Here, we’ve compiled a list of the best Radiohead Quotes from famous authors such as Sid Sriram, Lauren Mayberry, Eliza Doolittle, Jim Root, Billy Corgan. Let’s look at these pieces of wisdom. We definitely have something to learn from them!
1
I listened to Kanye West and also dove deep into bands like Radiohead, Portishead, and Bon Iver.
2
If Radiohead made a video where Thom Yorke was featured more than the other members, nobody would say anything.
3
I love Radiohead, which most people don’t expect, and I listen to everything from Stevie Wonder to Steely Dan, Carole King, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, Beyonce Knowles, Vampire Weekend, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Burt Bacharach, and Paul Simon.
4
Don’t get me wrong – I’m still way into the metal, but I’ve been listening to different things like Radiohead, Portishead, Bjork, and Queens of the Stone Age.
5
Radiohead and Our Lady Peace are doing the seven layers of guitar, and I kind of jumped on that before anyone else did.
6
I really, really like ‘In Rainbows.’ But I also really like ‘OK Computer’ as a sort of flipside to that. ‘Reckoner’ is my favorite, just my favorite Radiohead song. That, ‘Idioteque,’ and ‘Pyramid Song’ are my top three.
7
Back in Kuwait, I had started listening to a lot of English language music: western music, I would say – Kate Bush and Radiohead – and I loved Chet Baker, Etna James, a lot of singers and a lot of bands.
8
Growing up, I listened to a lot of jazz and blues records – John Coltrane and Etta James. I was also really into Radiohead and the BeeGees.
9
What I appreciate about Radiohead’s work – and it’s most evident in ‘Hail to the Thief’ – is how the juxtaposition of narratives on the band’s albums somehow creates a sense of wholeness.
10
I hold music so close to my heart – to the point where I was always like, ‘Well, if it’s not Radiohead, I don’t want to do it!’
11
Everyone talks about how depressing Radiohead are. I don’t hear it. They’ve created their own universe and it is dimly lit, but it’s not inherently dark.
12
I am worried that young Japanese people are not very curious about the outside world – which is so different to the way we were in the Sixties and Seventies. All they want to listen to is Japanese pop. They haven’t even heard of Radiohead!
13
My mom and dad got divorced when I was, like, 8, and when I went to my dad’s house on the weekend, he’d play a lot of music: Miles Davis, Radiohead, Thom Yorke, Elton John.
14
I like many different kinds of music. My favourite band is Radiohead, and I’m also a giant Jeff Buckley fan.
15
I like to listen to African music; I like to listen to Brazilian music that’s not just Choro. I love to listen to Radiohead, I like to listen to James Brown – any music.
16
The Flaming Lips have been on Warner Bros. forever, and certainly everything I heard growing up was on a major label in some way, from the Cure to Radiohead to Bjork.
17
The Radiohead record, The Bends is my all-time favorite record on the planet.
18
But I was in the Radiohead studio today and Phil was there drumming and Thom was there playing. We feel like we’ve only just stopped and already people are wanting us to carry on.
19
I went to a Radiohead concert with Mr. Aaron Paul and became instantly hip. He’s a great tweeter and took a photograph of the two of us. He said, ‘Man, look at this! We’ve already got 800 hits in five minutes!’ So this old dog became hip.
20
The Beatles, even Radiohead, all of my favorite stuff I’d play on the piano. But it was all very secret – for me, for fun. I wasn’t going to record myself playing those songs, and it never occurred to me to write a song of my own.
21
I’m a huge stadium rock fan, but I’m also a fan of everything from Massive Attack to Peter Gabriel, U2, the Police, Radiohead, and Coldplay.
22
I’d want it to be really special to both of us, but I’m a huge fan of ‘At Last’ as a wedding song. But what’s also really cool is songs that no one else would have at their wedding, like an obscure Radiohead song.
23
I was always into things like Boyz II Men and boy bands, and then I got into Radiohead and alt-rock.
24
Nothing’s more exciting than a day in a studio with a string section – or more ruinously expensive. So it’s good to feed that habit away from the band, especially if it means more experience for the next Radiohead string day.
25
If it’s time to party, it’s time for hip hop. I love Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye. If I’m chilling at home though, I’m listening to Massive Attack, Thievery Corporation, Radiohead, DJ Shadow. I also listen to a lot of classical.
26
With our website we didn’t want people to come to our site and find out about Radiohead. We wanted them to come to our site and find out about what Radiohead are finding out about.
27
As I got older, I fell in love with Radiohead, and ‘OK Computer’ is one of my favorite albums of theirs. Sonically, the tone of the guitars on tracks like ‘Electioneering’ just rips right through me.
28
Radiohead showed a real affinity to being bold with visual imagery, so it came as no surprise when Jonny Greenwood did ‘There Will Be Blood.’
29
My favorite bands are Radiohead and Led Zeppelin, and all-time favorite album is ‘Amnesiac’ by Radiohead.
30
It feels like Radiohead are famous, but that no one knows who we are. Which is brilliant, really.
