Radiohead are a much-admired band that released their first album all the way back in 1993, with popular, but completely terrible, single "Creep" becoming a huge world-wide hit.<br /><br />As a band, they've unusually become much more musically interesting over time, although they could have mined a hugely lucrative whiny indie-rock seam for the rest of their careers. Guitarist Jonny Greenwood has become a noted film soundtrack composer, with superb discordant work for "There Will Be Blood" being a favourite of mine. I found their early albums impossible to listen to in their entirety, although some singles like "Paranoid Android" are classics individually and demonstrate great leaps forward in ambition.<br /><br />2007's "In Rainbows" album was an industry changing event, as it was downloadable for free and the listener could elect to pay what they want. On a side note, a superb remix album by Amp Live is worth listening to (link below). It was also the first time I could actually enjoy listening through a whole album in one sitting, and the same applies for "The King of Limbs" (2011) and "A Moon Shaped Pool (2016)".<br /><br />It was rather disappointing that social media feedback to their 2017 Glastonbury headline performance seemed to be desperate for music from the first 20% of their career, and "Creep" had been dug up from a deserved deep grave to please quality-indifferent nostalgists.<br /><br />"Street Spirit (Fade Out)", whilst a good song, always seems to drag for me and seems to benefit substantially from being 15 percent faster.<br /><br />Enjoy at 15% faster tempo, original is here for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBnzeG1BvM8<br /><br />Amp Live remix: https://soundcloud.com/amplive/sets/radiohead-rainydays-remixes<br /><br />Permanent article link: http://15percentfaster.com/post/171483175456/radiohead-street-spirit-fade-out-15-faster
