2. 'Creep'
When "Creep" hit MTV in 1993, Radiohead seemed destined to be another One Hit Wonder alt-rock band. At best, they'd wind up like Better Than Ezra and "Creep" would be their "Good." The band had a dislike for the song from pretty early on (those famous guitar scratches are Jonny Greenwood trying to mess up what he thought was a boring song) and they even wrote "My Iron Lung" about how much they hated playing the song over and over again during their early days. After OK Computer broke big they pretty much stopped playing it, though it started to pop up on setlists a lot over the past five or so years. Yorke says it's been so long that the song almost feels like a cover song at this point. They even started opening with the song on their 2009 tour, guaranteeing that fans wouldn't drive them crazy by yelling for it all night.
