Because the tone of the version on Pablo Honey just sounds like typical 90's rock with self loathing lyrics, but the acoustic version is actually pretty beautiful.

If it was so typical for its time, why was British radio hesitant to play it because of how damn depressing it was? It was one of the first of it's kind, and it strikes chords with a lot of people, including me. It takes music AND lyrics to get me sad, and Creep achieves that.

Because the British radio were use to Britpop songs like "Wonderwall" by Oasis. But in the states its sounded like everything else that was happening with the grunge scene.

Yes, but my point was that just because it was part of a grunge "sad song" movement doesn't make it any less potent.

I have to agree that "Creep" doesn't strike me as a sad song....especially the album version....the chorus is too resounding to really draw you in....it's more of a "loser" anthem than a sad song imo.

I don't find it depressing at all.
