No Creed But... Well, How About Just No Creed
Since Sadly, No! has sullied my morning by reminding me of the existence of early 00s musical travesty, Creed, whose popular success may be the strongest evidence against capitalism of my lifetime, I may as well mention that, in a contest of awesomely bad movies, one reason I’ll always pick the Blade series over the Underworld films is that Scott Speedman, who plays the vampire-werewolf combo dude, bears an incredibly creepy resemblance to Creed’s leather pants-wearing frontman, Scott Stapp. That sort of thing flies alright when your name is Luke Wilson, and you’re making movies like Bottle Rocket (plus are just generally awesome). But if there’s one thing in life that’s important to me, it’s keeping my werewolf-zombie battle films as Creed-free as possible.
This post made me chuckle gently to myself.

My husband and our pastor like Creed. I tell them there’s a certain desperation behind their songs that it’s more comfortable to avoid, especially now that the little boy who was welcomed with arms wide open is the child of a broken home.

While I can’t think of anything good to say about Creed, there are WAAAAAY too many infinitely worse bands out there to justify the level of hatred they inspire.

Has anyone ever settled the argument about if they are a Christian band or not?

Creed songs are poetry for guys who don’t like poetry. They definitely have fans.

The largest reason for Creed hatred is their inexplicable success. Plenty of other bands were and are worse. I can’t think of any other bands who are worse that sold over 10 million copies of an album and were played once an hour on every rock/pop station for five years.

Dude, Creed was totally late 90s. Get your bad-alternative-rock eras straight.
