It's not easy to find a success story as genuine as Creed's. If any band can claim to have ascended strictly on its own merits, it's Creed. Their debut album, My Own Prison, has sold over six million albums to date. Creed's sophomore effort, Human Clay, debuted at Number One and has gone on to sell more than 10 Million copies. The band's third release, Weathered, also debuted at Number One. Creed was recognized as the Rock Artist of the Year at Billboard's 1998, 1999 and 2000 Music Awards. Creed broke up in 2004, but three years later the members reconvened and reconciled past differences. The band booked a series of shows for the summer of 2009 in support of the album Full Circle, which was released later that year. Creed continues to draw huge crowds with their reputation for dynamic and passionate live shows.
