Trust me Agie, you should be GLAD you don't get that kind of saturation.  It's not just Creed, it's EVERY song that enters the Billboard Top 40.  Thankfully, ROCK only has crossover appeal on pop stations and NOT vice versa (you will NEVER hear Britney Spears on X-103, "Indy's New Rock Alternatvie").
 
True story.  When I still lived in Chicago, I rode to work with a woman who ALWAYS listened to B-96, "Chicago's Dance Beat".  One particular morning, we left my place on the southwest side to be to work on the FAR north side, IN A NEAR BLIZZARD (and for those who don't know, Chicago traffic SUCKS ASS even in GOOD weather!).  To make a long story short(er), it ended up taking almost FIVE HOURS to make what was normally just over an hour drive.  In that five hours, we heard 6 different songs NO LESS than 3 times each, and they were always in the same order (Shaggy, Destiny's Child, Ja Rules, Dr. Dre (the ONLY one I even SORTA liked), BSB, and Nelly).  And that was a pretty much EVERY DAY playlist for at least a month, with various others thrown in for "variety".  It STILL nauseates me to think of it.

Wish I heard that !!!!
We don't have here any rock radio stations, and telling the truth there is one radio station, that has played Creed and it is a public Polish Radio Channel "3", the rest of radio stations play crap like Spears, Aguilera, Ricky Martin (to name just a few of the best acts actually!!!),etc. because it's very popular and most of people love it. They don't want to play rock music that much, that sucks... Oh, and did I tell you that Creed isn't that well-known over here? Anyway, I guess the only person who understands what I'm talking about is Ross :) Anyone who has heard about ATC or Vengaboys knows what I'm talking about,lol!!!!
