@@Darkrob131 Take a listen to The Air That I Breathe by The Hollies. Radiohead have to pay them royalties and credit them as writers. It's why Radiohead rarely play it live - costs them a fortune each time they do!
Radiohead are British royalty. They have been called the most influencial band since The Beatles. This album is nothing like their other stuff but they keep evolving. OK Computer is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest albums of all time. Radiohead could be the best band since the 60s and 70s super legends of pop and rock. Don't sleep on this. OK Computer might need a full album reaction soon.
What I love the most about watching your reactions is that there are songs we who have heard/sung to these hundreds of times tend to take it for granted. Watching you hear it for the first time makes me fall in love with it all over again.
I totally agree with you. I was born in the early 80’s and this is one of my all time favorite songs. Being a total outcast as a queer person, back then, made me relate so much to this lyrics and gave me some strange kind of comfort. Btw: I love to watch your reactions Mollyboy. You have become my favorite youtuber and it takes a lot to be that. 😅 Greetings from Sweden.
When this song first hit, it wasn’t immediately huge. I was at a bar with a girl I was friends with and we were waiting for our other friends to show when the DJ decided to play this song. I grabbed her hand and said “follow my lead, this is gonna be awesome.” So we hit the dance floor and started slow dancing and since the song was new, everyone else figured it must be a slow song all the way through so they did too. As we were dancing, I told my friend “after the verse, we are gonna rock out HARD”. We both had a beer or 5 in us already so she was game. When the chorus hit, we went nuts and everyone looked at us for a second like we were crazy, then just went with it too. The whole bar did that for the rest of the song and went apeshit cheering when it was over. High fives all around, we were the cool kids for a night. One of the coolest bar moments of my life. Thanks Radiohead! ❤🤘
I can’t believe people are discovering Radiohead only now- I remember lining up for tickets in Australia back in the 1990s for my two boys who were at school. They are now in their 30s and Thom Yorke played solo concerts last week in Melbourne . My sons went to both concerts to see him perform again. He is great. I’ve also become a Radiohead fan.
It's not _just_ that they did a song about feeling weird and wrong and like a stranger in your own skin under the eyes of someone you're attracted to, they made the feeling tragic, romantic, and beautiful. It's uplifting, hearing your soulsong in the voice of an other soul. 'Cause they can _tell_ you you're not alone, you won't believe them, but someone _singing_ what you're _feeling?_ Validation. Perfect validation. Oh, how we need that.
‘What the hell am I doing here…I don’t belong here’ is just so right about life, one time or another. Delivered so gently, despite the angst of the distorted guitar. This is a special song. I can’t think of another song, before or later, that portrays this level of emotion that we all relate to. This really is a masterpiece
Paranoid Android. A WOLF AT THE DOOR. Those have amazing lyrics and videos. Lucky, Sulk, Exit Music for a film are to feel other worldly experiences And Fitter Happier is a message that sticks. My fav band they have not one bad song omgg
Im a 64 year old grandma, from 1960. And I love this song ❤️ And there are so many for you to find and enjoy, you're a sweetheart. Im an expat British, living in Australia 🦘🇦🇺
this song was a teenage anthem the summer of 1994. I listened this song on a loop all summer with my friends. That was the summer of Weazer, offspring, radiohead, blind melon, L7, sublime, green day, the list goes on and on. Love your reaction!!!!
56 yo here. 90’s was my hay day. From first hear, Creep and Radiohead was legendary. Not many songs can wrap up the whole of the coming of age experience for the majority of humans so eloquently; with so few words; with haunting vocals ; and powerfully reserved music. Every box checked for a masterpiece. Thom Yorke has one of the most beautiful voices in the history of music. If you want more, FAKE PLASTIC TREES!
@ I entered my teens in the 80’s. The music of the 80’s will always be my favorite. But, in the 90’s, I was early college, just into my twenties and free to do what I wanted. So, the 90’s were the days of wild experiences… of which includes those that are discussed only in adult conversations and those that are not discussed at all! You could really say I was split decade… 1985 -1995. After that, life became serious and monotonous, requiring a shift in priorities and outlook.
