Radiohead are an English rock band formed in Abingdon,
Oxfordshire, in
1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke(vocals,
guitar, piano, keyboards), brothers Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments) and Colin Greenwood (bass), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals) and Philip Selway (drums, percussion). They have worked with producer Nigel Godrich and cover artist Stanley Donwood since 1994. Radiohead's experimental approach is credited with advancing the sound of alternative rock.
After signing to EMI in 1991,
Radiohead released their debut single, "Creep",
in 1992. It became a worldwide hit after the release of their debut album, Pablo Honey(1993).
Their popularity and critical standing rose in the UK with the release of their
second album, The Bends (1995).
Radiohead's third album, OK Computer(1997),
brought them international fame; noted for its complex production and themes of
modern alienation, it is
acclaimed as a landmark record and one of the best albums in popular music. Kid A (2000) marked a
dramatic change in style, incorporating influences from electronic music, jazz,
classical music and krautrock.
Though Kid A divided listeners, it later attracted wide acclaim. It was
followed by Amnesiac (2001),
recorded in the same sessions.
Hail to the Thief (2003), with lyrics inspired by the War on Terror, was
Radiohead's final album for EMI. Their subsequent releases have pioneered
alternative release platforms such as pay-what-you-want and BitTorrent;
Radiohead self-released their seventh album, In Rainbows(2007),
as a download for
which customers could set their own price, to critical and chart success. Their
eighth album, The King of Limbs(2011),
an exploration of rhythm, was developed using extensive looping and sampling. A Moon Shaped Pool(2016)
prominently featured Jonny Greenwood's orchestral arrangements. Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Selway, and O'Brien have
released solo albums; in 2021, Yorke and Greenwood debuted a new band, the Smile.
"Fake Plastic Trees" is a song by
the English alternative rock band Radiohead,
released on their second album, The Bends(1995).
It was the third
single from the album in the UK, and the first in the US. It
charted on the UK Singles Chart, the New Zealand Singles Chart,
the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, and the Canadian Rock/Alternative chart.
Her green plastic
watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from
a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a
broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out
It wears him out
It wears him out
It wears
She looks like the
real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the
feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
It wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time
All the time.
