From which band's "True Stories" album did Radiohead derive its name?

Radiohead derived its name from “Radio Head,” a song on the Talking Heads album True Stories. The album was released in 1986 and was the seventh studio album by the American rock band Talking Heads.

Before becoming Radiohead, the English group formed at Abingdon School under the name On a Friday, referring to the day they regularly rehearsed. After signing with EMI in the early 1990s, the band changed its name. They chose Radiohead after the Talking Heads track, which appears on True Stories.

The song is the sixth track on the album. True Stories was connected to David Byrne’s satirical 1986 film of the same name, and the album contains Talking Heads performances of songs associated with that film. The name “Radiohead” therefore came from a specific song title, not directly from the album title.

The band released its debut EP, Drill, in 1992, followed by the album Pablo Honey in 1993. That record introduced the group internationally with the single “Creep.”
