Subterranean Homesick Alien
"Subterranean Homesick Alien" is a song by English rock band Radiohead from their seventh studio album ''OK Computer'' (1997). Its title references the Bob Dylan song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" from Dylan's fifth album ''Bringing It All Back Home'' (1965), of which critics have noted. Background "Subterranean Homesick Alien" takes inspiration from multiple things, the most prominent being a poem Thom Yorke wrote in college where Yorke imagined himself as if he were an alien observing humanity, "If you're an alien from another planet, how would you see these people?" was the idea according to Yorke. Another idea for song arose after Yorke hit a bird while driving home. It was originally a "folky" acoustic duo by Yorke and Jonny Greenwood titled "Uptight". Composition and lyrics Radiohead used electric keyboards to emulate the sound used in ''Bitches Brew'', a 1970 jazz album by Miles Davis.

''Bringing It All Back Home'' is the fifth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released in April1965 by Columbia Records.

The album is split into two distinct halves; the first half of the album features electric instrumentation, in which on side one of the original LP, Dylan is backed by an electric rock and roll band. The second half features mainly acoustic songs. The album abandons the protest music of Dylan's previous records in favor of more surreal, complex lyrics.

Several of their albums are consistently ranked among the greatest of all time. Radiohead's first album, ''Pablo Honey'' (1993), preceded by their breakthrough single " Creep", features a sound reminiscent of alternative rock bands such as the Pixies and Nirvana. '' The Bends'' (1995) marked a move toward " anthemic rock", with more cryptic lyrics about social and global topics, and elements of Britpop. ''OK Computer'' (1997), the first Radiohead album produced by Godrich, features more abstract lyrics that reflected themes of modern alienation, and subtle, complex and textured songs. ''Kid A'' (2000) and '' Amnesiac'' (2001), recorded in the same sessions, marked a drastic change in style, incorporating influences from electronic music, 20th-century classical music, krautrock and jazz.

Bitches Brew
''Bitches Brew'' is a studio album by the American jazz trumpeter, composer, and bandleader Miles Davis. It was recorded from August 19 to 21, 1969, at Columbia's Studio B in New York City and released on March 30, 1970, by Columbia Records. It marked Davis's continuing experimentation with electric instruments that he had featured on his previous record, the critically acclaimed '' In a Silent Way'' (1969). With these instruments, such as the electric piano and guitar, Davis departed from traditional jazz rhythms in favor of loose, rock-influenced arrangements based on improvisation. The final tracks were edited and pieced together by producer Teo Macero. The album initially received a mixed critical and commercial response, but it gained momentum and became Davis's highest-charting album on the U.S. ''Billboard'' 200, peaking at No. 35. In 1971, it won a Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album. In 1976, it became Davis's first album to be certified Gold by the Reco ...
