Creed being popular or not so popular is a different issue.
There is a concept of "Creed Bashing"...I dont know why :question:

Just to clarify: What I meant was that's the reason I haven't heard anything by them, because they don't get played much over here

Oh yeah and their music sucks.

I'll answer in detail because I live in Creed's hometown and was around them before they were famous...
Many U2 fans hate Creed because:
Scott Stapp is a hard rock Bono-knock off
They are pompous
They are trite
All their songs sound the same - or are going for the "Where The Streets Have No Name" feel, only with loud guitars
They are overrated (though no critics like them)
They really are not a good and talented band
Basically, Creed is trying to be a hard rock U2 - and it's blatantly and offensively obvious. And they're failing miserably.
The backlash is coming now if it isn't already in fullswing.
