What a lot of people don't realise, and believe me - it took me a while to realise - is that Eminem is taking the piss...
When he raps, I don't find him being serious - I think he's being very smart and is trying to get the reaction he does get...
I am by no means a fan of Eminem (although 'The Way I am' is brilliant), but I do think a lot of people are completely missing the point.
As for Creed, they are not doing anything that Pearl Jam/Soundgarden et al weren't doing in 1992! But if there is one thing you can say about Creed, it's that they have managed to spawn a load of 'sound-a-likes'...
The likes of Nickelback, Puddle of Mudd and P.O.D. could very easily be Creed - but this always happens when a band makes a successful breakthrough.
That said, I do really like 'My Sacrifice'...

Sorry SSSnake, I know you are a huge fan and all, but Creed are nowhere near one of the top selling bands of all time! Just to name a couple of bands that have sold way more I'll quickly mention the likes of Led Zeppelin, Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Metallica, Aerosmith, Elvis Presley and of course the boys from my hometown, The Beatles...
