Huge thanks to Ricky for singing here, saved the vid! My voice is too girthy for a Thom impression and my falsetto "sounds like Mrs Doubtfire" (my gf's words). Check his music out, it's like a mix of Radiohead and Gorillaz, links in description. Been a while since I've made one of these and Radiohead's popped up in the comments a few times. My fav song of theirs is probably "Blow Out." Their cover of New Order's "Ceremony" is mad too. Anyway, enjoy and hope you get ideas for your own music.

ah yes, Radiohead quite famously copied Muse before Muse had even released anything.

[@jackmiller1209]

These videos are so rich in sound/music techniques and a great sense of humor. I really learn a lot from these. And get perfect tips for recreating a band’s certain sound. My fave radiohead song is “Been thinking about you”.

[@likanihoshi]

There's a reason why Thom Yorke is still being petty about Muse "stealing everything from Radiohead" even though they went completely different musical route years and years ago. I'm a fan of both and honestly Muse first album has some songs that could pass as Radiohead's. Not anymore, but Tom Yorke just can't let it go 😂

Well this is a great start to Saturday!

[@cullenmott7614]

Cooked again! :) "High And Dry" (a song that the band is embarrassed by) is one that has been good to me with time. It's the kindest and warmest song in their towering discography, with a deep-felt lyric to a self-destructive friend (who is, I think, a professional stunt performer), a classic 90's climax, and a satisfying almost-healing resolution. Quite a bit out of character for the band. I haven't really listened to Radiohead in a few years. But that song is the one I now remember most fondly.

[@willb6913]

Subterranean Homesick Alien is one of my favorites. Great stuff as usual.

[@DesmondDoom]

Yeah, all of OK Computer except "Let Down" is great (the intro to "Let Down" is kinda cool I admit)

Love the shirt! Also we need a full version, I love Radiohead and am eating up anything related to Radiohead because it's been 8 years since their last album Edit: also my favourite Radiohead song is either 2+2=5, My Iron Lung, Bullet Proof, Paranoid Android, Jigsaw Falling Into Place or House of Cards. Or Exit Music for a Film. Or basically any song from The Bends, Ok Computer or In Rainbows

[@MuckerCarlson]

Dude you’re out of control. Could watch these for hours. Incredible work.

[@MarcosElMalo2]

Another great shirt, another video that nails it. “It” being the basics of Radiohead. I think there are a few finer point complications involved that could be part of a “advanced how to video” where you introduce how Radiohead uses textures and more polyrhythms and harder-to-predict chord resolutions in a “typical” Radiohead song. Also they write some great hooks and that’s harder to teach. You could do that. Or not. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m still patiently waiting for you to announce your North America Tour. 😊
