In the same year, Gigwise named Selway the 26th-greatest drummer of all time, praising his "mathematical precision".

Selway wrote songs as a teenager, but concentrated on drumming after forming Radiohead.

He began writing again later in life, and decided to record solo as he felt the songs had a distinct character that did not fit Radiohead.

1967

Philip James Selway (born 23 May 1967) is an English musician and the drummer of the rock band Radiohead.

He combines rock drumming with electronic percussion.

Selway was born on 23 May, 1967, in Abingdon, Berkshire.

He started learning to play drums and guitar at the age of 15 for "the social cachet and love of music".

His earliest influences were Joy Division, the Clash and the Velvet Underground.

The members of Radiohead met while attending Abingdon School, a private school for boys.

2000

With their fourth album, Kid A (2000), Radiohead began integrating drum machines and other electronic percussion into their music.

Selway said this widened his options and pushed him to create new dynamics, enabling him to express himself more creatively.

Describing the process of arranging electronic tracks such as "Idioteque" for live performance, he said: "Trying to give that sense of the electronic in the piece but doing it through your 'normal' instrument playing — that naturally develops your own musical voice ... Performing those songs live definitely affected how I sounded and how I would approach drum parts."

2008

In 2008, Mojo wrote that Selway and Colin Greenwood were "surely the most inventive rhythm section working close to the rock mainstream".

2010

In 2010, Selway released his debut solo album, Familial, comprising folk music.

Selway's debut solo album, Familial, was released on 30 August 2010.

2012

Describing their collaboration during Radiohead's 2012 King of Limbs tour, Selway said: "One [of us] played in the traditional way, the other almost mimicked a drum machine. It was push-and-pull, like kids at play, really interesting."

2014

It was followed by Weatherhouse in 2014 and Strange Dance in 2023.

Selway's second solo album, Weatherhouse, was released on 6 October 2014, featuring more ambitious instrumentation and electronic elements.

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March 2019.
