Creed, along with Nickelback, will be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Shame.

Calling Creed a Pearl Jam ripoff s an insult to Pearl Jam.

You posters are hilarious. Hang tight my friends. It's not up to you to judge unless you're willing to open you're own life to be judged. Throw down or shut up.

Casper have you even listened to Creed? Nonsense? Listen to My Own Prison then post your comment idiot.

All of you Creed haters wish you had a quarter of the talent that Creed guitarist and main songwriter that Mark Tremonti has. The Hall of Fame is a joke! They induct all 57 members of The Grateful Dead. That band sucks!

TO ALL THE CREED HATERS!!!
. Creed beat out Metallica, Jay-Z and Johnny Cash for total album sales between the years 2000 and 2010. They did this despite having been broken up for half of the decade, and despite only having released albums in 2001 and 2009. They are the ninth best-selling band of this time period, and the third best-selling rock band (behind The Beatles and, shockingly, obscenely, Linkin Park).

2. Their 1999 album, Human Clay, sold so many copies that it went Platinum 10 times, then on to something called “Diamond,” which apparently happens when an artist’s album’s sales exceed 10 million. I’m willing to bet my own (digital) copy of Human Clay that most people don’t know that an album can “go Diamond” (I sure as shit didn’t; in fact, I maintain that “going Diamond” sounds more like an erection euphemism than any sort of official certification).

3. Also, despite being broken up between 2004 and 2009, Creed managed to appear on Billboard’s top 200 list for two of the five years they weren’t even technically a band. These years were 2005 and 2006.

4. When Creed released “Full Circle,” in 2009, the album shot straight to no. 2 on the Billboard charts. The only album that did better was Michael Jackson’s “This Is It,” which, given Jackson’s death just a few months beforehand, became an instant cultural artifact pretty much on par with a homerun ball that Babe Ruth got Aristotle, Napoleon and President Obama to sign, then dinged out of Yankee Stadium on a leap year while a solar eclipse was happening.

5. Creed has all the makings of a legendary, badass rock band, right down to the insane antics and subsequent lawsuits.

@ Vince

Although, I don't really think that's the best way to say why Creed is good in your opinion. But yeah, I actually do agree that they're one of the most overhated names in music along with Nickelback cause anything is better than all the Biebers, the Lil Waynes, and Swifts.

"Overcome" is an awesome song though, especially the solo.

Creed’s Human Clay will turn twenty in September.

RIAA Gold & Platinum Update: Creed

26 Million

Now I'm starting to wonder if their other "hits" will go gold soon.

If they get in, I'll eat my kidney because of how bad they are.

Posted by Liam on Saturday, 09/21/2019 @ 19:29pm


Post-grunge probably doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame. Especially not some laughingstock like Creed or Nickelback.

Maybe the Foo Fighters, but that's it.

Posted by fifi on Wednesday, 11/11/2020 @ 00:13am


I doubt they'll get in. They were well known, but they were not well liked. Scott Stapp was as despised as Fred Durst, if not more so, back in their time.

Much like Limp Bizkit, the other members of the band are pretty well regarded though.

We need a creed reunion when these guys get in the hall... Scott Stapp had an awesome voice and Mark was a badass guitarist. They had a great run! Don't compare these guys to Limp Bizkit. Wimp Biscuit sucks! Creed rocked

Posted by James on Wednesday, 08/11/2021 @ 22:50pm


They should be in the hall of fame

Posted by Trent on Sunday, 01/23/2022 @ 00:26am


I am 71 years old, and Creed's music was simply amazing. They had great messages in their songs. Scott Stapp is a great soulful singer and the members were incredibly talented. I would say YES Creed deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Posted by Lee on Sunday, 01/23/2022 @ 01:36am


People nowadays can say what they want, but back in the 90s and 2000s, everyone liked Creed! If you say that you didn't, you're lying! Scott Stapp had a beautiful, soulful voice, and Mark Tremonti is a fantastic guitarist. Scott Phillips and Brian Marshall were a great rhythm section that powered the band. Their music was filled with amazing messages that you don't get in today's music. I personally think Creed should definitely be in the RRHOF.

Posted by Ashley on Monday, 01/24/2022 @ 21:53pm


Creed will be still remembered 20 years from now. Their music stands the test of time.

Posted by Stephen on Monday, 01/24/2022 @ 21:56pm


Creed needs to reunite... they have so many great songs! They are this generation's JOURNEY

Posted by Dan on Saturday, 02/12/2022 @ 01:33am


Scott deserves the hate, he brought it on himself. But he has transitioned and is still working on his demons everyday. I don't blame the guys for walking away and creating Alter Bridge. Creed became the band it was cool to hate just like so many bands before them. People hated Steven Tyler for years after Joe Perry left the band at one point. There are so many great bands that have extreme hate on them just because it's cool or at least they want to seem cool for hating on Creed. Actually just shows your poser. Creed's first 3 albums were from start to finish great. But critics especially the loser at Rolling Stone didn't like that Creed's fame came so quick even though small local critics were raving about the band. They packed every venue they played and every arena after that. Even at the end they were still having sell-out crowds at most their shows. Except the ones where Scott was to messed up to perform of course. They were part of a big change in the direction of music, basically ending the Grundge Era. I think that brought a lot of hate on people who didn't want to let go, Critics included.

There was no one bigger in there era of time. From sold out arenas to roof tops in Vegas. From half time shows during the big game to performing at the Olympics. There music stands alone not like anyone else. The were like a raging fast wild fire. Just as we thought this fire was out there must have been a few embers that kept going. The fire is soon to return. There back!!! 2024 tour. They will be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame. There was no one better in there era of time.

Not a prayer, if the world was ending and the choices were "Blow Up The World" or "Put Creed in the HOF", say Goodbye to the Planet
