I always sympathise with reactors hearing this for the first time , it’s like asking you to understand chess in one game .

[@danholmesfilm]

I don't pretend to get radiohead, but i get this song :)

[@anonymanonymus4706]

I heard this song for a whole year 2 times a day, every day, and I still feel like I'm missing something

[@thomasellis936]

I love love love Radiohead. I think they’re a special group but they did take some time to grow on me. Now I think they get better after every listen

[@ginafragata2947]

These are amazing ❤

[@pointblack808]

I remember how mesmerized I was by the song immediately, and I'm no Magnus Carlsen.

[@nicksneddon2396]

lock yourself away and listen to the whole album, arguably the greatest album of the 90s

[@aaronwolf3587]

My favorite band, if I had to pick one is Tool. But these guys are right there and this is possibly my favorite album from any band ✌️

[@thomasbarr5940]

No way ,would have to locked up and force fed this....tuneless

[@aaronwolf3587]

@@thomasbarr5940 I disagree with that comment. But each to his own ✌️

Pulp's different class was better

[@markdorman]

@@zaftra copies sold is a good indicator . Besides, this and pulp are in different ends of the spectrum. There is no comparison to be made. I loved Pulp and I love a different class as well but, there is no comparison to be made.

[@42Mrgreenman]

If I'm not mistaken, the song is a reference to a character from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams...Marvin the Paranoid Android...a perpetually depressed artificial intelligence who basically has a brain the size of a planet, but he is only given mundane tasks by the crew, so is never able to even use a fraction of his potential...thus he becomes perpetually apathetic, sarcastic, and depressed...

[@Simon0]

Imagine having a brain the size of a planet 🌍. Lol.

[@ROArecords2]

You are not mistaken.

[@decentsingersclub]

I think there are aspects of condescendence in the mix too; it is clear that Thom or the protagonist of the song views themselves as "in the right" (e.g. "with your opinion which is of no consequence at all") while everybody else are just androids, in the sense that they all live by social norms and worship consumerism (e.g. "kicking, squealing, Gucci little piggy" which is also a reference to an incident Thom witnessed at a bar); not only does Thom or the protagonist of the song disagree with these people, but they absolutely despise these people, as seen in the increasing hostility in the orchestration of the second part and the angst in Thom's vocals.

[@42Mrgreenman]

@@decentsingersclub Totally agree, as he sings in Creep, he always felt alienated (lol) and isolated, especially with his strabismus or whichever condition he actually has...it must have been so hard to fit in, and as a four-eyed nerd myself, I get it...but something happened in my 20's where the rejection of conventional wisdom in favor of my own understanding led me to this weird dedication to trying to understand everything...it may be an impossible task, but every time I learn something new, I get a shot of dopamine or adrenaline, hence why I guess I'm so quick to respond to your interesting comment...lol...

[@decentsingersclub]

@@42Mrgreenman That’s actually really relatable lol, my life changed drastically a few years ago and since then I’ve been obsessed with seeing through everything around me. You also raised a very good point, alienation is a big theme throughout Radiohead’s music (some would even say it’s the main theme of OK Computer), especially in Subterranean Homesick Alien. The thing I love Radiohead for the most is how from an artistic standpoint Thom writes music from his heart, he deeply feels the music, which is what makes their music ten times more authentic.

[@gablen23]

They have gone from being a "normal" rock band to one of the best bands in the world, while going through countless style changes, which is quite rare in rock music. And this album was the first big step towards.

[@decentsingersclub]

and what did they follow OK Computer up with? the greatest left turn in music history. and then they outdid themselves again in 2007. crazy.

[@steviefraser5240]

their music is so varied and diverse but always with their flavour. they pluck melodies from places you would never think to find them.. the musicality is insane.. if you like them at all you will love the back catalogue.

[@Spot-t]

"Let Down" is my next suggestion, I really love that you're doing Radiohead, glad you're enjoying it.

[@Womberto]

An absolute masterpiece that gets better every time you listen to it.

