I feel like I’m one of the few people in existence who heard Creep a lot later than some of their other songs
My parents used to play the songs off of Hail To The Thief and In Rainbows a lot when I was a kid, but I always thought they were boring at the time and forgot about them for years
And then I started watching music theory videos, and heard the riff from No Surprises and now I’m a fanatic
Also I like Creep because I relate to the obsessive crush aspect of the lyrics and it’s a nice song(and it is actually true that I am very much inferior to Thom Yorke, so in comparison to him, I am not special), but most of the songs that I like more are songs I can’t relate to at all (with the exclusions of lyrically similar songs You, Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, and All I Need, as well as songs like Subterranean Homesick Alien, which I relate to because it can very much be interpreted as a song about how it feels to be on the spectrum), in particular, my favorite Radiohead song No Surprises

Oh, that's an interesting question! Radiohead hates "creep". There are a few reasons for this.

Firstly, the band felt that the song didn't represent their sound or the direction they wanted to go in. They were more interested in experimenting with different styles and "Creep" was a pretty straightforward rock song.

Secondly, they were frustrated that they were known only for this one song. They had other songs, albums, and ideas they wanted to share, but all anyone wanted to hear was "Creep". This led to a lot of frustration and even resentment towards the song.

Lastly, Thom Yorke has mentioned in interviews that he felt the song was a bit of a joke and that he didn't understand why it became so popular. He's even referred to it as "crap" and has often refused to play it live.

However, in recent years, they seem to have made peace with the song and have occasionally included it in their live performances. It's a
part of their history, after all. 😊

This is like barely on the subject at this point, but after listening to the You Were Never Really Here soundtrack, finding out from this video that Jonny Greenwood was in Radiohead makes me love it all the more. It's insane how full circle stuff feels sometimes.

When you REALLY listen to their disc it makes sense why they dislike creep compared to just, everything else they've done. Still a classic

6:38 they played it in 2004 cause The Pixies asked them to

we loved it when it came out

I've certainly never been a member of Radiohead, I've never even met them let alone played with them. But Christ I'd be right bloody sick and tired of playing Creep too! What a dreary, shitty ass fucking song. Good for them for having the balls to say "nah, fuck it, we're tired of it."

Will Wood with Dr. Sunshine Is Dead:

I'm going to be honest… it's their only actually good song.

I have not listened to 'KID A' since composing my tune 'Womb Life'. Listening to the latter, self made title works as a mental stabilizer rather than the legendary song in the rock music history. Goodbye Radiohead. My preference is to unleash energy as a terrorist and not keep depression inside. Being an immoral person makes me write better music. It's true.

The song that made them popular.

The reason they success due to audience fan

Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C Sharp Minor is one of the most famous piano movements ever written and Rachmaninoff apparently HATED playing it because it’s basically perfect and was written when he was very young (19, I think).

Since I watched the title and thumbnail, I already knew it Radiohead would be the topic of the video.

Useless.

middle 8 stop recycling the same 5 bands for content challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

I was in a coverband… It's a boring ass song to play.

Calling RADIOHEAD one hit wonders has my jaw on the floor

Fun fact the song high and dry helped saved my parents relationship when they were dating

I'm fucking stupid.

6:38 this whole sequence is pure comedic timing genius

i think if you use "lily-livered" to insult someone your argument is automatically invalidated
