Admit it, who here liked Creed?

[wildojinx]

Did anyone here actually like the music of Creed? I thought their first two albums were good, if a bit generic. However, I, like most Americans got really sick of "Higher" and "With Arms Wide Open" around 2000, and what i heard of the third album sounded pretty much like nothing but overblown ballads. I did hear good things about their "comeback" album Full Circle, but Alter Bridge was still much better (and not just because they did Edge's theme song).

[MGH]

I totally did back in the moment.

[Ben Wyatt]

Creed gets more flak than they deserve.

[Spider2024]

Oddly enough, the most recent song I listened to on YT was from Creed. So, yeah. I probably couldn't listen to those two overplayed songs you mentioned today. But they've got good stuff.

[Phosphor Glow]

Not really. I always thought the band was talented, but Scott Stapp is kind of the worst.

Alter Bridge, on the other hand, is goddamn amazing.

I still love "Higher".

"My Own Prison", "One" and "What's This Life For" are their best songs though.

[H-Virus]

I liked 'My Sacrifice', only because of those old WWE videos.

[Crusty Ruffles]

"What If" is an amazing song.

[Orange]

Creed is amazing and reminds me more of my childhood than any other band. Like slickness said, Creed got and gets way more flak than they deserve.

[ICBM]

I'll admit it freely. Not my favorite but I liked their stuff. I can't listen to "with eyes wide open" anymore. It never made sense until the words lined up with something touchie in my own life and I just don't like to hear it anymore. I hear Higher and I remember advertisements for Titan AE. The movie wasn't that bad but it wasn't that good either. I just enjoyed how five seconds in they pulled a huge shocker and nobody saved the day. Most movies before that always had a savior or ret-conned so they didn't have to do the unthinkable.

[Unaffiliated]

Agree that Alter Bridge is definitely better, but Creed has a lot of good songs, too. Not too fond of their two biggest hits (Higher and With Arms Wide Open) though.

While I can understand most of the major criticism against them, it seems the widespread hate, much like with Nickelback, was more of a "meme" than genuine disdain.

[salz4life]

I liked Creed Bratton

[Koda, Master Crunchyroller]

I like "Higher" and "My Sacrifice"

But yeah, Alter Bridge is better.

[wakko]

I own and listen to their first 3 albums still. Not ashamed to admit it.

[Giul T.]

I like them, but I don't go out to find their music.

[Mozenrath]

Not my thing so much, but Alter Bridge is neat. I like them more than a lot of bands people shit on. Let's be real, they're no Brokencyde.

Also, My Sacrifice was perfect for the WWE video packages.

[wildojinx]

They had some decent album tracks too, like In America and Unforgiven (from My Own Prison) and Beautiful and Faceless Man (from Human Clay).

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

What If and My Sacrifice are great songs. They're not an underrated gem or anything, but I think Stapp's posturing gave them a worse rep than they deserved.

[Deleted]

They were okay. Nothing great, nothing terrible.

Fun fact: I once pretended like Creed was the shit so that I could get it on with this chick that was into them.

[Deleted]

I'm like the Michael Keaton in The Other Guys of Creed references.
