[G] All right, I swear you guys are gonna love this okay, it's so good.
It's so good.

Okay
May we begin?
Thanks in
1985 at a 750 year old boys school in Oxfordshire, England a band formed originally calling themselves on a Friday
Because that was a day they would usually practice
They would casually play gigs around town until the band members had to leave for college and the band went on hiatus
[D]
Their new label EMI insisted they pick a less terrible name than on a Friday
So they chose a title taken from a talking head song it was then that the greatest band of all time
radiohead was born
[C] [Db]
The [Eb]
title track was an immediate [C] flop because the citizens of the 90s were not ready for their brilliance [G] and the lyrics were kind of
a major downer
Radio hated it record buyers weren't buying it and even the band quote-unquote thought it was crap
They quickly moved on to promoting their next two singles
[E] Tom you are consistently complained about the stress of being in the public eye and was openly disdainful to the mainstream American audiences that made
the [N] band famous
[E] This was due to the band's profound hatred of the most popular style creep and the [G] general public's inability to tell the difference between them and Oasis
In 1995 the band released a relatively straightforward sophomore album the bends one of the greatest sophomore efforts ever made
This marked the first album-wide collaboration with production wizard Nigel Goddard
and producer and post-punk [C] hip-hop producer John Leckie
In 1997 radiohead released inarguably the greatest album of all time.
Okay computer [E] giving prog rock a turn of the millennium update
[G]
Okay computer came out just as the internet was starting to enter everyday life
The cryptic symbolism [D] scattered throughout the album art and lyrics synced up with the obsessiveness [F] that all-white fandom showed [Cm] even in its earliest days
Newly launched fan sites offered devotees forums to pick apart the album's puzzles and share theories about what it all meant
[E] After the huge success of Okay Computer the band had the freedom to do [Eb] pretty much whatever they wanted free from label meddling
As a result they produced the greatest album of all time Kid A
Signaling a shift to a more electronic based sound which is even more intelligent and less pop friendly than Okay Computer
It solidified the band's reputation as the world's most aesthetically challenging rock stars
They were ahead of the curve in using the artificial website to [D] interact directly with fans
Keeping a running online diary [G] during the recording sessions of Kid A and its sequel 2001's Amnesia
The greatest album of all time
By the time the group tackled the messed up state of world [E] politics on the more guitar heavy greatest album of all time Hail to the Thief
The band had abandoned their radical transparency and embraced an aggressively more cryptic approach
In [Ab] 2007 after leaving their label EMI they let fans pay what they wanted for the digital version of In Rainbows which would become one of their best reviewed albums
Because it's basically the greatest album of all time
The more dedicated of us scoured the record for hidden clues that connected it back to Okay Computer
And used fan sites to exchange theories and talk about how if Radiohead [G] were an ice cream flavor it would be every flavor mixed together
Four years later they pulled the greatest prank of all time by releasing King of Limbs digitally a [Ab] day early before its scheduled release date
Breaking new creative ground by sampling and looping their own recordings the album had a more noticeable emphasis on rhythm
The video for [G] the single Lotus Bar featured Tom Yorke's virtuosic [Abm] dance moves [G] that elevated the band to a [Gm] level of meaning that few will ever know
2016 saw Radiohead [N] shift into digital obscurity by deleting their entire social media presence
This led to the release of their 9th greatest album of all time A Moon Shaped Pool
This album represented a return to form with songs that dated back to as far as the mid 90's
Just in time to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Okay Computer with a new expanded reissue which will be selling in the hall after our presentation
Over the past two and a half decades Radiohead has defined itself through contradiction
Making increasingly difficult albums that seemed almost intentionally designed to make them less popular while still filling arenas full of fans with the intellect to [G] recognize the music's importance
And we think they're really really really really really really really good The end
They're right Radiohead is the greatest band of all time
Hello Paisley I'm Tom Yorke from Radiohead and I would love for you to join our band Cool yeah
