Radiohead : Hysterical and Useless

The distinctive combination of Thom Yorke's beautiful yet chilling vocals, richly textured guitars, and social consciousness has made Radiohead one of world's most successful and influential bands. Author Martin Clarke chronicles their history from the early days in Oxford to the slacker-friendly single "Creep" to their second, multi-platinum album "The Bends." This edition updates the story with in-depth accounts of innovative albums "Kid A, Amnesiac, " and "In Rainbows, " and the new world tour. "Radiohead: Hysterical and Useless" is a probing study of a band that is also a phenomenon, and of its charismatic leader.
