They just exude suckiness. I think part of it is the posturing (which lots of rock bands could be accused of) - they try so hard to be sincere. Maybe they think they are, but I don't buy it. Maybe it's because they're from Florida. What has Florida given us? The 2 Live Crew, Limp Bizkit, and Creed. Not a great track record. Musically, their music consists of bonehead cock rock riffs and vapid, "spiritual" vocals. Even though rock & roll is all about ripping off those who came before you, bands (like Creed) that play repackaged grunge (read: Pearl Jam) and front like they;re original are bothersome.
Re: what is it about creed?
I hope that made sense...
