Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (guitars, keyboards, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitars, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass, synthesisers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). The band was particularly popular in the 90s with Pablo Honey, The Bends, Ok Computer, and with songs such as Creep (Pablo Honey), Just (The Bends), Fake Plastic Trees (The Bends), My Iron Lung (The Bends), Paranoid Android (OK Computer), Karma Police (OK Computer) and No Surprises (OK Computer).

Some critics often cite Muse as Radiohead's sound-alikes. Some similarities may include the similar singing style and vocal range of Matt Bellamy and Thom Yorke, and the progressive rock influences in both bands' music.

Dom mentioned Radiohead as one of his five favorite bands in July 1999 http://www.microcuts.net/uk/news/archives/1999/07/

In the February 22 1999 issue of NME Matt Bellamy talks about Radiohead's influence on the band with The Bends:

"we take our influences from a lot of American bands, like Nirvana, Matthew asserts. And, yeah Radiohead at the time of 'The Bends' were doing new things with guitar music that it's hard not to be influenced by" http://i49.tinypic.com/2qs3y80.jpg

Matt Bellamy is bored of always being compared to Radiohead, especially since he doesn't consider that Muse and Radiohead play the same kind of music.But he takes it as a compliment. http://www.microcuts.net/uk/news/archives/11052001-microcuts_team_meet_matthew_bellamy.php

Matt Bellamy says he's ever met Radiohead, except Colin, the bass player who's very cool. http://www.microcuts.net/uk/news/archives/11052001-microcuts_team_meet_matthew_bellamy.php

Matt Bellamy likes Radiohead's Amnesiac, but he doesn't like Kid A at all. http://www.microcuts.net/uk/news/archives/11052001-microcuts_team_meet_matthew_bellamy.php

In 2003 Matt Bellamy changed his opinion on Kid A and seemed to talk favorably about it. "There are two ways of making new music : You can do something totally new and refreshing or you can work on already existing concepts, adding things to it. The first thing is difficult to do, actually that's only possible with making new sounds with computers. The second way is just correcting things. Actually there's also a third option which is doing a little of both, Radiohead's Kid A is a good example of that. That's what we are doing, looking at the past and trying to make progress.http://www.microcuts.net/uk/news/archives/05042003-interview.php
