Radiohead

Radiohead are a 5 piece alternative British rock band from Oxfordshire. Around since 1992 to the present day their style of music has been highly influential on British music of the last decade and a half. Notably, their last album 'In Rainbows' was released digitally, but with a fundamental twist, buyers were allowed to set whatever price they wished when buying the album. Despite this, they still made more profit than on one of their earlier successful albums 'Hail To The Thief'. This offers an interesting alternative to outright piracy and shows that it can be avoided, beneficially to the industry and the audience.

This video shows Radiohead's 1995 video for their single 'Just', it forms a classic music video, with an abstract storyline related to the lyrics intercut with shots of the band playing in a separate location. It is the oldest of the music videos I have chosen, but still looks fairly modern if you discount dress styles. The idea of tying a theme to the lyrics and using this as a motif in the accompanying video is a key device in tying moving pictures to a song, and such this video could prove useful in my study.
