"Bother" gives "It's Been Awhile" some stiff competition for the whiniest baby spineless loser shitstain song in the world.

"You don't need to bother
I don't need to breathe"

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST STOP BEING SUCH A WHINY LOSER BABY YOU FUCKING SADSACK BABY!!!!!

WAWO is pretty cheesy, but I sort of appreciate Stapp's vulnerable honesty. When he sings about his unborn son "I hope he's not like me"...I feel that shit, man.

Huh, that video version of WAWO sounds pretty different from the album version

Cory Taylor for not being Scott Stapp

This round is horrendous so far.

With Arms Wide Open is great fun. I've been known to do a mean cover version after too many beersies.

I like the guitar in the Stone Sour song. "With Arms Wide Open" is horrendous.

The Stone Sour song is some pretty mopey nonsense but it's still better than Creed.

It's a reflection of just how bad that Stone Sour song is that I'm voting for Creed here.

OMG that Bother song the singer looks like Eddie Vedder if he'd been a heroin addict

Creed’s biggest crime was the raw enormity of their success. They don’t sound all that different from a billion bands of the era, they were less mopey/misogynistic than a lot of the others, and were basically just generic shitty band.

If they’d gone platinum instead of 15 times platinum, nobody would have given a shit about them.

I’m trying to cut through this statement but it’s either undercooked or my knife is too dull.

I like both of these songs, but I’m voting for Creed.

Oh my god. I keep thinking these songs have got to be almost over and then I look at the track time and they aren’t even half finished. Four minuets feels like three hours.

That’s definitely better than video. Maybe just because I don’t have to looks at those dudes.
