The song "You Can't Quit Me Baby" by Queens of the Stone Age has a similar lyric but it's much much more haunting as Thom is singing it out of adoration while Josh is singing it from the perspective of a boy that is traveling to his ex girlfriend's house to kill her. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2bIlZJ9bcSFsNU Queens of the Stone Age - You Can't Quit Me Baby Also Jay, if you're reading this, what do you think of that bass line? 😎

[@allieren]

I feel like this was an anthem for us weird, angsty, alternative kids in the 90s. I definitely remember identifying heavily with it back then, and I still freaking love this song to this day. A very common song on my playlists. I have to be in the mood to listen to most Radiohead, but there’s no denying they were unique to the music scene in the 90s and influenced many artists who came after them. The lead singer is Thom Yorke and he also did some solo albums that I remember listening to in the mid-2000s. I think they were more experimental-sounding but I do remember liking some of his solo work.

[@troyturton8197]

are they also the band who did Nice Shot Man? The song about the politician who killed himself on live TV?

[@backcountryme]

@@troyturton8197 no, that wasn’t Radio Head. Filter did hey man nice shot.

[@AndyViant]

Agreed. It was never an easy thing to listen to, because it involved acknowledging so much about yourself that was wrong. Yet easier to accept what you are than pretend.

[@martianmonk]

@Tom That's so true. It relates to those feelings everyone gets , whether it's the deep dark insecurities or just being with someone or being somewhere where you feel like you are out of your depth. We hide it and hope nobody notices then Radiohead came along and it felt like they were singing an anthem just to you about all those secrets you'd kept. Loved it then and love it now.

[@nemo227]

This resonates with so many people because it's about a pretty common feeling in adolescence.

[@netazzz6815]

I always felt this song perfectly describes teenage angst, the way the feeling and emotions are all over the place, you want to fit in but also stand out and find your own way

I analysed this for an exam in a music class I took in University. The consensus was that the light and airy verses were his fantasy of how he wishes things were.

Accepting the reality means he could be equally happy with both things as they actually are AND things as he woud like them to be. Hence the realty sounding just like the fantsy.

Waited 3 desperate years for the follow up, bursting out of my skin, and was so so so thrown off by it it was devastating. I liked Amnesiac more but it wasn't a love affair, and I just ended up going down a blues rabbit hole for 6 years backwards until I was seeking out scratchy records from the 20's. Then in 2007 - by fate - I was flipping through channels and like a miracle truly, turned on at the exact moment it started, the original live airing on PBS of "In Rainbows: From the Basement." I was so checked out on my 'favorite band' I'd missed a whole album in 2003 and the whole free DL "In Rainbows" release...but the concert was so instantly blatantly brilliant, moving, mesmerizing, inspirational - I was absolutely admittedly surprised, in a good way, and shocked that they were still making music at this level, maybe even an even higher level, and unlike most of their best, it takes at least 2 or 3 listens - this hit me so hard I was knocked out of my coma, bough the album, it was amazing, and I began to go back....Hail to the Thief, and eventually Kid A, and realized I did love a handful of songs on it, but always skipped "The National Anthem" and Idioteche - like really? Many albums got this treatment - like I finally 'got' Spinning Plates, it is just why the people who love them do and it is nothing you can force on someone, it has to come naturally as it is such an individual thing.

This is a bit of a special song for me. When I was in apprenticeship school in the Navy, I was allowed on base liberty. I would go to a commissary/deli on base everyday for a breaded chicken sandwich with fries and a large soda. The first time I walked in, this song was being played on the jukebox. It hit me right in the face with it's weird, musical genius. Have it in my regular rotation to this day. Thanks for doing this song so I can see how others might appreciate it.

Thom Yorke has an incredible voice. Their catalog is one of the most influential of the past 30 years.

“Fake Plastic Trees” and “Street Spirit” really show his vocal abilities.

Fantastic song from a band that is so unique. Great song and such a cranking riff. The lyrics are excellent.

[@AcidBathFreakshow]

Please, for the love of the wee man his own self, if you want to do more Radiohead you need to do Street Spirit (Fade out). The song is amazing, dark and evocative and the video is outstanding in production and imagery.

[@markcraven8386]

I like when she says "that stroke...is when he gets to that dark thought". I can go along with her. Rob mirrors me when I listen to Creep, those aggressive attacks on Jimmy's Stratocaster. I love that part so much I watched several "how to play Creep" videos, and I don't even play guitar. Just wanted to see it being played since Radiohead doesn't play it any longer.

The whole OK Computer album is a masterpiece.

