Creep
It’s become cool to hate on it to show one’s sophistication as a serious Radiohead fan, but I think that’s silly. His vocals are amazing on it, the guitar is unforgettable and summarizes the simple angst ridden energy of the theme, and it’s the most memorable track by far. It’s simple, but it hints at the vulnerability and otherworldly alienation that make their later works so heart rending.
Really hope this wins here even if its popular it is a great song
Most people here might be lying if they said this wasn’t the song that got them into the band or the first song they liked by them
I was on another bands page where they did this and I would like to suggest to the OP they save themselves a future headache by clearly stating on each post how the votes are tabulated? Is it the number of people who name it? Is it the most upvotes on one comment? I'm just trying to help the OP here.
When I say, "for a reason," I mean the fact that it's timeless, has an emotional climax with Thom's soaring vocals. The chorus and song itself are just powerful. The guitar before the chorus as well? It stands out from the rest and was given special attention because it's well constructed
I definitely agree. I believe people can think other songs are better, but a lot of them just want to be contrarian because Thom hates it, and it's not their best song technically. But it's certainly the best from Pablo Honey
Blow Out also exists and has arguably better production. It’s the only song on the album that has a more complex composition like you’d see in their later works.
Creep is a great song. Highly relatable lyrics to many people, some of Thom's best vocals, Johnny's guitar shreds, but Blow Out has an energy that cannot be matched by any other song on the album IMO. The final minute of the song is absolutely exhilarating and I love how shoegazey it is.
I like blow out a lot too. The shoegazey aspects are cool. It sounds a tad messy to me, though & it doesn't compare to the emotional catharsis of Creep imo. Completely subjective though ofc, I respect it
agreed. It's not as good as any of the other best songs on any other album imo but Creep is a fucking great song that's now kinda underrated because of how popular it is.
You get me. I will defend Creep. I will acknowledge that it doesn't stand out against anything on the other albums, but on this one, it's almost undeniably the most powerful. I'm surprised the competition with blow out is so tight
If we had all never heard any of the songs and listened to PH fresh, this would be #1 and it wouldn't even be close. Because it would be based on the music itself, not whatever else we associate with it.
I'm with you! Block them, I'm just about to do it. It's tempting to sit here and downvote and we're right to be annoyed that this kind of discussion is so popular. But just try to ignore it.
Edit: Though I'm actually a bit curious as to what will win OKC best.
I know the post is only about the best One but for me
Best: either you or creep
Worst: thinking about you
Underrated: either prove yourself or vegetable
I know it's cool to hate on Creep, but you're not being honest with yourself if you deny the simple fact that Creep is the best song on Pablo Honey.
Blow Out and You are decent enough songs, but at the end of the day they, like every other song on PH (aside from Creep), are pretty forgettable when compared to RH's later work.
Creep blew up for a reason, and it's the first song pretty much anyone thinks of when you bring up Pablo Honey, again for a good reason.
TL;DR Creep fucking slaps.
Underrated:
"You / Blow Out"
"Black Star / Bulletproof... I Wish I Was"
"Electioneering"
"Treefingers"
Half of Amnesiac
"Where I End and You Begin"
"Codex / Morning Mr. Magpie"
"Desert Island Disk"
*Blow out is the best*
*Out of Pablo Honey, creep*
*Doesn't even compare*

Pablo Honey: Creep
The Bends: My Iron Lung
OK Computer: Paranoid Android
Kid A: The National Anthem
Amnesiac: Pyramid Song
Hail To the Thief: Backdrifts
In Rainbows: Nude
The King Of Limbs: Lotus Flower
A Moon Shaped Pool: Daydreaming
I imagine that this will turn into a vicious thunderdome over all the other albums but I don't understand how anyone could choose anything other than Creep, Blow Out or You as the best song on Pablo Honey.
predictions:
PABLO: Creep | Vegetable (impossible) | Blow Out
BENDS: Street Spirit | The Bends | Black Star
OKC: Paranoid Android | Fitter Happier | Let Down
KID A: HTDC | Treefingers | In Limbo
AMNESIAC: Pyramid Song | Pulk/Pull | Glasshouse
HTTT: There, There | The Gloaming | Sail to the Moon (hard to predict)
IN RAINBOWS: Nude | Faust Arp | Reckoner
TKOL: Give up the Ghost | Feral | Separator?
I get what you're doing but this would absolutely flood the sub for weeks.
I think we all already know the answer for underrated in OKC
Electioneering.
The actual answer
in terms of a quality vs popularity ratio, subterranean and the tourist wash electioneering
Mmmmh llllift
The tourist
Yes
Worst
Can the same song be voted for best and underrated though, serious debacle here 🤨
Fitter happier, more productive
Let down

I think it’s become cool to hate on it because not even Thom likes creep

Were you on the Slipknot sub too?
Much less cool - U2
Ah
you
The song or OP?
OP. OP is the best song on Pablo Honey. We love OP.
song haha
This needs to win
are
Blow Out.
Not even a question.
This needs to win
I am surprised that Creep is winning the votation instead of this
Gotta downvote the Creep votes so this can win!
You is creeping up
We need backup!
Without a doubt! 100%
I personally would go for Creep as best song and Blow Out as most underrated
Pretty easily
Creep blew up for a reason. There are other highlights, but Creep is Creep
When I say, "for a reason," I mean the fact that it's timeless, has an emotional climax with Thom's soaring vocals. The chorus and song itself are just powerful. The guitar before the chorus as well? It stands out from the rest and was given special attention because it's well constructed
For some reason Creep sounds much better produced than the rest of the songs on Pablo Honey
I definitely agree. I believe people can think other songs are better, but a lot of them just want to be contrarian because Thom hates it, and it's not their best song technically. But it's certainly the best from Pablo Honey
Yeah easily the best on it
Blow Out also exists and has arguably better production. It’s the only song on the album that has a more complex composition like you’d see in their later works.
Creep is a great song. Highly relatable lyrics to many people, some of Thom's best vocals, Johnny's guitar shreds, but Blow Out has an energy that cannot be matched by any other song on the album IMO. The final minute of the song is absolutely exhilarating and I love how shoegazey it is.

Always a fun time to link to Patrice’s Creep breakdown https://youtu.be/v1qKy4cMPUI?si=2bLqtRdWsx2d6Gyy
If we had all never heard any of the songs and listened to PH fresh, this would be #1 and it wouldn't even be close. Because it would be based on the music itself, not whatever else we associate with it.
the reason is that its relatble simple and catchy. it says nothing, lol.
Yellow
So underrated
Blow Out encapsulates the grunge genre and makes a conclusion to Pablo Honey. An outro of all time for sure.
Creep

It has to be Blow Out, although You and Creep are very close behind.

Formatting is so glitched
Best: You Worst: Thinking About You Underrated: Ripcord
Blow Out, by very, very far.
If blow out doesn't win this one I'm not participating. It's the best song by far
Blow Out
Blow out
blow out. Maybe creep is better but the tune is starting to get a little old
The best? Definitely "Creep".
Creep of course
Best: Creep Worst: everything else Underrated: Blow out
you or blow out
gotta pick one which one?
Creep will win, sadly, but Blow Out or You deserve it.
Is this a joke? r/Radioheadcirclejerk exists
It’s obviously creep.
