The alternative band Radiohead just digitally released their brand new album, The King of Limbs (2011). In honor of that I thought I'd look back at Radiohead's very first single "Creep" taken from their debut album, Pablo Honey (1992). "Creep" has become one of the band's most revered and covered songs. Guitarist/Keyboardist Jon Greenwood has stated that the song was inspired by a girl that lead singer Thom Yorke had followed around who showed up unexpectedly during a show by the band. Upon the song's initial release, Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood were given co-writing credits due to the song's similarities to their 1974 hit song "The Air That I Breathe". "Creep" has been covered by many artists during their own live performances including: Prince, Moby, Ingrid Michaelson and Korn. Below is the list of the Top 10 "Creep" covers.
