Creed. If I did not know the backstory and only listened to them a couple of times, I would have picked them #1. They were everything right and wrong with POP music at that time, very catchy but very shallow.
only one band can unite this country at its' greatest time of need. let's see Fred do that. creed took us with arms wide open and gave the collective us the hug we needed.
The band, the city, the over-the-top production that they all take so seriously...man, what a masterpiece! My day is made.
I was going to wait to announce this but... My one-man experimental synth accordion Creed tribute band, Freddie Vedder, will be playing from Midnight to 2am at 3rd Base in Clear Lake next Tuesday night! Come out and see me, free harmonicas for everyone.
