That's some funny shit. I'm sorry, but there is no way on earth that Stapp could hit the notes in AB's songs, especially in a song like Find the Real. He also doesn't have the power Myles has, either. As someone else said, you can prefer one over the other (frankly, I enjoy both), but technically speaking, Myles is head and shoulders above Stapp.
There were plenty of bands that set the bar for drawing fans way before Creed, the Grateful Dead for one, Pearl Jam for another, Metallica, the list goes on. Metallica is still selling out stadiums. Creed's shows, by the end of the Weathered tour, were drawing half to three-quarter full arenas.