I got to see the Pixies in Austin, Tx in a small venue with a mash pit….a long, long time ago around 1990……such a great time for music & attending small personal performances. Austin was such a Mecca for bands to cut their teeth. I’ve seen Charlie & Will Sexton, Retarded Elf, Jane’s Addiction, RHCP, & ton others when they were still small & you could just go talk to them because they’d hangout with their fans after set.
Mollyboy, this is the perfect reaction to Creep. You get it. It was so enjoyable watching you be blown away. You are humble but knowledgable and I can feel how passionate you are about great music. Carry on, mate.
Those of us in our 50s were so spoiled with great music from the 60s-90s. The 90s were the last great decade of music. Nothing this good since, IMO, and this song was one of the very best. Unforgettable.
So so glad our music peaked well before concert tix started being $300+ and everyone there watched it through their phone while recording for TikTok. We used to just be able to enjoy the moment
The song was supposedly written by singer Thom Yorke while he was studying at Exeter University in second half of the 1980's. The song was inspired by a girl that Thom followed around. The song talks about a young man that keeps following a woman around, whom he is attracted to. Towards the end, he is not enough self-confident to confront her but he realizes when she runs out the door that he's behaving like a stalker and creeping her out. After being asked about the song Yorke stated: "I have a real problem being a man in the '90s... Any man with any sensitivity or conscience toward the opposite sex would have a problem. To actually assert yourself in a masculine way without looking like you're in a hard-rock band is a very difficult thing to do... It comes back to the music we write, which is not effeminate, but it's not brutal in its arrogance. It is one of the things I'm always trying: To assert a sexual persona and on the other hand trying desperately to negate it."
The sad thing is that females only see the creepy behaviour and of course don’t think that that may not be the intent of the male, he just doesn’t know what to do. It’s difficult for women to know and the default setting is to be afraid. I’m older now and this has happened to me, but this has opened my eyes as to why this sometimes happens. In my case, he was just a stalker ex, nothing like this song. Great explanation 👍
Yeah, I grew up listening to Rush, LED Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Who Ect but when the 90’s rolled around, that music spoke to me. It sounded exactly how I felt. Now it’s my favorite era of music.
Good music stopped way before the 90s with a few exceptions like Radiohead. The breadth of musical quality across all styles was unsurpassed in the 60s and 70s, getting thinner and thinner until we have the dross that passes for popular music today. Can you imagine anyone wasting their time in 30/40 years doing a reaction channel to music from today?
This was really an anthem for most of GenX when it came out.. the angst, the self-hatred, and just the hopelessness you can hear in his voice... so powerful
This song was released in 1992, a little past my time as far as new music went. By 92, I had begun listening to the Oldies Stations for my music. However, my son, who's 45 now, came home one day back in 92. "Mom, theres this great new song I want you to hear". It was Creep. I listened once without saying a word. When it was over I said "Play it again". I cried through it that time. My son began hugging me and saying "It's ok, Mom. Its ok." He was worriedly looking at me, not knowing what had happened. I looked up at him, and said, " that is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, but its so sad." He said, "Well if I had known you'd react like that, I would have warned you." I smiled and asked "How would you have known?" There is a reaction for you. ❤ Strange how music and songs effect people. It is powerful. Great song, great reaction! Keep up the good work , MB.
Dude, I just started listening to your channel. I liked how you got into Depeche Mode and now Radiohead keep going there’s a lot more out there I like how it’s blowing your mind. Try listening to The Cure thank you for playing the cranberries zombie may she rest in peace
I'm a 36 year old woman and I've noticed this from the women who became mothers. A lot of them feel like people completely forget/ignore that they where a whole person before having children. My cousin used to be an artist and exhibition designer, but being a stay at home mum now, she felt like her individuality was slowly drained from her. She found a great outlet though: a group of mums that meet up, titled "girls
Radiohead is just such a amazing band. They have such a large catalog of brilliant songs and I'm sure you will love anything you react to from them. Creep is just the perfect anthem for all of us who sometimes feel like we don't belong wherever we are. And by "all of us," I really mean all of us. EVERYBODY has felt this way at least once!
