I don't see what's so bad about those STP lyrics.

I had Chino XL in mind when I posted this thread, as well as "Negative Creep" by Nirvana.

I like Stone Temple Pilots. "Creep" is something I really wish they'd never recorded.

The Afghan Whigs' version of TLC's "Creep" is a very interesting take, and I love how well the song works both as alt-rock and with a male singer, but it doesn't even come close to the unforced crazysexycoolness of the original.

But Radiohead's "Creep" is just absolutely perfect, a song that distills self-loathing down to its bare essentials and kinda makes every song written after it on the same subject unnecessary. One of the great novelty rock hits of all time.

And personally, I think The Whigs' version of "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" trumps their "Creep" by miles.

I really don't like Radiohead's "Creep". Really, everything they released circa Pablo Honey can go fuck itself as far as I'm concerned.

see "Cyclo" and you might change your mind.

Nirvana "Negative Creep"

Bush Tetras seconded.

The Fall trumps them all.

TLC and the Fall's songs are good, Radiohead's isn't, didn't like the Whigs' version, not heard STP or Dannii Minogue's.
