Scores

  1. 3 and above.

    Hey, so you didn't recognise a lot of the videos here. Radiohead's about speakers/headphones on and eyes-closed listening anyway, right?

  2. 6 and above.

    Not a bad effort at all – deserving of a slow-mo, Yorke-inspired modern dance break, surely.

  3. 9 and above.

    Your friends turn to you for their Radiohead trivia, don't they? Very good job.

  4. 10 and above.

    Perfect score. If you're a member of Radiohead, that surely counts as cheating. Otherwise, very well done.