The first time I heard about this song was on AGT. I then went and googled it, it blew my mind. BTW I’m a 65 year young woman. And I loved it. And they’re from the UK.
This was the first reaction I saw from you and subscribed because of your total joyful, intense absorption into the music. Rare to see these days from one so young. Keep it up❤
Radiohead is one of the most creative bands in rock history. Creep was a perfect song meant for a one-hit wonder band. Radiohead took that one hit and changed everything, going from a post-grunge band doomed to obscurity to the premier art rock/prog rock band of the 2000s and 2010s. Their next album, The Bends is entirely underrated because the albums that follow are brilliant. But I would put The Bends up against anything the Beatles put out before Revolver and the Beach Boys put out before Pet Sounds. And after The Bends, Radiohead released OK Computer and Kid A, two albums that can compete with any album ever released.
I’m 72 years old and I’m loving listening to this song again! I love this song and that voice! Just no words to express how grateful I am for this song ❤
Radiohead "Creep", R.E.M. "Losing My Religion" and "Everybody Hurts", Fools Garden "Lemon Tree", Soundgarden "Black Hole Sun", and 4 Non Blondes "What's Up" are the songs of my '90s. There are many other fantastic songs from that decade, but when I recall the '90s, these are 100% there.
This is one of those songs that really resonates with a lot of people. Still can't believe this is the same band that did "Karma Police" and "Paranoid Android."
Love your passion. And it’s great to see someone that’s never heard an amazing classical piece before and then realised how good it is. This is an iconic song by an iconic band and possibly one of the greatest songs ever.
I don't usually comment on videos.. But I just had to say your reactions to done of my favorite music seems very genuine and authentic... Yes I tear up at sort of these songs... Keep up the good work!
Love this song, gotta say you probably have the best music reaction videos on here, I haven't seen someone who has such similar reactions as me before so I just feel great knowing someone feels how I do about music :') You have also genuinely been helping me through some stuff recently just by uploading, so thank you man
You were dead on, it is a masterpiece. Never get tired of hearing it and weirdly I always have the same emotional reaction to it. This is one time I wish you would have rewound several times. Love your reactions.😊
Wonderful to see someone discovering this great band with such a rich history. Radiohead has an immense catalog, so definitely worth going down the rabbit hole. I suggest RADIOHEAD - Paranoid Andriod next, a must listen❣❣❣ Yes, they are British.
That loud-quiet-loud dynamic you are loving so much was pioneered by the Pixies in the late 80s and had a huge influence on the bands of the 90s. You should definitely check them out.
You have such an expressive face. I’ve enjoyed watching you experience Radiohead. For somebody my age, it seems strange that you’ve never heard of Radiohead, they were a part of my young adult life. Nice to see they’ve stood the test of time
My very first concert was Radiohead opening for REM when creep was brand new...... Ive seen many concerts but still to this day Radiohead rules!!!!! I just feel blessed to have seen this performed live 🤘🏼
The look at 2:46 had me rolling😂😂. 50 years old and love watching you hear these songs for the first time. It would be so epic to go back and hear some of this stuff for the first time all over again!
This song has always made my heart hurt. It's a feeling we can all identify with at some time or another. It's so emotionally powerful. And his delivery is perfection!! ❤️ so glad you were impressed too!
I love watching you react to my favourite tracks. It brings a fresh perspective. Welcome to the Radiohead rabbit hole , you could spend a year down here. . They have Ben lazily labelled as depressing, but they understand the power of music to stir the emotions. They are clever too but not indulgent. I recommend the " from the basement session of in Rainbows , particularly Nude, a weird Fishes and Reckoner. Softer and jazz influenced but full of beauty and pain
This is one of the most complex and well constructed songs! From a musician's perspective, this song hits in all the right places; never mind the lyrics. They have managed to tap into the universality of feeling like an outsider.