[@yannhollister9091]

The 90's Bohemian Rhapsody, absolute masterpiece. This band is on another level, Tool is the other superior band from the same era

[@Erotomania89]

What's so interesting about Radiohead and what me and other fans of the band really love is that they always evolve, from album to album. You cannot really pinpoint their style, because it has always been changing. They're just a super creative risk taking band, that don't fear giving their audience new surprises. They are also very experimental when it comes to sounds and soundscapes, always very carefully trying to capture or create a certain feel. In that way, they have become more than just a rock band. To me it's art. During the 90's they predominantly made these guitar driven songs, slowly going more experimental by each release, until the very epic left turn they did with the release of Kid A in 2000, where they suddenly came out with a more synth-heavy, electronic, artsy, sometimes even avant garde, kind of sound. In the beginning, by the time they released Creep, they were just a young rock band, doing what many of their contemporaries were already doing, then came The Bends with a similar sound but slightly more experimental, at least with the sounds, and then OK Computer (which is the album that Paranoid Android is from), even more experimental, but still within the rock realm, and since then it's been quite a journey through different kinds of sounds. My personal favorite album is 2007's "In Rainbows", which is an album where I think their artsy, avant garde side coincide perfectly with their pop/rock side of the 90's.

[@jameshannagan4256]

Well said.

[@Frankiecrboyd]

pretty much

[@oakleysmithmusic]

My son turned me on to Paranoid Androidlong before I heard Creep . I was a fan after hhearing the Android son. Good reacttion. I listened to the complete album after hearing Creep. It was awesome . Thats saying a lot from this old man .

[@alistairmcdougall8390]

No Surprises is a great track from the band with a very different vibe to the tracks you've played by Radiohead, I know you're snowed under with requests, but try not to let No Surprises pass you by, loving the content 👌

[@williamthelast1]

Jon Greenwood on guitar. Speachless !!! Very good from you to compare their songs to the Beatles ones. They are unique !!! Not grunge, not punk, never sad, just energy and music at their best !!!

[@waynecanning4122]

I think the song Let Down is sad.

[@williamthelast1]

@@waynecanning4122 Pardon me, but you're right. Some sad songs, but not that much. The band said, we're not a sad band at all. Rage, melancoly, madness, but not sad in their minds. Just don't accept life we all live !!

[@leighstreet8298]

Jon did the soundtrack for the movie, there will be blood.

[@willfromyadkinville]

"in my opinion" it was the best album from 1997 hands down! out of any genres! i have three copies 2 of which will never be played except in case of emergency!

[@anthonymanuge6237]

This song is mind blowing live. You should watch them play it live, it is always a special performance!

[@danielbutler2582]

They did a brilliant performance of this on Jools Holland. Well worth checking out on KZbin.

[@cyclops60]

I'm glad you listened to this without the video (which is great in a wierd way) as it would have been too distracting. They have evolved so much since 'Creep', it's a bit like going from 'See Emily Play' to 'Time' by Pink Floyd! Needs several listens to fully appreciate it, I highly recommend the live performance on 'Later with Jools Holland', just amazing!

[@KaptSuolisolmu]

This album as a whole. MASTERPIECE 🔥

[@salesasa3560]

The whole album (Ok Computer) is masterpiece!🔥

[@PishProductions1]

What a tune! What an album! When this came out even techno heads loved it. Genius! Classic! Timeless!

[@reallivebluescat]

Then Kid A came out

[@reallivebluescat]

(Yes i know much later)

[@aazo5]

I love how you mentioned noticing a "Beatles sound". I always argue that Radiohead is the Beatles of the 90's and 2000's but just without the supermassive appeal.

[@eZTarg8mk2]

Creep was written when they were just starting and were under studio control, so it's more generic and middle of the road in terms of the structure of the song (still a great song, but the band aren't particularly fond of it). Their next album "The Bends" was when they started to find their feet, it's a little more experimental, but still fit the indy brit pop/grunge style of music that was out at the time. OK Computer, they broke away from the studio influence and the whole album is noticeably different, and worth a listen to as a whole. It's very difficult to pigeonhold their style, as they mess with different genres, instruments and expected musical conventions...i guess it's kind of prog rock as they often use shifting time signatures, but you can find tracks that fit electronica like Idioteque, and then get hit with brass horn jazz a few songs later.

[@nicksneddon2396]

Creep is a terrible track

[@decentsingersclub]

My Iron Lung is a very good representation of their apatheticness towards Creep and their determination to drift away from Pablo Honey to find their own personal style it also foreshadows a lot of the experimental ways Radiohead would take their music later on

[@nessaseetah1805]

I dig that you don't pause a lot and facially express well as you hear it. Subscribed!

[@_portis]

from Creep to Paranoid Android, eh? that's a jump! this one is prob hard to absorb at first listen & not knowing where Radiohead were at at the time. This is from the album "ok computer", a genre bending important album - and on many a top 100 lists. Creep is their most straightforward track. Radiohead are the most popular experimental rock band in the world. to get their vibe, i recommend watching 15step from their "in the basement" session. It's still unconventional, but it's a good representation to get Radiohead's vibe.

