Creep – Radiohead

“Creep” is a song by the English rock band Radiohead

The song was written by vocalist Thom Yorke and was released as their debut single in 1992, it later appeared on their first album, Pablo Honey in1993.

During its initial release, “Creep” was not a chart success. However, upon re-release in 1993, it became a worldwide hit. The band began to dislike the song, as fans attended their early gigs primarily for the performance of “Creep” and they saw it as being overplayed.

During the mid-to-late 1990s, “Creep” was played less frequently at gigs and in 1998, the band dropped the song from setlists altogether where it wasn’t played live again until 2001. In 2009, during the Spring tour of South America and Mexico, the song was played at almost every gig and opened their set in the 2009 Reading Festival.
