All of Radiohead’s albums, ranked from worst to best
WorldNone
Radiohead redefined alternative rock in the late 1990s, emerging as fearless leaders amidst the grunge and Britpop movements.
A fan reflects on the band's impact and ranks their albums from worst to best.
- At the risk of sounding like a painfully pretentious (amateur) musician, it’s almost indisputable that Radiohead single-handedly helped redefine alternative rock.
- The band announced an Australian tour (their first in 15 years) for May, and after neglecting them for a long time, this past week I have been down the rabbit hole being completely enamoured all over again at their insane evolution.
- This list promises to both outrage and satisfy fans, but won’t do either without explaining why.9.
Key Takeaways
- The band emerged in the late 1990s
- Radiohead helped redefine alternative rock
- Thom Yorke is a key figure in the band
- The author is a long-time fan of Radiohead
- The ranking is subjective, from the author's perspective
