I think they were just played to death on mainstream radio. Same thing with Nickelback and Hoobastank - they've all come to symbolize the sound of mass-produced, Clear Channel rock. I don't think they're the worst band ever, but I change the channel whenever they come on.

I don't like Creed because they sound like everything else out there to me. I've only heard one Nickelback song, which again sounded like everything else. I've never heard Hoobastank.

To me it's not that Creed is untalented, I don't know if they are or not. I just know that I don't like their sound.

I have been wordering about this for a while now. Why exactly is there so much negative sentiment towards Creed? From a purely musical standpoint they sound like a normal radio pop rock band like nickleback or hoobastank but yet you do not hear nearly as much negativity about those bands. Because I have never seen Creed live in concert, I cannot attest to their true musical ability. Do people hate them because they just suck as a band or because of some other reason (i.e. people hating limp bizkit because fred durst is an asshole)?
That's why.
