In this Season 5 premiere episode of The Music Rewind Podcast, we dive headfirst into one of the most daring left turns in modern music history: Radiohead’s Kid A. Released in 2000, the album shattered expectations, abandoned guitar-driven alt-rock, and redefined what a mainstream band could be. To help unpack its legacy, impact, and continued relevance, we’re joined by Jon D’Auria, Editor-in-Chief of Bass Magazine. Together, we explore how Kid A challenged listeners, reshaped the industry, and continues to influence artists decades later. From its icy electronic textures to its rejection of traditional rock tropes, this episode examines why Kid A remains one of the most important albums of the 21st century — and why it still sparks debate today.
