Skip	Probably the only song that can make a grown man cry. Beautiful. added: 02/15/2004, 09:34 PM

"Probably the only song that can make a grown man cry. Beautiful." Ignore this fool. This song is the shit, but it won't make you cry. If you cry listening to this song, you really are a creep.

How can you say that listening to this song wouldn't be able to make someone cry? Think about it. This person is so depressed and down on himself, that he calls himself a weirdo and a creep. He wants the other person to notice when hes not around... Idiot

If you cry to a song about a loser, you are a pansy. Your the idiot, either you are a female or gay. YOU DON'T CRY TO SONGS! Thats asinine! Go fight in Iraq, or do something productive before you cry at a song like this one.

One of Radiohead's greater older songs. Greenwood shows teen insecurities in this one. It's hot. I love it.

Sam Dyer, scratch47

No thanks. I'd rather not fight a stupid, phony war. And this song is mediocre at best, Radiohead were definitely in some kind of embryonic state circa Pablo Honey. Too genre methinks.

The first song I heard by Radiohead. I don't know the vocalist's name, but he's very talented, and the lead guitarist and the drummer both do an excellent job of building suspense in this song.

man, it's made everyone i know cry, practically.

just about everyone can relate to this song.

"some people are emotional" Lol, I guess so. I mean, shit, cry about men dying in Iraq, cry about a song about some guy that sounds like a pedophile? Dude. Save your fucking tears for an important subject, like war or starving children. Shit.

People are different. Some people would rather die than face rejection. Some people would rather face rejection than die. Obviously some people take rejection easier than participating in a war. Obviously some people would rather be killedin action if they were rejected by a person they obsessed over.

Personally, I'd say rejection and death are equally scary to me. This song is about rejection to the extreme. I don't know if it reflects any of Thom's actual experiences (He would have to know them to really sing about them authentically), but obviously when he likes someone in a romantic sense, he likes them in an obsessive nature. An unhealthy obsession, which, as written in this song, can all come crashing down. Perhaps some of the people who argue tears should be saved for war atrocities haven't had an obsessive relationship; for those who don't believe in crying to this song, have you ever obsessed over someone for years only to be told, "no"?

Great classic by Great Britain's Radiohead. I also heard the acoustic version of it.

I hate it when people reveal their deep-seeded resentment of the opposite sex via a song comment.

This is the most over rated Radiohead song. This song is nothing compared to the greatness of songs like "Subterranean Homesick Alien," "Paranoid Android," "Exit Music...," or even "You". It is sad to see a band such as Radiohead get classified by a song like Creep. It is no wonder why they never play it live anymore, since most people who don't get Radiohead adore this song.

i dont know what's more annoying... a bunch of morons arguing over what to cry about or stuck-up, pretentious radiohead fans deeming this song awful just because it's their most famous one. this song is a fantastic rock song and, despite radiohead's more "creative" music that they now come up with, this song is still one of their best and strongest works of art. i think radiohead lost the ability to write strong, potent songs after OK Computer and resorted to throwing random ideas and abstract words together, because they know that anything pulled out of thom yorke's ass will automatically be considered "genius." i'm not saying their newer stuff is good, i just think the first three albums are a lot stronger as far as songs are concerned.

good song. period. oddling, you need to get a fucking life, jesus. what the hell is the point of arguing about a song? it obviously hits some people harder than others & if you don't like it, then stop your fucking whining & gofuckyourself.

Phillips Exeter Blue 2nd

This is what people pisses me off,

This is a very good radiohead song, in fact I diddnt even KNOW it was radiohead untill 5 seconds ago when I looked up "creep"

People are so dumb that a basicly put a song up on a crusifix cuz because its in the public eye

GET OVER IT JACKASSES,
just because a song is popular, dosent mean it cant be good!

I'm not even into this genre of music really, but when I first heard this I just fell in love with it. I don't think its overrated at all. Its just very cool and moody. Its like one of the few songs I will never get tired. I'm convinced anybody would like it.

the exotic birds

As much as I hate to say this, Radiohead will ALWAYS be known for this song. Yes, I agree there are other amazing Radiohead tracks, but you can't deny the fact that "Creep" is a good track. B/c, well, it just is a damn good one.

it's a good one, but not one i really listen to a lot... just not a favorable one...

This song is the fucking meaning of life! ok, Im kidding, but I love this song, I fucking love it, I related to it the very first time I heard it and that was a billion years ago, I love it!!!

I don't really care for Radioheads later stuff. Either way, this still remains a fantastic song, and their are some great covers of it out there too. None of them match of with the original though.

Hehehe, Radiohead will always be known for this song.

I got a version of The Blowers Daughter by Damien Rice where he sings a portion of this song afterwards, and I have to say that what he sings is better than the original. I just wished that he sang the entire song though.

I'm going to put it out there and say that nobody really cares.

blackbird.

Yeah, nobody does and her comment made me nauseated.

Anyway, this song is incredible. I love the lines, "You're so fucking special. I wish I was special." Very inspiring, for me. Its not their best song, but its up there.

This is a beautiful song by Radiohead. For some reason, though, it seems that the band doesn't wish to embrace it. Their call, but I feel better for having received it.
