Creep by Radiohead is the 1992 debut single that became the band's biggest hit — and its most-resisted song. Released on 21 September 1992 and taken from the debut album Pablo Honey (1993), this old evergreen classic has followed the band for more than three decades, finding new life everywhere from the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) to Glee (2013), Community (2014) and an X Factor-fuelled chart return in 2010.