[@Fatrickswayze17]

The best way to describe Radiohead is as our modern day Beatles. To get a full understanding of their talent, do yourself a favor and watch their live in the basement session.

[@anonymanonymus4706]

I like how they started with Creep and thought "That was a great introduction to them". Hearing Creep is the first stage of an average Radiohead enjoyer evolution process. Edit: To be clear, stage 1 out of hear every other radiohead album.

[@bashab3098]

When I 1st heard this I thought no way live , but they do it all on stage

[@cyclops60]

I thought the same, then I saw them do it on 'Later with Jools Holland' incredible!

[@ericgoodwinart]

Check out “Subterranean Homesick Alien” from the same album! Their music evolves in a crazy and unexpected way from album to album 🎶

[@brettschacht4183]

My favorite Radiohead track❤

[@gregoroque]

the fact that they can play this live nearly exactly as the record makes you appreciate this even more

[@TheOneAndOnlyFloridaMan]

I think this would be a good jumping off point to check out some Queens Of The Stone Age. Please try their song No One Knows when you get a chance!

[@TheBunnyb0y]

Nah this is a good jump off point to listen to more radiohead :3

[@gregstilwell7760]

IMO, the book that inspired the title (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) is one of the best books ever written.

[@johnplaysgames3120]

A few Radiohead songs I think you'll like (and which are closer to the "Creep" end of the RH spectrum): - Street Spirit (Fade Out) - Karma Police - Just

[@philbather6557]

One of the top live bands ever 👍

[@AuthorLaurieAnnSmith]

I love Radiohead! This is such a great song, and it is way better live. If you have time check out one of the live performances from BBC Jools Holland Later Archive 1997. They are each extremely gifted musicians and where you can see this is on the In Basement video "In Rainbows". I can't believe how musically gifted they are. I play guitar and study music and it just astounds me how good they really are. Thanks for the great reaction video.

[@Lauren-zg9zo]

Love watching and listening to people hear my favorite songs for the first time. It makes me appreciate if like the first time all over again.

[@kelst75]

They started with Pablo Honey. Graduated to The Bends, then graduated to OK Computer, then Kid A, then Amnesiac, then Hail to the Chief and there's still more but I'll stop there. Theyre incredibly productive and their sound consistently evolves. They're incredible

[@mekonium7843]

Love the mansplaining of what we all just heard, humorous.

[@maxx.mazzeo]

Ok Computer is a GENIUS album

[@christiandent7211]

He doesn’t have an accent he’s English

[@scotthedges7016]

I'd describe it as " Punk Floyd " ..... ❤

[@jameshannagan4256]

Keep up the Radiohead reactions I put them up there with the Beatles, Floyd and all the greatest bands I think they are the last great band from the band era which is over. Radiohead is like a genre unto themselves none of their records sound alike sometimes even the songs on the album have very different sounds.

[@notmyname4261]

I highly recommend Weird Fishes from the In Rainbows album. The song is about a bad relationship and being turned by another with all the associated guilt that brings. The music is brilliant as well. The live version from the basement is outstanding.

[@problemchimp4231]

Hated OK Computer, after The Bends...then adored it...Hated Kid A, after OK Computer...then adored it...rinse & repeat. Now, clearly, one of the greatest Bands ever...certainly in the last 30 years.

[@deanmaynard8256]

Paranoid Android is a reference to the novels of Douglas Adams (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy etc)

[@jd35711]

this may be the greatest track the 90s produced

[@LambriniSupernova]

The change in style through out Paranoid Android in my opinion is reminiscent of Bohemian Rapsody, although obviously very different style of songs

[@sfb1219]

Radiohead are the first musical philosophers... the greatest artist

[@simonwood3457]

Creep to this song was almost 10 years ! 85 to 94 , Dave grohl of nirvana and foo fighters said there was music before paranoid android and then ?

[@anonymanonymus4706]

I think every track on OK Computer is as good as Paranoid Android except Fitter Happier. Fitter Happier is perfect on another scale.

