My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: As stated before in my GHWTDE Upload of the Guitar FC of this, it was giving me a lot of trouble on the PS2 port of it's home engine. It was simply too frustrating and time consuming for me to try to FC this specific version of the song on Guitar so i decided on Bass instead.
Bass isn't too difficult, at all. But this is probably one of the most iconic Alternative Rock Hits included on RB1's base setlist. It's a great song overall, and still a rare inclusion from Radiohead in the Rock Band Series.
Song Facts:
"Creep" is the debut single by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 21 September 1992. It was included on Radiohead's debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). It features "blasts" of guitar noise by Jonny Greenwood and lyrics describing an obsessive unrequited attraction.
Radiohead had not planned to release "Creep", and recorded it at the suggestion of the producers, Sean Slade and Paul Q. Kolderie, while they were working on other songs. They took elements from the 1972 song "The Air That I Breathe" by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood. Following legal action, Hammond and Hazlewood were credited as co-writers.
Kolderie convinced Radiohead's record label, EMI, to release "Creep" as a single. It was initially unsuccessful, but achieved radio play in Israel and became popular on American alternative rock radio.
It was reissued in 1993 and became an international hit, likened to alt-rock "slacker anthems" such as ''Smells Like Teen Spirit'' by Nirvana and ''Loser" by Beck. Reviews of "Creep" were mostly positive.
EMI pressured Radiohead to match the success, which created tension during the recording of their second album, The Bends (1995). Radiohead departed from the style of "Creep" and grew weary of it, feeling it set narrow expectations of their music, and did not perform it for several years.
Though they achieved greater commercial and critical success with later albums, "Creep" remains Radiohead's most successful single.
It was named one of the greatest debut singles and one of the greatest songs by Rolling Stone.
In 2021, the singer, Thom Yorke, released a remixed version with synthesisers and time-stretched acoustic guitar.
