Songs by Bands That Sound Exactly Like Creed

mixed by Justin Anderson

PERFECT FOR:

Singing and playing air guitar in the mirror; Passionately clenching fists; Wearing a tank top; Grooming; Maybe wearing leather pants.

INTRODUCTION:

Isn’t it odd that all the music that's come out in the last few years is the bomb? No, it’s not odd, actually. It's because of Creed, the leaders and saviors of modern rock music. Because their music is so universally true, even bands that sound like Creed are the bomb. So if you like bomb-ass, chest thumping, deep-throaty-vocals, one-foot-up-on-the-monitor type shit, this is the tape for you!

TRACK LIST:

Nickelback - How You Remind Me
Seven Mary Three - Cumbersome
Fuel - Hemorrhage (In My Hands)
Creed - With Arms Wide Open
Tantric - Breakdown
Default - Wasting My Time
Godsmack - Whatever
3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
Days Of The New - Touch, Peel and Stand
Lifehouse - Hanging By A Moment
Silverchair - Tomorrow
Creed - My Sacrifice
The Calling - Wherever You Will Go
Staind - It’s Been A While
Puddle Of Mudd - Control
Pearl Jam - Alive

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Dude, that Seven Mary Three song ought to remind you of that time you scored with that chick Joanne back in first year. She was so drunk. And that one Creed song "With Arms Wide Open" should remind you of that time you and Gooch drank so many beers that Darren had to call an ambulance. The Nickelback song, "How You Remind Me," totally brings back that time you and your buds went to that rock festival with Nickelback, Default and 3 Doors Down, and Kowalsky got so drunk that you left him passed out in the Port-o-Potty.

LISTENING INSTRUCTIONS:

Its beauty is in its versatility; "Songs by Bands That Sound Like Creed" is great for partying with your buds and drinking beers, rocking out in the mirror with some air-guitar, and the best part: scoring with chicks. I know when some of you saw The Calling and Lifehouse on there, you were all, "What the fuck dude?" But, dude, chicks love that shit. My buddy Mikey wasn’t getting anywhere with this one chick, played that Calling song for her, got her really drunk and totally scored! Plus, those songs can be good for other moments too, like when you're up north with your buds and you're pounding back brews. That's "Hanging By A Moment," my friend. As long as you ignore the love stuff in the song, it makes sense. That's what I call interpreting the music, dude.
