Creep

Radiohead are an English rock band that formed in Oxfordshire in 1986. The band’s lineup, which has remained the same since its inception, consists of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O’Brien, Colin Greenwood and Phil Selway.

Radiohead released their first single, “Creep”, in 1992, followed by their debut album Pablo Honey (1993). Although initially unsuccessful, the song became a worldwide hit when it was re-issued a year later. The band’s popularity in the United Kingdom increased with their second album, The Bends (1995). With dense guitar atmospheres and Yorke’s expressive falsetto singing, the album was warmly received by music critics. Radiohead’s third album propelled them to even greater attention. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer (1997) was acclaimed worldwide, and has often been named a landmark record of the 1990s
