There is no connection with Neo Prog and Radiohead. And I will compare them with Pink Floyd. There is some of there stuff with a Floydian sound. Like it or not.

Of those I've only known Eno and it might explain why Radiohead appealed to me when I finally gave them a try a few years ago.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I like to think that some bands at their best seem to transcend genres. Radiohead very much fits in the same way Pink Floyd does. Neither of them were or are going for the things that most people associate with prog in terms of musical gymnastics on their instruments. It is much more about the sonic capability of those bands to create not just a nice atmosphere in the music but whole universes to each song. What I'm trying to say is that in many ways Radiohead evokes the true essence of progressive rock which is seen in the way they use their instruments in ways they've never been used before also the way they use the studio as an instrument is a true evolution of how that begun in the 70s seemingly always moving forward and having a new take on almost everything they do. Ultimately they are creating sonicly progressive music carrying rock into a new direction and thus they belong on any site devoted to prog.

Radiohead completely re-tooled their initial sound into an ambient electronic / art rock, grab bag. Along they way they progressed British pop to the point that "Radiohead Knock-off" is almost a sub genre.

It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen.

Radiohead = prog rock, in my opinion. They are an example of where progressive rock is, and has been probably since the late 90's. Ok Computer is transparently a prog rock album, and the alubms that followed may have had less of a 'rock' element, but they were certainly progressive, and experimental. I'm not a huge fan, but enjoy some of their albums, but the moment I heard Ok Computer, I thought 'Wow! They've gone prog' Even Rick Wakemen agrees..  I know Radiohead have denied their prog credentials in the past, but then so has`Steve Wilson, re PT. I'd be curious to know what those who believe RH are not prog, would think if RH just came out and said 'we're a prog rock band' Would they still be in denial?

Not seriously, unless you meant in sense of crazy, then quite likely.

Two songs from pre-Radiohead band called On A Friday have surfaced on the Web. Here is a link to the story on SPIN magazine including videos of the songs.

Why we can call Radiohead a prog rock band imo...
