104. 'Creep' - Radiohead (1992)
When “Creep” hit the airwaves in the early '90s, it both launched and haunted Radiohead. What began as a raw, angsty ballad about alienation and obsession became a global anthem for outsiders, misfits, and anyone who ever felt like they didn’t belong. But behind the success lies a story of surprise, sabotage and a band that despised the song that made them famous. From its iconic guitar crunch, to legal battles over chord similarities, “Creep” is one of the most unlikely alt-rock hits of all time. In this episode, we unpack the controversy, emotion, and legacy of a song Radiohead would rather forget, but the world refuses to let go of.
