Thom Yorke capitulates: Radiohead, Atoms for Peace and his solo albums are on Apple Music

Another star gives up and changes his mind on the subject of streaming music; after AC/DC, even Thom Yorke (frontman of Radiohead and member of Atoms For Peace) is allwing his own music - both solo and with his bands - to appear on the catalogue of a music streaming service: the just-launched Apple Music.

It's an unexpected move since, in 2013, Yorke and his Atoms for Peace collaborator Nigel Godrich removed "Amok" and "The Eraser" from Spotify heavily criticising the company's business model. Even Radiohead’s "In Rainbows" is streaming on Apple Music (it was never available on Spotify).

In 2013 Yorke explained in an interview:

I feel like as musicians we need to fight the Spotify thing. We don’t need you to do it. No artists need you to do it. We can build the shit ourselves, so fuck off … To me this isn’t the mainstream, this is is like the last fart, the last desperate fart of a dying corpse. What happens next is the important part.

Well... he probably changed his mind.
