"Creep"-Radiohead

Creep by Radiohead is an awesome song. It is very 90's sounding and is definitely a rock song. Radiohead strayed from rock and became very experimental later in their career. This song was at the beginning so it falls a lot more in the vein of Rock. The guitar effects are very grungy and dated in a really cool way. The lyrics are a lot darker than most rock music. This song goes softer and quiet in the beginning and then for the chorus goes all out with the guitar and vocals. This song portrays a mood and feeling super well. Something that their later more experimental albums perfect. In the song the lyrics are very self deprecating to the point its almost like self-harm, which is a common theme with grunge and 90's alternative. This is a really good song and I would highly recommend.

It shows how strict the religion was then and how much bigger a part it played in the culture back then. I feel that the integration of church music into popular music has been for the most part successful. ...
