Formed by school friends in 1986, Radiohead did not release their first single until 1992. "Creep", from their debut album Pablo Honey (1993), was a cathartic hit that rode the wave of grunge to become a worldwide sensation. While initially branded as a one-hit wonder in the US, Radiohead caught on at home in the UK with a second album The Bends (1995), earning fans with their dense guitar atmospheres and frontman Thom Yorke's expressive singing. The band's third album OK Computer (1997) propelled them to greater attention, receiving deafening acclaim from rock critics for its expansive sound and themes of modern alienation. It is widely seen as a landmark recording of the 1990s. With Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001), Radiohead reached their peak global popularity even as their musical style became less conventional. The band's early post-punk and alternative idols like R.E.M., Pixies, The Smiths, Magazine and Joy Division were joined in the current decade with wider ranging influences such as Charles Mingus, Can, OutKast,Turenne, Martin.
