Radiohead are one of those bands that are impossible to pin down. While many groups find themselves enjoying a shelf life of just a few albums before the telltale signs of staleness creep into their work, Oxford’s finest have defied age and categorisation across four separate decades of musical output.
Flitting across styles and genres can be an alienating experience for die-hard acolytes, but it’s a trick that, in Radiohead’s case, seems only to have won them more and more legions of passionate devotees. As a defining British artist adored both by the public and critics alike, few have come close to the success of such a constantly evolving creative force.
