In 2013, Radiohead's frontman Thom Yorke harshly criticized Spotify, calling it "the last desperate fart of a dying corpse" and pulled his music from the platform. Yorke particularly opposed Spotify's position as a gatekeeper in the music industry and its treatment of artists.

However, by 2016, the band's stance had significantly shifted. After initially releasing "A Moon Shaped Pool" on other streaming platforms in May 2016, Radiohead eventually added it to Spotify a month later. This marked the beginning of a complete reversal in their relationship with the platform.

The band's entire catalog is now available on Spotify, including:

• All studio albums from Pablo Honey (1993) to A Moon Shaped Pool (2016)
• B-sides and remix albums
• Single releases
• Special tracks like "Spectre" and "Harry Patch (In Memory Of)"

Notable releases on Spotify include:

• OK Computer (1997)
• Kid A (2000)
• In Rainbows (2007)
• The King of Limbs (2011)
• A Moon Shaped Pool (2016)

Interestingly, while Radiohead's full discography is now on Spotify, Thom Yorke's solo work remains absent from the platform, suggesting some lingering reservations about the streaming service.
