Creed

Praise the Lord that these one-time arms-wide-open Tampa-reared Jesus freaks have pretty much called it a day. Yes, Creed did shift mucho product with their post-Pearl Jam moves and spiritual truisms (see songs like "Higher"). Still, it didn't help that frontman Scott Stapp has made a tool of himself starting with getting slapped with a couple DUI's and committing general rockstar silliness at the peak of Creed's career. Would make that him a convenient Christian? See U2 for inspiration on that score. Now, thankfully, guitarist Mark Tremonti did manage to keep it real with Alter Bridge and his solo work. Of course there was that dreaded Creed reunion tour last year.
