Radiohead

Radiohead
Radiohead’s lead singer, Thom Yorke once said that they “constantly absorbed music”, and the overall (and continuing) discography of the band reflects that statement.  This isn’t a band that copies, but has always evolved adopting a myriad of genres so well that Radiohead is almost a genre in itself.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has always been influenced (and essentially created by) the music critics and that alone makes Radiohead an almost virtual lock for Cleveland as it is hard to find a band that has received more praise in the last twenty years.  It isn’t just the writers who love them as they have produced numerous hits and cracked the American market, which never hurts the cause to enter the Rock Hall. 

There really isn’t a question as to whether or not Radiohead will get into the Rock Hall.  They will.  The only question is whether or not they get in on the first ballot.

The Bullet Points

  • Previous Rank: 2017: #2
  • Eligible Since: Sunday, 01 January 2017
  • Country of Origin: United Kingdom (Oxford, England)
  • Why they will get in: Critical love and Radiohead are practically intertwined.
  • Why they won't get in: The only thing is that they are not American.  That shouldn’t matter.
  • Nominated in: 2018
  • Essential Albums: The Bends (1995)
    OK Computer (1997)
    Kid A (2000)
    Hail to the Thief (2003)
  • Our Five Favorite Songs as Chosen by Each Member of the NIHOF Committee: Creep (From Pablo Honey, 1993)
    Street Spirit (Fade Out) (From The Bends, 1995)
    Paranoid Android (From OK Computer, 1997)
    Knives Out (From Amnesiac, 2001)
    Go to Sleep (From Hail to the Thief, 2003)
