10 Singers Who HATE Their Own Songs
2. Thom Yorke - Creep
It may be Radiohead's most successful single, and one of their most beloved songs, but the group absolutely despises it. The band's hatred of this song knows no bounds.
While other artists grow to dislike songs after their growth in popularity, Radiohead hated Creep from the beginning, and its popularity has only added fuel to that raging fire.
When it was being recorded, guitarist Johnny Greenwood hated the song so much that he tried to sabotage it by hitting the guitar extra hard, which backfired and resulted in those iconic guitar stabs.
The band refused to play the song live for years, and lead singer Thom Yorke would curse at audience members who requested it and leave the stage.
Yorke hates the song the most, despite (or because of) being the one who wrote it, and has referred to the song by his alternate title for it, "Crap." He's had some choice words to say about the tune and fans who love it, which I'm not going to repeat here because...yikes.
