Post-grunge band Creed has announced it will be celebrating \u201cCreedmas\u201d with two shows at Hard Rock Live<\/a> in Hollywood on December 19 and 20. Hard rockers Sevendust will serve as the show\u2019s opener.<\/p>\n Creed was probably one of the biggest rock bands at the turn of the century thanks to the group\u2019s breakthrough album, 1999\u2019s Human Clay. Songs like \u201cHigher\u201d and \u201cWith Arms Wide Open\u201d were inescapable on rock radio. The band continued to see commercial success with its follow-up, 2001\u2019s Weathered, which spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.<\/p>\n Frontman and vocalist Scott Stapp perhaps received the most attention during the band\u2019s meteoric rise. His baritone vocals in the vein of Pearl Jam\u2019s Eddie Vedder became both the band\u2019s calling card and source of ridicule. (It also didn\u2019t help that Stapp\u2019s odd behavior over the years became a source of tabloid fodder.)<\/p>\n That put Creed at the epicenter of the genre now known as \u201cbutt rock.\u201d The derogatory term has come to denote the type of post-grunge sound of the late 1990s and early 2000s, characterized by hypermasculinity and angst.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, even bands that were equally as hated back then (see Limp Bizkit and Nickelback) are seeing critics and audiences come around. Chalk it up to nostalgia, or perhaps these bands weren\u2019t as bad as the vitriol they received.<\/p>\n That nostalgia wave is part of what makes Creed\u2019s newly released The Best of Creed compilation feel right on time. The collection spans all four of the band\u2019s studio albums and includes mega-hits like \u201cMy Sacrifice\u201d and \u201cOne Last Breath.\u201d While some might write it off as a cash-in, it\u2019s also a reminder that Creed was, for better or worse, the soundtrack to a specific moment in American rock history. The digital version is streaming now, and vinyl collectors can pick from a range of exclusive pressings.<\/p>\n Tickets for Creedmas are currently on sale via ticketmaster.com<\/a> with prices starting at $79.80.<\/p>\n Creed.