[@radone5896]

From the same era: 1990, The Cocteau Twins became very influential, pioneering new genres (dream pop, ethereal wave, shoegaze) are best described as Pink Floyd meets 'The Flower Duet' and were admired by Thom Yorke of Radiohead, The Cure and Prince who said he couldn't make the great music The Cocteau Twins made. I would highly recommend their magnum opus LP: 'Heaven or Las Vegas' and the title track therein; Heaven or Las Vegas' . Their music is layer upon layer of swirling organic guitar tones with the superb vocalist Liz Frazier spinning ethereal, siren-esque, soaring melodies that are layered and intertwine to make magic and has been called the voice of god by some. The entire LP 'Heaven or Las Vegas' is a major treat to listen to as a whole. As Canadians with good taste I would suspect you'll agree.

[@jorgekech]

The Cocteau Twins singer the most beautiful song was letdown by radiohead

[@trentboyd5919]

More Radiohead!

[@radiofoot1035]

You need to check out their post 2000s material, just as crucial to their soundscape as their 90s material

[@arnoldmojados399]

It's Radiohead Goat

[@garybradshaw5118]

Watch them do that live and fit all that together, amazing

[@slezakvit]

You're not right with one thing - this is one of few songs or even whole album which you can listen bilions of time and it won;t be boring... georgeous!

[@creativitycell]

First time I heard a Radiohead album i just passed after a few secs of each track listening to it in record store, my brain couldn't compute it as pleasurable! Then after catching up with the most accessible track CREEP a few years later I gave them another go to figure out what I had missed, and after listening to a whole album in a dark room my brain understood them more and it realised I was listening to something amazing but it was so different its difficult for the brain to understand when its used to normal rhythm music. Genius is always difficult to grasp at first because we are just not used to it! Radiohead are the closest to music as Abstract Art there probably is!😮

[@eumaeus]

If I may suggest, if you are to understand RH, you might like to review songs from albums in chronological order. Their first OK Computer is most certainly Grunge influenced, but it didn't demonstrate what they were capable of, what they would become and how much influence they would have on other bands; heck, it can be argued they saved rock! I highly recommend you go back one album to The Bends; arguably the greatest album in the history of music, period. Here you will hear their awesome soundscapes, incredible lyrics, music playing craftmanship and of course, vocals that stand apart from any other band. They are a band that others attempt to mimic but fail. They are incredible live. They are Radiohead and perhaps Britain's most important export. I love Radiohead.

[@DavidBatson]

A bit different than Creep isn't it? Radiohead has morphed and evolved so much from album to album. I love them so much. Honestly it's at toss-up between Radiohead and Tool as my favorite bands over my 40 years of life.

[@thomasellis936]

This is one of the very few albums where I can get away from any form of screen and just be taken away to a different place

[@neargrog685]

Priceless reaction. The look on their faces was like wtf are we listening to - while forcing themselves to head bop along to it 😂 It’s a lot of song to take in. I didn’t like it when I first heard it. Now I love it. That reaction though - the body might be moving but the face expressions don’t lie!

[@GrahamG76]

Ok Computer, wow, what an album!

[@voiceover2191]

It really is a song cobbled together from three parts of songs they were working on at the time. Worked out ok I think.

[@btj-oo8xc]

Straight out of the 'post rock' catalogue. See Talk Talk from 'Spirit of Eden' and 'Laughing Stock', Slint from 'Spiderland', Bark Psychosis' from 'Hex'

[@FCYT]

Great song, but you have to watch the version from the Jools Holland Show, its the perfect performance. Stunning.

[@joebarrera9741]

Masterpiece

[@planr5572]

What style do they lean more towards, Creep or Paranoid Android? It's neither and kind of both. They rock out in all kinds of interesting ways. If you dig the Beatles, you will dig Radiohead.

[@LauPulstar]

that is why this song was called by some the "bohemian rapsodhy" of its era...because of all the changes and different parts of the song

[@stormhawk3319]

The greatest English Rock song of the 1990s.

[@slezakvit]

I would class them as prog rock but thats just me. Glad you mentioned Bohemian Rhapsody though; there are definite similarities between that and this. I like to think of Radiohead as my generations pink floyd. You know its them but they seem to embrace change in every album.

Thod is a hrunge band or just another 90s band. Theyve cone to become one of the greatest bands ever , even in the conversation for the G.O.A.T by some crotice and music nerds.

[@annabulgariu3707]

This is almost a transhumanistic sound.. though the band have really heave anti technology themes.. but what I'm saying is they blend electronic sounds with what would you call a more "organic sound" so perfect that's almsot impossible to tell the difference at some point. It remains the best album ever made... alongside dark side of the moon.. this whole album is like a complete rejection of technology but we are so consumed by it that we slowly accept the fact that it's becoming a part of us.. hence the title.. ok computer
