Okaaaay... Just because Creed rode the hype that goes with their cookie-cutter brand of music doesn't mean they could ride it forever. They ran out of cookie cutters. Rush is a more dynamic and resilient band, so they have kept their music in play for 30 years.

I hardly think Creed's music is cookie cutter. Some of it is pretty dark. Stapp's lyrics can be utterly brilliant. Many of their songs are Christian-theme based. The song 'One' is firmly against affirmative action. Don't let the band image fool you. The music was damn good. Their concerts were incredible. The last Creed concert I was at, Stapp stopped singing and let the audience sing. As a chick, to hear that man guys at a concert singing 'One Last Breath' was amazing.
