Radiohead, creep

***lord bunberry*** · 17-10-2016 10:28 PM

I thought I'd start a thread about the greatest song of all time. Obviously I think that Creep is the best song ever and anyone who disagrees is wrong, but if you must, I'd like to hear your second best

Taking us down a bit of a cul-de-sac with that heading mate ;-)

As for Radiohead, fake plastic trees is a wonderful song but the rest are pretty naff. The boy needs to cheer up a bit.

**Pretty Boy** · 18-10-2016 07:05 AM

As a huge Radiohead fan I can take or leave Creep, the whole Pablo Honey album isn't really that great imo. It has it's moments but it's a band still finding their feet and far, far better followed. If I had to pick a best Radiohead song it would probably be My Iron Lung.

Best song ever is subjectibe of course but if I was to pick a song I listen to regularly and never get bored with then I Am The Resurrection would probably be the one.

Love Creep, it's my go to song on the Karaoke.

It's never the best song ever though, Dont stop me now by Queen and Everyday by Slade tie for that accolade.

***Mr White*** · 18-10-2016 07:13 AM

I'm going to stick with my selection from the last such thread a couple of years back- pink floyd's echoes.

***sleeping giant*** · 18-10-2016 10:24 AM

Doors - LA Woman

Love Radiohead, Creep's a great song but it's not even their greatest song, never mind the greatest song ever (which is, obviously, Dr Jones by Aqua...)

Best Radiohead song, IMHO, is How to Disappear Completely or Paranoid Android, but there are plenty to choose from which stand up (virtually all of The Bends and OK Computer apart from the one with guest vocals from Stephen Hawkins).

Best song ever is Rock N Roll Star by Oasis.

***Hibbyradge*** · 18-10-2016 12:24 PM

Alison by Elvis Costello.

**hibs#1** · 18-10-2016 04:24 PM

Hey Now-Oasis at the moment anyway

Can change depending on my mood can't say I'm a fan of radio head right enough

I've no recollection of starting this thread. I'm currently on holiday staying in a log cabin. I can only think that the people in the adjoining cabin got to listen to a bit of Radiohead last night.

Superb choice mate.

**hibsbollah** · 20-10-2016 05:35 PM

Creep is indeed a stupendously good tune. But the best song of all time is Tom Waits' 'Grapefruit Moon'. Any of the other songs from the touched by genius Closing Time album will also do.

***Northernhibee*** · 21-10-2016 02:03 PM

There are at least twenty Radiohead songs better than Creep. Very good song but they have so much more interesting material.

And I'm seeing them at Glastonbury next year!
