Jamie Gurnell wrote in to tell us that he created an info-graphic about Radiohead’s music. On his site, he says:
Radiohead is a band that is the very definition of “unclassifiable” I developed this idea of bleeding genres into each other and plotting the corresponding songs on a graph. It was by no means a mathematical undertaking and took several hours of quite enjoyable listening and debate to achieve. What you come away with is the basic idea that Radiohead in itself is its own genre, refusing to fit anywhere but inside itself.
I am aware that this graph will come under scrutiny and be the brunt of harsh remarks, but in a way, that is what it is meant to do. It is meant to be discussed. It is an ongoing work in progress and until Radiohead stops making music it will never be finished.
If you have any suggestions, remarks or thoughts on improving or altering this design I am completely open to them.
After a few more revisions I plan on trying to get some of these made.
They will be approximately 30X30 Inch silk screens.Many thanks to my friend Art Commisso for the help.
