Most of the Creed haters I know say when they hear a Creed song on the radio they change the station. And Read, you are so right. They will mention other bands they like that have very similar sounds to Creed. The three or four who give me grief for my love of Creed say they can't stand Scott Stapp and his so-called posturing. What I think is that they have bought into the media bashing and the Christian band perception. When I try to defend their hard-rock side, the bashers laugh at me. I try to get them to tell me how many songs they have heard, and they only mention some of the lighter radio songs. The whole thing is weird. I think there are a lot of closet Creed fans, who say they hate the band, but probably have the CDs, which would explain the record sales. I think it's just hip to be a Creed hater for some reason.
