It’s included on the 1986 album Parade.

Bohemian RhapsodyQueen

It’s a single released by Queen in 1975, included on the album A Night at the Opera released the same year.

CreepRadiohead

Included on the 1993 album Pablo Honey.

The band members themselves apparently don’t like this song, and the album doesn’t seem to be highly regarded by fans either.

However, the song’s popularity remains strong for reasons unrelated to that.

Perhaps it’s the way it’s sung—holding back a searing, boiling emotion—that draws people in.
