Just to mention the bands mentioned thus far:
Bands like Creed today owe their allegiance to Soundgarden, especially guitar-wise. Listen closely and you will see Mark Tremonti's obvious influence from Chris Cornell and Kim Thayil's guitar work.
_RED_ stuff

Admitted there are a few of tremonti's riffs that sound like a couple of soundgardens songs the just of them do not. Espically in the way the guitar itself sounds in most of Creeds songs. Totally unique, because if you were to take out the vocals you could tell a song by Creed just by the signature guitar sound and style of play. I'm not saying your wrong but I wouldn't go as far to say that they owe Soundgarden allegiance.
