I may be wrong but I swore that they hated it when the crowd sings along, thats why they hardley ever play it...Its considered an insult in other countries to sing and yell while bands are expressing their souls onstage....I may be wrong but thats what I heard.
They hate playing this song because it's success nearly destroyed them. While contractually obligated to tour for nearly two years, they were unable to record any of the new material they were writing, and found this extremely frustrating. During one show, the crowd kept shouting for them to play Creep, even though they'd already played it. It was the only song they were known for, completely over-emphasised, and they found this very stifling. They grew to resent the song. And it was this drive to get away from it that brought us OK Computer.
A good book to read on Radiohead is "Radiohead-Hysterical and Useless" by Martin Clarke. It gives lots little tid bits, as well as some pretty good insight into how they actually became such world-class musicians.

Ummm.... Not sure why my quote was linked to this article, but I guess that means I am now obligated to reply. Perhaps I wasn't clear; of course I don't think they'll NEVER play it again. I was simply trying to explain why there are such deep issues with the song.
Seriously, if you don't believe me, read the book, and watch Meeting People Is Easy. The bit where Thom plays 'Creep' VERY sarcastically is freaking hilarious.
