Your voice slowly started to sound like the fitter happier bot

Radiohead is still the sound of the future.

It astonishes me how much Radiohead have evolved since the Pablo Honey days

The pink Floyd of our time.

I'm from China, being a fan of Radiohead for over 20 years. In 1998, I was one day at a friend's house, when I about to leave, he gave me this album called "Ok computer". He said: 'throw it away or take it away, just keep it from my sight.' I got curious and had to listen to it. After the first time I listened to the whole album. I felt lost, depressed and something like seasickness. I decided to throw it away as my friend told me to. Before I do that I was caught up in something so I just left it on my desk. However, for the rest of that week, this music just stuck in my head. So I listened again. and again, and again...before I knew it I got obsessed with it and radiohead became my favorite band of all time. To see a live show of them is on top of my bucket list.

2+2=5 is from George Orwells's book 1984. It has massive significance.

Radiohead is such an inspiring band, they seem to not care about what anyone thinks of them and make some of the most technically perfect music ever made with such a great meaning and such a great understanding of the art form music is

I don't think the guy who's talking in the vid actually knows how much The Bends is important, critically acclaimed and highly regarded.

Interesting how Radiohead absolutely destroys their own influences.

Gotta love Radiohead.

Let's hope they have many more records in them.

IMO the greatest band of all time.

Radiohead albums are always ahead of their time. To explain why, I developed what I call the “Radiohead conjecture”. I buy the album and listen to it once, and invariably I’m not sure how to process it. A year later, I listen again, and invariably find it to be a timeless masterpiece.

Their next album oughtta be titled "On A Friday"!!

Radiohead: creativity, not afraid to venture to uncharted ground, and be great.

In Rainbows is their best album! Change my mind.

In Rainbows pulled me out of the deep rut known as "listening to nothing else but prog rock/metal". God bless 'em.

During an interview in 1996 Thom Yorke was asked about his thoughts on the 1995 movie Clueless’s take on Radiohead, saying it was for crybabies. Yorke responded with saying that the character that says the line is one of many 2 dimensional characters, and the character that was listening to the song(fake plastic trees) is one of the few 3D characters. Afterwards he says “So the answer is: F*ck you! We’re for 3D people!”.

My dad was one of the 6 people at Radiohead’s first gig

Awesome video! Long live Radiohead, one of the greatest bands of all time, we are really fortunate to be alive in an era when they release music

How can you mention High and Dry but not Street Spirit, My Iron Lung or Just?? Heresy.

Their music, especially Kid A and Amnesiac helped me a lot with my depression.

The five didn't know each other that well... (He really said that after saying that two members are brothers)

Really got into them lately, can't wait for all the great songs I'll discover!

living in oxfordshire (near abingdon) is great, i've had like 3 encounters with Thom Yorke

Radiohead saved me. Thank you..

Johhny didn't like the song and the other members told him that he will be playing on these parts. Because johhny didnt like the song he wanted to destroy the song by playing this riffs. But the band liked it and they kept it

You don't see many great bands without controversy, arguments between members, drug use, or tragic ends to the musicians. I love to see that Radiohead is the expection to this.

Hey nice work on this video! Super simple and really easy to follow. Definitely one of the better Radiohead introduction videos!

The way he pronounces Abingdon "Abington" makes me cry

Really great job man. Thanks for making this. Would love to see a similar brief history of Ween!

Just will always be my favourite radiohead song, I really love the riff that builds throughout, it's a shame not so many people like it

Very nicely done. Great "just the facts, ma'am" style and pace with just enough inserts to keep it interesting. I'm afraid most of us don't realize just how hard it is to pull this off!

This is a great journalist piece, and the ending is truly accurate! Well put... Thanks for this great work.

ive been watching your history channel since the alaska roadtrip(i googled KC to alaska once feeling adventurous and wanting to know if anyone ever made the drive and your video came up) and I remember thinking to myself "wow this guy has a great taste in music" today I just discovered this music channel.. and notice the first video is over my favorite band ever.. Great taste Mr. Beat! keep up the great content

This is wrong. I was a roadie for "On A Friday" when they played a gig in Bristol University in 1989 as a friend of Phil. The band was bigger then: 2 x sax + 1 x sax/multi instrument. Their best song then was "Rio".