It makes me so happy to see you discovering all these songs from the 90s... and sad at the same time, because to me it still feels so close, as if these 30+ years hadn't passed
This was from their first album, and it's one of their songs that they really tried to distance themselves from. It was during the britpop indy era of the early to mid 90s and their producers tried to pigeonhole them into just doing more of the same. Each Album they got more experimental and eventually they took over producing themselves so they could actually make the music they wanted to, and their 2nd album has a track called My Iron Lung which is about this song creep kinda keeping them stuck on a life support, holding them back. Some of my favourite tracks of theirs are Paranoid Android, Let Down, Blackstar, There There, 2+2 make 5, How To Disappear Completely, Pyramid song (I think you'll love the rhythmic pattern of that one as it's very odd trying to figure it out, but it works perfectly)...but you could probably pick a track at random and find something interesting going on with it
Oh yeah boy! Even if the band themselves eventually got tired of it and refuse to play it anymore, it is undeniably a timeless masterpiece. The emotions built into it transcend generations. Strikes a blow just as hard now at 46 as it did when I was 16. More Radiohead please, it will blow your mind.
This was the song of a generation. I still get the same case of feels listening to it today as I did back in the 90s. You definitely need to check out the live version from 2007, I think. Thom Yorke, the lead singer, is wearing bright yellow pants. His performance is absolutely unbelievable.
Hi there bro. Now you speak my language. Absolutely fantastic song by a brilliant band. This song has actually been used in quite a few movies and TV shows. Thanks for another great video from yourself. I look forward to the next one. Take care and blessings to you and your family from Weymouth.
I am a massive Radiohead Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood fan!! I love so many era's and genre's of music, grew up in the 60's as a flower child, thru the 70's, the 80's and each decade has so many incredible and phenomenally gifted musicians/singer/songwriters. I rate Radiohead as one of my all time top favs because of their sheer talent, Jonny's phenomenal composing and Thom's song writing and singing genius. I love their tunes. There a few that didn't catch me, but a lot of them did and the tunes that did keep them as one of the all time top bands. My favs are "Creep" but not this version. I like the live version with Thom scream singing his lungs out, it's over the top! I love "Paranoid Android" but prefer the live at Jools Holland BBC performance, it's the best! I love the complete "In Rainbows" cd but prefer the "In Rainbows Live from the Basement". I love "Karma Police", "No Surprises", "Street Spirit", "15 Step", and I love Thom and Jonny's "The Smile". Thanks MollyBoy!!
So many people have covered this song. Everyone has their twist on it. My favorite one is done by a guy called Homeless Mustard who sings in the NYC subway. When he sings it, you just know that he has lived the story. Shivers.
A perfect suggestion after this would be Talking Heads Psycho Killer from the Stop Making Sense concert...why? Because Radiohead took their name from a Talking Heads song.
Having grown up with such great music in the 1970s, it still surprises me that I hold Radiohead as equal to many of the greatest bands from that era. They are my favorite post-70s band. Their use of guitars, synthesizers, and drums, coupled with great songwriting, always makes their music stand out. You can pick anything from the albums Kid A or OK Computer and it will blow you away. One of the greatest performances was on their Video DVD “album” King of Limbs: Live from the Basement. Thanks for reacting to them!
"I want you to notice when I'm not around." Best line ever.
Because you're so fucking special.
Also “your skin makes me cry”
They can play this at my funeral.
"I'm a creep" is my favorite. 💙🙃
Haunting and beautiful.
The way the distortion kicks in on the guitar after he sings “I wish I was special” is an emotional gut punch and yet, I never get sick of this song.
This is one of those songs that just never gets old, no matter how many times you listen to it! Very Nostalgic.
Facts
Truth
It was however a complete rip off of another song. Still great though!
@dopiaza2006 which song? Just curious.

Exactly. Just react to OKC straight through in the order intended.
Couldn't agree more. Music changing stuff.
No way on that most influential band since the Beatles. Try T-Rex and Joy Division instead. Look up what professional musicians say.
Exactly this!
The bends is also an amazing album
What I love the most about watching your reactions is that there are songs we who have heard/sung to these hundreds of times tend to take it for granted. Watching you hear it for the first time makes me fall in love with it all over again.

