    “First Three Albums” is kind of a mood but personally one of the only Radiohead songs I like was Creep and the band actually hates that song, so yeah.

      I’m a huge fan of Kid A, though I can also accept that experimental music isn’t everyone’s bag.

      Thom Yorke had something of a mental break and made Kid A, which was fueled by a feeling that rock ‘was dead’, just a formulaic and commodified product now.

      I still like Creep, it’s a great-sounding song. I do get why they don’t like it, based on their statements about why they want to leave it behind.

      Yorke told Rolling Stone in 1993: “It’s like it’s not our song any more … It feels like we’re doing a cover.”[13] During Radiohead’s first American tour, audience members would scream for “Creep”, then leave after it was performed.[7] Yorke said the success “gagged” them and almost caused them to break up; they felt they were being judged on a single song.
