Radiohead

from Tonight's Musical Guest, Today Hosted by Tonight's Musical Guest, Today

It's a career arc that spanned genres, oceans, and mainstream musical movements that came and went. And at the center of it, an enigmatic frontman that refused to make anything easy. It's RADIOHEAD week! The guys give a quick upcoming concert report before Jon reveals a shocking secret about his relationship with the band of the week. The clip story begins with Radiohead as a fish out of water on MTV Beach House until Thom Yorke literally gets wet. Back to back clips on Jools Holland captures The Bends and OK Computer era, with a quick Dave Grohl Corner in between. Kid A creates the foundation for modern music culture and provides an SNL performance for the ages.
