Synopsis Formed near the university town of Oxford in 1991, Radiohead quickly caught the attention of London record labels. Its first album, PABLO HONEY, yielded the fortuitous hit "Creep," which pigeonholed the band as British grunge rockers, a label it forcefully rejected with the release of its next album, THE BENDS. Author Tim Footman is not only an experienced music writer, having penned books on artists as dissimilar as Blink 182, Aaliyah, and Limp Bizkit, but has the additional qualification of having attended Exeter University with Radiohead singer Thom Yorke. His illustrated history, RADIOHEAD: A VISUAL DOCUMENTARY, traces the band's slow climb to fame and artistic respect with a wealth of rare color and black-and-white photographs, perceptive commentary, and revealing anecdotes. The Radiohead story, like the band, is an unusual one; the success of "Creep" was almost its downfall, as were grueling American tours and the jibes of the British music press. However, its members' collective imagination and musical skills overcame what at one point seemed almost insurmountable drawbacks, and the group emerged as one of the preeminent forces in modern rock. A cornucopia of Radiohead-related information, A VISUAL DOCUMENTARY is an invaluable resource for longtime fans and neophytes alike.
