On 22 February 1993, Radiohead released their debut studio album “Pablo Honey” featuring singles "Creep" "Anyone Can Play Guitar" and "Stop Whispering". It is less acclaimed than Radiohead's later work, though some retrospective reviews have been positive. "Creep" remains Radiohead's most successful single.
In 1998, Pablo Honey was voted the 100th best album of all time in a poll held by Virgin and 61st in a poll by Q. The journalist Colin Larkin placed it 301st in the third edition of All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000). As part of its 2014 list of "1010 Songs You Must Own", Q included "Lurgee" and "Blow Out" in a list of 20 essential lesser-known Radiohead songs. In 2006, Classic Rock and Metal Hammer named Pablo Honey one of the 20 greatest albums of 1993. In 2008, Blender ranked it 82nd in its list of "100 Albums You Must Own".
