Can you think of any examples of artists and/or bands you personally enjoy the music of, despite there being a stigma associated with their image/music?
Personally, I actually don't mind Creed. I can understand the reasons people have for being put off by their music and especially the vocals of Scott Stapp, however I do believe Creed have a few legitimately good songs within their discography. "My Own Prison" would have to be one of the best alternative songs of 1997. I love the moodiness and overall darkness of the song. "What If?", "With Arms Wide Open" and "My Sacrifice" are also songs of theirs I particularly enjoy, although I don't consider them to be on par with "My Own Prison" in terms of quality. Still, Creed are far better than many people make them out to be and Mark Tremonti is an underrated guitarist.
There are a few other bands that fall in this category for me too. Limp Bizkit are truly the bottom of the barrel when it comes to nu-metal, but "Break Stuff" and "Rollin'" are pretty fun to listen to if you don't take them too seriously. I actually prefer their cover of "Behind Blue Eyes" over the original by The Who.
My Chemical Romance are also a band who I've really come to like as well. I'm glad that people are starting to see past their emo image and judge their releases based on their own artistic merit. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge is one of the best rock albums of the naughties, without doubt. I still stand by the idea that "Helena" is one of the greatest rock songs of the past 20-25 years.
