Radiohead

Rap
Rap

Radiohead is a Rap act. Their sound grew out of Pink Floyd, Original Soundtracks 1, Clinic, There's a Riot Goin' On and Holy Fuck. Those roots explain a lot about how Radiohead arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Thom Yorke, Jeff Buckley, Nirvana, The Strokes and The Smiths, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Nicolas Jaar, 30 Seconds to Mars, Pretty Lights, Eisley and Ka-Ching!, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 271 connections around Radiohead, reaching back through Pink Floyd and forward to Nicolas Jaar.