Is that a symphonic version of I Promise in the background?

Great piece of info mate on Radiohead. Loved it. I am now more enlightened. I only had a few albums but might get some more now. Thanks for taking the time to do that piece. All the best . Paul Bedworth uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

My mom always plays this band (along with like, Pixies) and I have grown a very big liking to them. Their music is strange and different I really enjoy it. Favorite album is maybe the king of limbs or ok computer

Funk everyone! In Rainbows is easily their best album so far.

The Bends, OK Computer and Kid A are albums I can listen to frequently. The Bends especially is a more traditional recording, and I love it. OK Computer blew my mind when it was first released, and still continues to do so. Kid A was a slow burn for me - like the guy said, I didn't know what to make of it initially, wanting as I did "More OK Computer". Slowly the tracks wormed their way into my mind, and it kind of infected me, and now I love it, especially Idioteque, Kid A, How To Disappear Completely, and In Limbo. Their follow ups since have been albums I enjoy and respect, but I have to be in a certain frame of mind to listen to them, and are not really very easy listening experiences. That's part of what makes them so good, that they are dense and complex.

did NOT expect to see a video made by mr beat years ago about the history of Radiohead. absolutely love it, you have good tastes

Tool, Beck and Radiohead are pretty much musical perfection for me. Everything they do is outstanding.

I've seen this video before and only just joined the dots that you're Mr. Beat! It's nice to know that such a great educational youtuber also has great taste in music.

Great brief history man, I enjoy every video you make hope you resume making videos in the future.

I was like, "Is Mr. Beat doing bands now?!" Glad I stumbled upon your music channel!

Whoooooaaaaaaa Mr. Beat does music too??? words can’t explain how awesome of a band Radiohead is. They took the spot as my #1 band. I love that every album is unique but always Radiohead they never lost who they were, they only grew, it should also be noted how relevant their music is in 2021. Right now I have ‘Amnesiac and ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ on repeat, I’m also really enjoying Thom Yorkes solo work, the ‘Suspiria’ soundtrack is 10/10 genius. Highest praise to this band for the marvelous work they’ve put out. Their ability to make you feel textures, their ability to make you feel different emotions is breathtaking. I love that I can listen to Radiohead whether I’m waking up or going to sleep, whether I’m happy or sad, or whether I’m feeling rock one day and electronic the next, they do it all.

Mr Beat knows his stuff. Great work...keep them coming!!!

Thanks so much for the synopsis. Saw them 3 times. Kid A, Amnesiac, and Hail to the Thief

Decks Dark is one of their underrated songs

"That's right! Radiohead's popularity caused them to transcend the laws of mathematics." I'm trying not to wake up my dad but this was funny and I Iaughed very loud.

I can't describe how much I love this band. eversince I stared getting into music I would always listen to them they changed my life. The ranking would go IMO 1. Kid A 2. Ok Computer 3. In Rainbows 4. A Moon Shaped Pool 5. Hail To The Thief 6. The Bends 7. The King of Limbs 8. Pablo Honey 9. Amnesiac

The Bends is AWESOME!!!

Criminally underrated channel! learned a lot from this video.

Dang. Thank you. Very informative and well done.

Found you on indieheads, this is awesome dude! Can't wait for more stuff

The fact a gem like in rainbows was free, is simply marvelous

So much respect for this band...thank you so much .

The beat goes on? The beat goes round and round!

I really hope they all live for ever

Have you heard Thom on PJ Harvey's 'this mess we're in'? Amazing track!

Bravo, Matt Beat! I agree. Radiohead, though anomalous, fits alongside the classic greats (Beatles/Floyd/Zep) and alt.rock greats of the 80s & 90s and even supersedes them as the point of critically acclaimed rock. There is never a commercial compromise with these guys and they always keep you guessing, questioning and opening your mind. I hear the influence in bands of today like Muse

Amnesiac wasn't the "leftovers" of the Kid A sessions. The were just both written and recorded at the same time. Like you said, they took a long break after OK Computer so they came back with a ton of material. Enough for two albums. The narrative that Amnesiac is some B-side compilation of Kid A is so tired and wrong.

