have to do something else. Radiohead obviously figured that out.
