Mark might be good, but what does he have to show for it? Creed? That band didn't exactly showcase his prowess on the 6-string, and I imagine that most critics probably wouldn't even think of considering a member of any of the late wave of post-grunge artists (nickelback, default, the calling, etc. etc. etc., even if their guitarists truly aren't as good as mark). Alter Bridge? Although a handful of songs do demonstrate his shredding ability, they've put out one album, and one that was hardly a commercial success. Yes, I know bands don't need commercial success to be truly awesome, but it just seems to me that everything non-Stapp from Creed just dropped off the radar pretty much after 2004.
