Radiohead

In April 2011, Radiohead graced Saturday Night Live with an electrifying performance that featured 'Lotus Flower' and 'Staircase.' Just before this standout moment, they had released their eighth studio album, 'The King of Limbs,' in February of the same year. This album marked a pivotal point in their evolution, introducing a more experimental and electronic sound, which really shone through in their live renditions. The performance is memorable not only for the music but also for Thom Yorke's mesmerizing dance moves during 'Lotus Flower,' which went on to become iconic. Interestingly, their SNL appearance came during a time when they were known for pushing boundaries—both sonically and visually—further cementing their status as innovative artists in the alternative rock scene.
