The band Creed has become synonymous with butt rock and ham fisted power balladry, often mentioned in the same breath as Nickelback as one of the worst rock bands of the 2000's, if not ever. While this is a popular position on the internet nowadays, Creed's stratospheric album sales -- 53 million records sold worldwide, and 28 million in the US alone -- hint at a different story, that in fact, a whole lot of people liked them during their brief run from 1997 to 2002.

With nearly 20 years passed since the bands initial dissolution, how does Creed hold up today? Trent and Aaron attempt to answer this question, along with their friend Chris Haney, a regular Fort Worth Music Club participant and avid Creed fan. The conclusion? Creed was a much better band than they get credit for, and filled a melodic hole in an overly dreary post-grunge landscape with more range and songwriting prowess than most of their contemporaries.
