Thus, Jonny became the band's musical expert. But he played in an orchestra when he was young, and he had a knowledge of classical and experimental music and jazz. Jonny had had to leave university after a few months to join Radiohead on a tour when they became popular. He was also the only member who had attended music school.

Jonny was the only member of the band who did not graduate from university. Jonny was also younger than any of the other members. Radiohead's lead guitarist was Jonny Greenwood, Colin's younger brother.

Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien played rhythm and auxiliary guitar Thom sang and Ed sang backup. The band's lineup was the same for The Bends. As a young man Leckie had assisted on Pink Floyd albums in the 1970s. The album was produced by John Leckie, a veteran at EMI's Abbey Road studios. Many said it was one of the best rock records in memory. It also got excellent reviews from music critics, unlike the band's first album. But the album became very popular in Radiohead's home of the UK. Songs from The Bends did not get played on the radio very much there. Radiohead was now a one-hit wonder to many people in America. None of these songs were as popular as 'Creep' around the world. The band released four more songs as singles: 'Fake Plastic Trees', 'High and Dry', 'Just' and 'Street Spirit '. The song 'My Iron Lung' was on it, along with 11 new ones. The album was going to released in late 1994 but was also delayed. Their second normal album, The Bends, came out in 1995. The 'iron lung' was a metaphor for such a 'life support'. They hated the way 'Creep' was the only Radiohead song anyone listened to at their concerts, yet it was all that was keeping them popular and afloat in the record industry. 'Creep' was popular, so they felt under pressure to make more similar songs. They felt they had no control over things. They were already disturbed by the workings of the music industry. But the band, especially Thom Yorke, were reluctant to be celebrities. The band was happy the song had been a hit, because otherwise they might not have been able to continue the band. The main song, 'My Iron Lung', was about the way fans had reacted to their song 'Creep'. This was called My Iron Lung, and contained the title single, and seven songs known as B-sides (because they were not on a full-length album). When Radiohead went on tour in the United States in early 1993, the music video for 'Creep' was being played a lot on MTV. 'Creep' was played on the radio at a lot of colleges around the world, however. They said that other Britpop bands, like Suede, were better. At the time, Radiohead's style of music was not very popular, and people said it sounded like Nirvana, but was not as good. The album did not become popular, but 'Creep' did, and the band got a lot of fans because of it. Initially, the album was going to be released also in late 1992 but was delayed. They released Pablo Honey in February 1993. They released their first single, 'Creep', late in 1992. It was called Pablo Honey and it was recorded in 1992 in a studio in Oxford. Radiohead started work on their first album. They released their first EP, called Drill, in May 1992. This name came from the song 'Radio Head' on the album True Stories by Talking Heads. On A Friday signed a contract with EMI, a large record label, in 1991. The band would usually rehearse on Friday in their school's music room. The band first called themselves 'On a Friday'. The members of the band went to school together at Abingdon School, a boys' school in Abingdon, Oxfordshire. They have created nine albums so far, the most recent being, ' A Moon Shaped Pool' (2016)

The band still performs live and attracts large crowds of fans to sold-out concerts, even though they play many different styles of music. In later years, the band began using other instruments too, and creating more electronic sounds. In their early years, Radiohead was known for their layered and heavy guitar sound. The band has five members, and three of them play guitar. Thom is known for his high voiced singing style and the band is known for their different style of rock music. The lead singer and lyrics writer of the band is Thom Yorke, who also plays guitar and piano. Radiohead are an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
