That's not what I'm saying. If I've got to have something with such pop sensibilities, I'd rather have these guys. Plus, I simply enjoy the music. But that's just me.

Creed, on the other hand, I hate. I've never seen a band more full of themselves (well, that's mainly Stapp). I just can't stand 'em.

Believe me, if there were a chance in hell of my favorite bands becoming famous, that would be really cool! But be realistic, most of our favorite bands are not the mainstream type, and will never be overly popular.

If there's one band out there that I think may have a chance and is an excellent band, it would without a doubt be Queens of the Stone Age. But they have several obsticles in their way to becoming huge hits.

So to answer your question, YES. I would rather that. The bands now are incredibly tiring and boring. They're all ripping each-other off, and originally simply ripping off Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains...badly. Time for a change.
