Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar), Ed O'Brien (guitar, vocals), Jonny Greenwood (guitar), Colin Greenwood (bass) and Phil Selway (drums) formed Radiohead at Oxford University in 1988. Radiohead was originally called "On a Friday." They changed their name and released their first EP in 1992 called "Drill." This EP helped them get a record deal with EMI and release their first hit single "Creep." A year later they came out with their first full length album, "Pablo Honey." The album went gold after extensive touring in the U.S. and heavy air play of the single "Creep." In 1995 Radiohead came out with their second album, "The Bends," which received rave reviews. However, the record was ignored by the mainstream media and received little television or radio play. In '97 Radiohead release their third album, "OK Computer," a musical masterpiece. Despite critical acclaim it still only achieved moderate sales. It wasn't until "Kid A", their fourth album, was released in 2000 did they achieve great sales. The album debuted at number one on the U.S. charts and met mixed critical reviews. "Amnesiac" was released a year later and debuted at number two on the U.S. charts. This album was made up of tracks from the same sessions as "Kid A." They release "I Might Be Wrong" later that year as a mini live album.