Dude, I just started listening to your channel. I liked how you got into Depeche Mode and now Radiohead keep going there’s a lot more out there I like how it’s blowing your mind. Try listening to The Cure thank you for playing the cranberries zombie may she rest in peace
I’m a 56 year old mother of three sons and meeting me, you would never know that I identify with this song. It’s hidden so well.
I'm 59. And me too.
60 me too
You've found your anthem. ❤
It's called masking and same beth, same
I'm a 36 year old woman and I've noticed this from the women who became mothers. A lot of them feel like people completely forget/ignore that they where a whole person before having children. My cousin used to be an artist and exhibition designer, but being a stay at home mum now, she felt like her individuality was slowly drained from her. She found a great outlet though: a group of mums that meet up, titled "girls
You’re right when you say it’s a masterpiece.
Radiohead is just such a amazing band. They have such a large catalog of brilliant songs and I'm sure you will love anything you react to from them. Creep is just the perfect anthem for all of us who sometimes feel like we don't belong wherever we are. And by "all of us," I really mean all of us. EVERYBODY has felt this way at least once!
The first time I heard about this song was on AGT. I then went and googled it, it blew my mind. BTW I’m a 65 year young woman. And I loved it. And they’re from the UK.
Absolutely loved seeing your reaction to this! It truly is a stunner.
This was the first reaction I saw from you and subscribed because of your total joyful, intense absorption into the music. Rare to see these days from one so young. Keep it up❤
Radiohead is one of the most creative bands in rock history. Creep was a perfect song meant for a one-hit wonder band. Radiohead took that one hit and changed everything, going from a post-grunge band doomed to obscurity to the premier art rock/prog rock band of the 2000s and 2010s.
Their next album, The Bends is entirely underrated because the albums that follow are brilliant. But I would put The Bends up against anything the Beatles put out before Revolver and the Beach Boys put out before Pet Sounds. And after The Bends, Radiohead released OK Computer and Kid A, two albums that can compete with any album ever released.
I would put In Rainbows on that list as well.
Their actual peak was in the late 90s but they did not stop making great albums.
They never peaked they keep getting better, their last album with the smile is filled with such delicate pieces. ✨️
Well said.
1000%
This is one of those songs that makes me doubt my existence while I cry into the darkness... It's beyond a classic.
Fake plastic trees is one of their best songs.
IM 75, THIS HAS BEEN ON MY PLAYLIST FOR 25+YRS. THERE IS SO MUCH WELL CRAFTED MUSIC .. THERE AINT SH!T LATELY!
Well, there is Ren, but I agree completely.
Try listening to Ren. I'm almost 70 and he's the first artist in a long time that has moved me. I listen to him every day.
✨ Radiohead “Paranoid Android” NEXT PLEASE!! I ABSOLUTELY know you LOVE IT!!!🤘🤘🤘
Upvote 100%
❤ yes!! Masterpiece
Yes!!!
a MUST
Watch the live performance on the BBC: one of my absolute favourite live song EVER!
I’m 72 years old and I’m loving listening to this song again! I love this song and that voice! Just no words to express how grateful I am for this song ❤
One of the greatest bands in the history of music.
The crazy thing is when this song came out most people just thought it was depressing, now it's a classic with a billion view's.
The vocal at the end in one of the live versions is mental he holds it a lot longer and shows all the emotion
Radiohead "Creep", R.E.M. "Losing My Religion" and "Everybody Hurts", Fools Garden "Lemon Tree", Soundgarden "Black Hole Sun", and 4 Non Blondes "What's Up" are the songs of my '90s. There are many other fantastic songs from that decade, but when I recall the '90s, these are 100% there.
This is one of those songs that really resonates with a lot of people. Still can't believe this is the same band that did "Karma Police" and "Paranoid Android."
Listen to both of those songs!!
Love your passion. And it’s great to see someone that’s never heard an amazing classical piece before and then realised how good it is. This is an iconic song by an iconic band and possibly one of the greatest songs ever.