[@debbiejarvis5764]

OMG ...You have to hear Hailey Reinhart do the cover of this when she had ( Post Modern Jukebox) band playing for her. The band takes different artists to do covers of songs but turns them into a 1920s version. It's a must to watch and hear. You have to look it up ( Creep- Vintage Post Modern Jukebox Radiohead Cover ft Hailey Reinhart )..do the video.

[@dougphelps6917]

You have to hit the video of Post Modern Jukebox and Haley Reinhardt singing Creep... now that you have this fresh in your minds... you will thank us for requesting it.

[@tcish4708]

I've got to agree with this comment. Radiohead is completely worthy of a deep dive into their intensely personal catalog, but I am somewhat amazed that someone has not pointed you in the direction of PMJ and Haley Reinhart's equally intense and personal take on this work of musical art. So I'll gladly do the pointing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2TPd2WneqZlmdk

it's not so much about self loathing as it is about feeling unworthy of someone "so f-ing special". i think most of us have been there at one time or another which is why the song is so relatable.

Yes I think a few PMJ covers is just what we need. Since they just did this cover I thing PMJ Nothing Else Matters - ft. 15 Year Old Caroline Baran for the first song they watch. whatcha think? I also think they need to see Royals ft, Puddles BUT Haley Reinhart cover is a MUST.

Such a great song from my high school slash college years. You can hear the pain in Thom’s voice.

[@HectorGarcia-bu6lf]

Now, ain't that the truth Jay. It's amazing how one can grow by broadening one's musical horizons, one starts noticing the role of each instrument in a piece. Like when Amber compared the guitar shredding with going down the rabbit hole. Nicely done. With Radiohead, they did a lot of experimentation albums, they play nicely with music theory, and they can go deep. Not everyone's cup of tea. But they also have other well-known songs, still deep but very enjoyable for us still musically-impaired people.

[@dianecostanza]

The music of the generation at that time.

Thom Yorke - take a bow sir. No-one else could deliver this song with such emotion and feeling. 'I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul' - heartbreaking. Fake Plastic Trees and Iron Lung are both beautiful too. Huge rabbit hole to allow yourselves to sink into. Much love ❤️

[@claygilchrist632]

The racing lead guitar with the slower tempo and lyrics is just soo good!

[@benjiarehart2878]

I have followed Rob from the beginning. He may not be a musician, but he has the heart of one. I love how intensely listens to the song, including the lyrics. Amber joining made them my favorite reactors of both music, and movies. And yes, Thom Yorke can sing.

This song is always sung in singing competition shows and even karaoke. People love singing this song. It's so fun to watch the musical journey's you've both gone on. It's very satisfying to we who've known all this music forever. Thanks for taking us along with you!

Prince does a pretty amazing cover as well! Word is Thom wouldn't let Prince scub the Cochella cover from the internet since it was technically theirs lol.

Jay Damn right it’s FIRE!!! That’s Radiohead’s classic that 1st got EVERYONE’S attention!! This song is ICONIC!! It hits on so many levels!! The lyric expresses what so many can relate to .. The feeling of not being enough .. Cool enough Pretty enough Sophisticated enough … Then there’s the band … One of the best bands of the last 25 years … each player excels in his own right!! Then there’s Thom … The voice of an Angel who is able to sing in so many different ways… and he’s such a prolific performer who totally expresses the feeling of the outsider … Put it all together and you have the phenomenal band that is Radiohead! This song is so awesome that Prince covered it! Nuff said! 🥰

[@greggburke7796]

This is the song that actually cursed Radiohead because it was BY FAR their most successful single ever, and they spent the rest of their careers getting yelled at by record executives to make the next Creep. It was a success that they were never able to replicate. They had some smaller hits like Karma Police, and Paranoid Android, but they couldn't ever catch lightning in a bottle the way they did with Creep.

[@drg3712]

REM had similar issues. You just have to say FU to the record company (and to any fans) who demand a repeat and just do what you want to do. Both RH and REM did that (thankfully)

[@crystalsinnock7977]

Fake plastic trees and my iron lung. Karma police all good as well.

In the beginning people would go to their shows, they would play this song and people would leave. They didn't play this live for a long time

This is my theme song (along with Green Day’s “Basket Case”), and it changed my life. Thom’s vocals are perfect. The song just hits deep. I saw them five times, and I saw Thom with a side project twice. Never disappointed. I agree with many here that “Fake Plastic Trees” should be next. My favorite of theirs, though, is “Exit Music (for a Film)”. It is truly amazing. So glad you hit this one together. 💜💜💜
