 | | Radiohead's "Creep" has been that song for me recently, and, evidently, for a lot of other folks as well. |
 | | Tuesday's set boasted some enrapturing Velvet Underground-like drones and a number of wondrous, corkscrew guitar eruptions in songs like "Ripcord," "Blow Up," "Vegetable" and "Pop Is Dead." The guitars etched out a churning, hypnotic mantra-like quality and Radiohead pulled off that old post-punk trick of turning angst and frustration into rock 'n' roll bliss. |
 | | "Creep" has a couple of unerring melodic hooks, a soft-to-slashing transition (including a neat guitar stutter-spurt that anticipates the blitz) and a charming, Bowie-esque little-boy-lost overtone in Yorke's falsetto vocal. |