Can't ever go wrong with radiohead. They are so incredible.
Watching Thom Yorke sing this live is simply a must!!!
I can’t wait to see your reaction 😊
I don't usually comment on videos.. But I just had to say your reactions to done of my favorite music seems very genuine and authentic... Yes I tear up at sort of these songs... Keep up the good work!
Love this song, gotta say you probably have the best music reaction videos on here, I haven't seen someone who has such similar reactions as me before so I just feel great knowing someone feels how I do about music :') You have also genuinely been helping me through some stuff recently just by uploading, so thank you man
It IS a masterpiece, you are correct!!!!😊
I must admit your playlist is badass. Thanks Molly
You were dead on, it is a masterpiece. Never get tired of hearing it and weirdly I always have the same emotional reaction to it. This is one time I wish you would have rewound several times. Love your reactions.😊
Wonderful to see someone discovering this great band with such a rich history. Radiohead has an immense catalog, so definitely worth going down the rabbit hole. I suggest RADIOHEAD - Paranoid Andriod next, a must listen❣❣❣ Yes, they are British.
That loud-quiet-loud dynamic you are loving so much was pioneered by the Pixies in the late 80s and had a huge influence on the bands of the 90s. You should definitely check them out.
pixies - where is my mind is the song in fight club, definitely worth checking out, keep up the good work cuz
New subscriber! Love this reaction! Radiohead are from Abingdon, United Kingdom. I love this song, never get tired of it!
They’re from Abingdon in Oxfordshire. You could check out “Jigsaw falling into pieces” or “Let Down”
I love that you're listening to 4 decades of various bands
Variety is the best way to go young man...😊 you'll be at 100k in no time. Enjoy your channel very much❤
This song hits everyone because everyone has felt this way at some point in life.
Loving the channel, brother!
You have such an expressive face. I’ve enjoyed watching you experience Radiohead. For somebody my age, it seems strange that you’ve never heard of Radiohead, they were a part of my young adult life. Nice to see they’ve stood the test of time
It is a "masterpiece." IMHO, it's one of the best songs of the 90s.
The first time I heard this, probably the week it came out in the 90s, my jaw hit the floor. One of the best songs ever written.
The Fight Club song you’re thinking of is The Pixies with ‘ Where Is My Mind’
He hasn't gotten to Pixies yet has he?
I was thinking that. 👍
My very first concert was Radiohead opening for REM when creep was brand new...... Ive seen many concerts but still to this day Radiohead rules!!!!! I just feel blessed to have seen this performed live 🤘🏼
I love this song
The look at 2:46 had me rolling😂😂. 50 years old and love watching you hear these songs for the first time. It would be so epic to go back and hear some of this stuff for the first time all over again!
Cause I'm a crepe
I'm a weirdough
What the hell am I doughing here?
I donut belong here
@@neilpatrickhairless lol 😂
Lol😂 thanks
Did we just become best friends?
made my day
Weird-dough??? 😳
Is that some kind of strange pastry??? 🤔 🥐🥖🥯 😆
This song has always made my heart hurt. It's a feeling we can all identify with at some time or another. It's so emotionally powerful. And his delivery is perfection!! ❤️ so glad you were impressed too!
Radiohead - Street Spirit. Radiohead - Just.
I love watching you react to my favourite tracks. It brings a fresh perspective. Welcome to the Radiohead rabbit hole , you could spend a year down here. . They have Ben lazily labelled as depressing, but they understand the power of music to stir the emotions. They are clever too but not indulgent. I recommend the " from the basement session of in Rainbows , particularly Nude, a weird Fishes and Reckoner. Softer and jazz influenced but full of beauty and pain
Oh the Radiohead rabbit-hole....sublime.
This is one of the most complex and well constructed songs! From a musician's perspective, this song hits in all the right places; never mind the lyrics. They have managed to tap into the universality of feeling like an outsider.
I don’t really like Radiohead but I absolutely love this song.
