| | | | 1991 | Singer Thom Yorke returns from Exeter University and forms his new band. After a couple of name changes they settle on Radiohead. | | 1992 | The self-loathing single Creep strikes a chord among Britain's Nirvana-obsessed youth, paving the way for debut album Pablo Honey. | | 1993 | The single Creep goes huge in America and around the world. | | 1994 | The band reel as the country goes Oasis and Blur crazy. | | 1995 | New album The Bends draws comparisons with U2, but Radiohead remain on the fringes of global success | | 1996 | Concerts, but precious little new material from the band. | | 1997 | Radiohead go Super League as OK Computer is a jumbo hit on both sides of The Atlantic. A Glastonbury appearance sees the group at the peak of their powers. | | 1998 | Silence, as the band struggle for a fresh direction and Thom struggles with writer's block.. | | 1999 | With no new album forthcoming there are genuine concerns that the bubble may have burst. | | 2000 | The band bounce back with the intense and bizarre Kid A. It baffles some fans, but shoots to the top in the US. 2001 Radiohead reap the rewards of Kid A's success with a Grammy. | | 2001 | Amnesiac is released, an album from the Kid A sessions. Band comes home for South Park show. | | 2002 | New songs are previewed in Portugal, but largely the band takes a well earned break. | | 2003 | Plans for a new album of rock songs. |
