Please allow me to beat this dead horse a little more.....
I realize as I grow older that hating music is pretty ridiculous.... I mean there are so many more worthwhile things to hate in this world.
But still, I manage to get pissed off a little bit when I hear Creed.
The thing is, though, I KNOW ALL THE DAMN WORDS, at least to the songs they play on the radio TWICE AN HOUR. I mean, I'm pretty sure that Linkin Park sucks, but I don't think I've listened to one of their songs up to the chorus, you know.
"Just change the station, man, this is America, there's plenty of other stations...."
I know, but the thing is, if I don't maintain constant vigilance, I inevitably find that I have listened to "Arms Wide Open" or "Six Feet From The Edge" nearly all the way through without realizing it.
So I guess my point is, they're actually pretty good, in a way. I mean for music to stand out to the point where it actually gets on your nerves, it has to be catchy, tuneful and well-constructed.... It isn't necessarily easy to make catchy, tuneful, well-constructed music, especially not for several albums in a row like Creed has. In the end, the only thing to do I guess is give them credit and spend my money elsewhere, you know... Ignore them and maybe they'll go away like somebody else said...