Same
I didn’t really liked Radiohead after OK Computer
Get awey with ye...incase the fairies hear you...
yep me too. far too much mumbling
It makes me so happy to see you discovering all these songs from the 90s... and sad at the same time, because to me it still feels so close, as if these 30+ years hadn't passed
This was from their first album, and it's one of their songs that they really tried to distance themselves from. It was during the britpop indy era of the early to mid 90s and their producers tried to pigeonhole them into just doing more of the same. Each Album they got more experimental and eventually they took over producing themselves so they could actually make the music they wanted to, and their 2nd album has a track called My Iron Lung which is about this song creep kinda keeping them stuck on a life support, holding them back.
Some of my favourite tracks of theirs are Paranoid Android, Let Down, Blackstar, There There, 2+2 make 5, How To Disappear Completely, Pyramid song (I think you'll love the rhythmic pattern of that one as it's very odd trying to figure it out, but it works perfectly)...but you could probably pick a track at random and find something interesting going on with it
Oh yeah boy! Even if the band themselves eventually got tired of it and refuse to play it anymore, it is undeniably a timeless masterpiece. The emotions built into it transcend generations. Strikes a blow just as hard now at 46 as it did when I was 16. More Radiohead please, it will blow your mind.
So enjoyed seeing your reaction and your enjoyment at the brilliant song👍
Can never hear this one enough- love your reaction little bro
Love them! High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees are musts
This was the song of a generation. I still get the same case of feels listening to it today as I did back in the 90s.
You definitely need to check out the live version from 2007, I think. Thom Yorke, the lead singer, is wearing bright yellow pants. His performance is absolutely unbelievable.
the live version of this song is absolutely gut wrenching.
Hi there bro. Now you speak my language. Absolutely fantastic song by a brilliant band. This song has actually been used in quite a few movies and TV shows. Thanks for another great video from yourself. I look forward to the next one. Take care and blessings to you and your family from Weymouth.
Nice! High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees are great ones too.
Seeing your "disbelieving eyes" is priceless!! Love your reactions bro!! Thanks for reintroducing all these great bands/songs again to all of us!!!
I am a massive Radiohead Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood fan!! I love so many era's and genre's of music, grew up in the 60's as a flower child, thru the 70's, the 80's and each decade has so many incredible and phenomenally gifted musicians/singer/songwriters. I rate Radiohead as one of my all time top favs because of their sheer talent, Jonny's phenomenal composing and Thom's song writing and singing genius. I love their tunes. There a few that didn't catch me, but a lot of them did and the tunes that did keep them as one of the all time top bands. My favs are "Creep" but not this version. I like the live version with Thom scream singing his lungs out, it's over the top! I love "Paranoid Android" but prefer the live at Jools Holland BBC performance, it's the best! I love the complete "In Rainbows" cd but prefer the "In Rainbows Live from the Basement". I love "Karma Police", "No Surprises", "Street Spirit", "15 Step", and I love Thom and Jonny's "The Smile". Thanks MollyBoy!!
So many people have covered this song. Everyone has their twist on it. My favorite one is done by a guy called Homeless Mustard who sings in the NYC subway. When he sings it, you just know that he has lived the story. Shivers.
A perfect suggestion after this would be Talking Heads Psycho Killer from the Stop Making Sense concert...why? Because Radiohead took their name from a Talking Heads song.
Best reaction on this song I have seen! Loved your reactions❤
I get full body chills every time, no matter how many times I hear it❤
Ditto
How can you not know of this song dude?
All time classic from one of the 90’s best bands!
Radiohead is band that you have to listen to their albums to see the true evolution of one of the greatest British bands of all time.
Having grown up with such great music in the 1970s, it still surprises me that I hold Radiohead as equal to many of the greatest bands from that era. They are my favorite post-70s band. Their use of guitars, synthesizers, and drums, coupled with great songwriting, always makes their music stand out. You can pick anything from the albums Kid A or OK Computer and it will blow you away. One of the greatest performances was on their Video DVD “album” King of Limbs: Live from the Basement.
Thanks for reacting to them!
The irony is they hate this song. I always thought it was relatable when it came out.