What a unique, amazing band. Lot of times I try to explain Radiohead to myself and I can't. I became a fan cause I kept hearing nothing but insane praise of them. At first I had to really listen, listen and get in a whole music mode. I was so glad I did because I really was spending so much time on my phone, playing video games and just went back to the old school way where I would have headphones on most of my free time and some of my busy time. I just see such a solid group of fans, just watching Reddit posts and watching new fans start to really get the band. There is not even a band in the same atmosphere as Radiohead. By that I don't mean they are so much better, but they just are so unique and they just stay consistent and just are always fresh. Just imagine a bottle of milk in your fridge, every time you drink it or use it, you go back and the bottle is super fresh, new expiration date, and full to the top. That is them.

i attended their first show in toronto after the stage collapse and the only time thom spoke throughout the entire show was towards the end and it was to address what happened and how terrible canadas justice system is. ( im canadian and i agree with him)

A band that stays relevant for 50years

Great job. Loved The Bends, liked OK Computer then life got in the way after that.

Some of your video was... a bit odd. But the ending lines really pulled it together :). Thanks for the good work!

Just saw the boys in Pittsburgh last night, and they’re definitely still at the top of their game!

gotta love the i promise instrumental in the background

I remember listening to "creep" for the first time in an alternative music club in West Palm Beach-FL. I loved it immediately. I bought Ok Computer right away after it came out. I listened and listened to that record over and over. Before Ok Computer became the record of the year, I already knew it was fantastic. Incredibly they are still making great music. I hope that they will be around for a long long time.

Pink floyd?!

hands down my favorite band ever.

Wow what a fantastic short documentary. I thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to watching more of your videos!

Radiohead is of extreme importance to me. Its my migrane music. I need their music to function. Whenever i have migranes (about 2-3 times a week) i need to listen to Radiohead, Esbjörn Svenson Trio or Lars Daniellson. Thanks for keeping me sane!

Very cool and very informative!🤘

Glad it was mentioned, as Pixies were a HUGE influence on them. Jonny Greenwood is on record saying that the reason they went away from the guitar for Kid A and Amnesiac was because “Pixies only have so many songs, you can only copy them for so long”

Greatest band of all time.

radiohead's been real quiet since this dropped :(

I'm from a town nearby Abingdon but radiohead is one of my favourite bands ever

Thus is excellent. Thanks for pisting.

I like how I promise is playing in the background at the start

Never thought I'd hear Mr beat talk about Radiohead

This is so good. They need to make a radiohead film.

Every week I tune into the BBC's 'In Rainbows' live session from the Basement.

This song Blew me away.....I loved it. 💞

I learned about Radiohead from South Park. Im very glad. They are awesome!

Creative expression molded into an experience that can be led on for many generations of lovers, fighters, family, and friends.

Many don't know this, but Radiohead's first gig overseas was in Tel Aviv. In a place called Roxane.

Me: You're Thom Yorke! Thom Yorke: I am who I am Me: My dad loves your shit Also Me: *Vomits and cries from emotional pain and alcoholism*

Show de bola, excelente video The Beat Goes On! 03:25:51

Such a great band. Quite original.

What ?! 794 subs ? Great material :)

One of my fav channels bc of this series can’t wait for him to do Alice In Chains

Did not expect Mr.Beat to be narrating this video when I clicked lmao

Omg I didnt know Mr.Beat had a music channel yet it makes way more sense than the history one

Great evidence of what longevity and perseverance can do. People are so impatient nowadays. ESPECIALLY musicians.

Very good video.

Fucking amazing band! Probably the best band of the past 50 years

i wish there was more mention of their collaborative relationship with Paul Thomas Anderson, and just their impact on film music in general, just last year Thom Yorke scored the remake of Suspiria and Johnny Greenwood has scored 4 PTA films. Thats's not even mentioning the fact that PTA directed the video for daydreaming or the absolutely astounding short film he made with Yorke for his latest album, 'Anima' but, i guess i'm just too much of a film geek.
