i'll be the first to answer...like jess, i first heard
creed when 'higher' was climbing up the hit

thought they sounded like pearl jam...my husband went
out to buy their cd for me, and ended up buying
MOP...thank god! because i got to know who they really
were...i still prefer MOP to HC, but it all depends on
my mood...got to see them live the second time they
played cleveland, their 'fan appreciation' show, since
scott was ailing the first time they played here...as
i've mentioned before, brett was playing bass for them
then...i have never in my life been to a show like
theirs...and i have been tomany a concert in my life...i
was blown away...every single song, the entire crowd was
on their feet, singing louder than scott...every song,
every word...and that's my creed story...i got on the
list right when i got my puter, and heard them...and
have been here since...with a short hiatus...and as long
as they keep doing what they do, i'll be here...take
that as you will...i'm no v, but i'll be the list mom as
long as the need is there...

Well, since I've pretty much summed up my story in a previous post, I'll just add a little something here. I have always been into music, but my passion for music had begun to fade. Sure I still enjoyed listening to music, but it didn't really take on much meaning for me. When I discovered Creed, their music awakened something in me. I once again started to find meaning in music, I was able to appreciate the way the musicians played their instruments. Well actually what really caught my attention was the way Mark played guitar on Higher, that's when i decided to pay attention to the song. Well anyway, not only was my appreciation for music renewed, but my appreciation for the art of the written word. I have been writing since a very young age, but for awhile, up until the point I discovered Creed, I had lost my drive to write. I noticed that around the same time I started listening to Creed, I started writing my poetry again. I dunno if you can count this as one of those "Creed changed my life moments" but they really made an impact on me and in turn have made me look at things a lot differently. Oh and as to why I joined the list, no one I knew was talking about Creed or their music or anything, a lot of people didn't even know who they were. So I decided to join this list to talk to other Creed fans, and catch up on all the stuff I had missed. Well I'm sorry to bore you all with my story, but blame Lee, she brought it up lol
