David Byrne remembered the exact moment he fell in love with Radiohead<\/a> at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame<\/a> induction ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me \u2026 Kid A,<\/em> was my conversion moment,\u201d Byrne told the crowd<\/a> at Barclays Center. \u201cThe record joined together electronics with song forms that blew me away. I\u2019d never heard anything like it. There are elements and influences of Can and Miles Davis\u2019 electric period, but this was very different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kid A <\/em>turns 20 next year. Before being inducted into the Rock Hall, Radiohead\u2019s Ed O\u2019Brien and Philip Selway talked to Rolling<\/em> Stone<\/em> about their induction and their first U.S. Number One album.<\/p>\n

How did it feel to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
<\/span><\/strong>Ed: You realize what a big thing it is over here. When we were nominated, I got so many emails from friends and family saying, \u201cWell done!\u201d You realize the cultural impact. Coming here \u2014 it\u2019s like we said out there, it\u2019s a big fucking deal. I wish the others \u2014 they would have enjoyed it I think.<\/span><\/p>\n

What was their thinking about it?
<\/span><\/strong>Phil: They actually had other shows all booked. They couldn\u2019t make it. But yes, I think they would\u2019ve been blown away by this evening as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

What did Thom say when you talked to him about it?
<\/span><\/strong>Ed: The last time in January when we were all together he was pleased that Philip and I were able to go because he wasn\u2019t able to go. Not just him, but everybody felt like it was a big deal. And even if three people couldn\u2019t be there, at least two of us could go. Like Philip says, he gets it.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s next for you guys?
<\/span><\/strong>We\u2019re taking a break from the band. We\u2019ve been doing touring. We\u2019ve all got other projects that we want to get on with. We\u2019re talking at the moment about what excites [us]. That\u2019s always the spark that gets things moving along with us, particularly after 30 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is it like to see your influence?
<\/span><\/strong>Ed: I think it\u2019s really hard to even fathom that. When we\u2019re not in Radiohead, we just live normal lives, normal middle-class lives with our family. I\u2019m always blown away \u2014 yesterday walking along the street in New York, someone goes, Hey Ed, how are you doing? It\u2019s very difficult to tell how we influenced people and it\u2019s not necessarily something I feel comfortable dwelling upon. We do what we do. We\u2019ve always done what we do. And we\u2019re very lucky. If we influence other people, that\u2019s incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n

I just finished a book about EMI, Selling the Pig<\/em>, and we\u2019re mentioned a lot in it. We\u2019re mentioned when we left EMI how much of a big blow it is, and I had no idea that we mattered that much to them. That probably sounds really naive. <\/span> But there weren\u2019t people going, \u201cYou\u2019re so important.\u201d We were just one of the bands on their roster. Sometimes we don\u2019t realize. And I think that\u2019s a good place to be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next year is the 20th anniversary of Kid A<\/em> \u2014 how does that feel?
<\/span><\/strong>Ed: My favorite anecdote from that period was doing an interview on the phone with Billboard<\/em>, and it had gone Number One, and the guy was like, \u201cThis is the fucking weirdest Number One we\u2019ve ever had in America.\u201d We\u2019re like, that\u2019s great.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phil: It was interesting with the OK Computer<\/em> release that we did. Having a chance to go back in, go through that entire archive and realize how much work was generated at that point. I think there\u2019s a similar thing around Kid A<\/em> as well. We\u2019ve not listened back to the outtakes and the other things we were working. I know there\u2019s a wealth of stuff there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whenever you make a record there\u2019s a time when you are collectively, individually, emotionally, physically \u2014 sometimes you leave these things open. With Ok Computer<\/em>, we closed that door. Kid A<\/em> was a difficult album to make. It\u2019ll be interesting. Opening that one will be interesting. It\u2019ll all come flooding back. It wasn\u2019t the happiest of times. But I think the music was pretty good.<\/span><\/p>\n
