In 1985, they formed On a Friday, the name referring to the band's usual rehearsal day in the school's music room.
Jonny was the last to join, first on harmonica and then keyboards, but soon became the lead guitarist; he had previously been in another band, Illiterate Hands, with musician and Yorke's brother. According to Colin, the band members picked their respective instruments because they wanted to play music together, rather than through an interest in the particular instrument: 'It was more of a collective angle, and if you could contribute by having someone else play your instrument, then that was really cool.' At one point, On a Friday featured a saxophone section. The band disliked the school's strict atmosphere—the headmaster once charged the band for using a rehearsal room on a Sunday—and found solace in the school's music department.

With the release of the ' single later that year, Radiohead began to receive attention in the British music press, not all of it favourable; described them as 'a lily-livered excuse for a rock band', and 'Creep' was blacklisted by because it was deemed 'too depressing'. Radiohead released their debut album,, in February 1993.
It stalled at number 22 in the UK charts, as 'Creep' and its follow-up singles ' and ' failed to become hits. ', a non-album single, also sold poorly. Some critics compared the band's early style to the wave of music popular in the early 1990s, dubbing them '-lite', and Pablo Honey failed to make a critical or a commercial splash upon its initial release. Despite shared influences with popular guitar acts, and some notice for Yorke's, Radiohead toured only British universities and clubs.
'Creep' was Radiohead's first hit. This sample features Jonny Greenwood's before the chorus. According to legend, the effects were an attempt to sabotage a song Greenwood initially disliked. Problems playing this file? In early 1993, Radiohead began to attract listeners elsewhere.
'Creep' had been played frequently on radio by influential DJ, and in March, after the song became a hit in that country, Radiohead were invited to for their first live gig overseas. Around the same time, the San Francisco alternative radio station added 'Creep' to its playlist.
Soon other radio stations along the west coast of the United States followed suit. By the time Radiohead began their first North American tour in June 1993, the music video for 'Creep' was in heavy rotation on MTV.
The song rose to number two on the US chart, entered the lower reaches of the pop chart, and hit number seven in the when EMI rereleased it in the UK in September. Unexpected attention for the single in the US prompted EMI to improvise new promotional plans, and the band shuttled back and forth between continents, playing more than 150 concerts in 1993.
Radiohead nearly broke up due to the pressure of sudden success as the Pablo Honey supporting tour extended into its second year. The band members described the tour as difficult to adjust to, saying that towards its end they were 'still playing the same songs that [they had] recorded two years previously. Like being held in a time warp', when they were eager to work on new songs. 1994–1995: The Bends, critical recognition and growing fanbase Radiohead began work on their second album in 1994, hiring veteran producer. Tensions were high, with mounting expectations to deliver a follow-up to match the success of 'Creep'.
Recording felt unnatural in the studio, with the band having over-rehearsed the material. Seeking a change of scenery, they toured the Far East, and Mexico and found greater confidence performing their new music live. However, troubled by the fame he had achieved, Yorke became disillusioned with being 'at the sharp end of the sexy, sassy, MTV eye-candy lifestyle' he felt he was helping to sell to the world., an EP and single released late in 1994, was Radiohead's reaction, marking a transition towards the greater depth they aimed for on their second album. It was their first time working with their future producer, then working under Leckie as an. It was also Radiohead's first collaboration with artist, who has produced all of their artwork since. Promoted through alternative radio stations, My Iron Lung's sales were better than expected, and suggested for the first time that the band had found a loyal fanbase and were not.
Having introduced more new songs on tour, Radiohead finished recording their second album by year's end, and released in March 1995. The album was driven by dense riffs and ethereal atmospheres from the band's three guitarists, with greater use of keyboards than their debut.
It received stronger reviews for its songwriting and performances. While Radiohead were seen as outsiders to the scene that dominated media attention at the time, they were finally successful in their home country with The Bends, as singles ', ', ', and ' made their way to UK chart success; the latter song placed Radiohead in the top five for the first time.
In 1995, Radiohead again toured North America and Europe, this time in support of, one of their formative influences and at the time one of the biggest rock bands in the world. The buzz generated by such famous fans as R.E.M singer, along with distinctive music videos for 'Just' and 'Street Spirit', helped to sustain Radiohead's popularity outside the UK. 'High and Dry' became a modest hit, but Radiohead's growing fanbase was insufficient to repeat the worldwide success of 'Creep'.
The Bends peaked at No. 88 on the US album charts, which remains Radiohead's lowest showing there. Nonetheless, Radiohead were satisfied with the album's reception.
Jonny Greenwood later said: 'I think the turning point for us came about nine or twelve months after The Bends was released and it started appearing in people's [best of] polls for the end of the year. That's when it started to feel like we made the right choice about being a band.' In later years, The Bends appeared in many publications' lists of the best albums of all time, including 2012 edition of the at No. 1995–1998: OK Computer and critical acclaim By late 1995, Radiohead had already recorded one song that would appear on their next record.

Radiohead denied being part of the genre, but critics began to compare their work to, a band whose early 1970s work influenced Greenwood's guitar parts at the time. Some compared OK Computer thematically to Floyd's bestseller (1973), although Yorke said the album's lyrics had been inspired by observing the 'speed' of the world in the 1990s.
Yorke's lyrics, embodying different characters, had expressed what one magazine called 'end-of-the-millennium blues' in contrast to the more personal songs of The Bends. According to journalist, the band had become 'the poster boys for a certain kind of knowing alienation—as the Talking Heads and R.E.M. Had been before.'
OK Computer met with critical acclaim. Yorke said he was 'amazed it got the reaction it did.
None of us fucking knew any more whether it was good or bad. What really blew my head off was the fact that people got all the things, all the textures and the sounds and the atmospheres we were trying to create.'

Radiohead were largely inactive following their 1997–1998 tour; after its end, their only public performance in 1998 was at an concert in Paris. During the period the band came close to splitting up, and Yorke developed severe depression. In early 1999, Radiohead began work on their next album.
Although the success of OK Computer meant there was no longer any pressure or a deadline from their record label, tension was high.

Radiohead's fans were similarly divided; along with those who were appalled or mystified, there were many who saw the album as the band's best work. Yorke, however, denied that Radiohead had set out to eschew commercial expectations, saying: 'I was really, really amazed at how badly [ Kid A] was being viewed.
