      Radiohead was an English rock band that was formed in UK. The band consists of five members who are Tom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Colin Greenwood, and Philip Selway. Personally, I only know Radiohead for one of their most well-known songs, Creep. Radiohead released Creep in 1992 as their debut single and it blew up worldwide. I thought this band was a one-hit-wonder kind of band but turns out they released a couple of other albums and grew a fanbase locally and internationally.
      In 1993 Radiohead released their debut album titled Pablo Honey. The only song from this album that grew some popularity was Creep. My Iron Lung and The Bands were two other albums that were shortly released from Radiohead. "High and Dry," "Just" and "Fake Plastic Trees" were three songs that successfully made their way to the charts.
      The group did some touring around North America and Europe. In 1997 Radiohead released their third album titled OK Computer and helped the band gain some recognition from Rolling Stone magazine.  This album was Radiohead's first number one UK chart debut and brought the band some international success earning Grammys and some other awards.
     Radiohead continued to work hard and release new music and some may even argue they brought a new sound to their albums which won them more awards. By 2012, Radiohead gained more success as they worked on more music, movies, and some side gigs. Radiohead is very much so successful to this day. The band was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017, again in 2018 and again in 2019. Radiohead took a minute to gain their popularity but overtime got the recognition they've been longing for and deserve.
