I've been a fan of Pearl Jam for 10 years and a fan of Creed for about 8 or 9. I STILL don't see what the big Creed/PJ similarity argument is about. I agree with the poster above Me - Scott sounds like Scott; Eddie sounds like God -- I mean Eddie. There's no real similarity in their sound to Me, except that they're both dudes that sing in the same vocal ranges. Wow, big fuckin' deal.

Honestly, I don't care who hates Creed. Music is a personal thing, and if the band doesn't mesh with an individual, then that's the end of that. There's no contesting that, because it's unique to each individual. People that diss Creed for the sake of dissing them, however, still make Me roll My eyes and walk away. There's no good reason to rag on them; they had a good run while it lasted, their music has provided quite a bit of inspiration and such for their fans, and the musicians do NOT suck.

But I cannot agree with everything in the first post.

Pearl Jam wishes they had guitarist with the talent of a Mark Tremonti
No, they don't.

Creed blew the doors off everyone and dominated rock music till their breakup...There was no competition for them
Dominated? Nah. They had a good run, as I said. They had some SERIOUS hits, two of which are pretty much household names by now. Pretty much everyone knows who Creed is, no matter how they feel about them. But I can't say they dominated much of shit. That term is too strong. As for competition, it depends on the arena.

1.) I am not taking shots at pearl jam(I am a huge fan)
2.) The only reason Creed isnt putting out hit after hit still today is because they broke up..they did not fade away...Creed was unique...Just like Pearl Jam....
3.) Yes while Stone Gossard is a heck of a musician...I think Tremonti has accomplished much in his young career thus far and has eclipsed the success that pearl Jams guitarist had....I have many Pearl Jam Cds and own every Creed cd...I just prefer Tremontis soloing...He just sounds far superior musically is an unbelievable shredder...He is amazing in Alter Bridge....
4.) Creed Rocks!!
