Abingdon, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom (1986 – present)
Radiohead is a rock group from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Their name comes from the Talking Heads’ song, 
Radio Head.
Formed by school friends in 1986, Radiohead did not release their first single until 1992’s “Drill EP”. The catharticCreep, from the debut album Pablo Honey (1993), became a worldwide hit as grunge music dominated radio airwaves. Radiohead were initially branded as a one-hit wonder abroad, but caught on at home in the United Kingdom with its second album, The Bends (1995), earning fans with their dense guitar atmospheres and front man Thom Yorke’s expressive singing. The album featured the hits “High and Dry”, “Just”, and “Fake Plastic Trees”. The band’s third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to greater attention. Popular both for its expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, the album has been acclaimed by critics as a landmark record of the 1990s, some critics go as far to consider it one of the best of all time. The album featured the popular singles “Paranoid Android”, “Karma Police”, and “No Surprises”.
Radiohead’s original influences were cited as alternative rock and post-punk bands like The Smiths, Pixies, R.E.M. (Thom Yorke, singer of the band, refers to himself as an R.E.M. groupie), Magazine and Joy Division.

What do you guys think are the best Radiohead songs? They are incredibly popular here, so I've listened to some of their top tracks but didn't really like them, are there any other, better, underrated treasures I could try?
