I don't know about heaps, but I guess I would choose a Creed record over a Black Eyed Peas one, if there was a gun to my head. 8) Scott Stapp is one of the rare instances where someone's personality (at least in interviews and such) pisses me off soooo much that I have an absolute aversion to their music.

I guess my hatred of Scott stems from a quote attributed to him when he was asked to respond to the many criticisms that his vocals were too similar to Eddie Vedder's.

What a normal person would have said: "I think its flattering, Pearl Jam helped pave the way for us, so its cool to be mentioned in the same sentence."

What Scott Stapp said: "Eddie Vedder wishes he could write lyrics like me."

What a joke.

I saw an interview on Muchmusic where Scott Stapp replied to that question with this, "Pearl Jam is a great band, so it is flattering" not an exact quote, but basically thats what he said. I've never seen or heard the quote you mentioned. Doesnt matter to me anyways, I like the music and I like Scott's lyrics more anyways. On his new album I heard he wrote all of the music: guitars, lyrics, etc.. Which I think deserves some respect.

Plus he sent anger management pamphlets to Fred Durst when Fred randomly started dissing Creed for no reason as a joke, which only angered him more. Stapp then challenged him to a boxing match, he was totally serious to, he was gonna use it to raise money for charity and kick Durst's ass at the same time. I thought that was both cool and funny. Durst chickened out though.

EDIT: Actually, you know what, I decided to check out your quote there and it turns out Scott Stapp never ever said that, Brian Marshall did, he was the bassist on the first 2 Creed albums and left before the 3rd. So Stapp has nothing to do with that quote.

Im sure no one cares anyways however.

Ah, my mistake, I was misinformed. Well, Brian Marshall is a piece of shit, then. My opinion of Scotty has been raised some. I did hear about the Fred Durst thing. That shit is funny. Fred Durst is all talk. I think he needs to go on Celebrity Boxing so his pussiness can be revealed to all his fans.

BTW, I was/am a Pearl Jam fanboy, hence my being miffed at that comment. Thanks for clearing that up, though.
