Creed actually relies more on power chords. Pearl Jam is more of a classic rock/blues style rock band. I hear more Zeppelin, Beatles, Vaughan, Hendrix, Skynyrd, Who, Stones, etc. influence in them than in Creed. Creed borders on being nu-metal. I really hear no similarities whatsoever between Pearl Jam and Creed. Just because Scott Stapp and Eddie Vedder both sing in baritone doesn't mean that one is mimicking the other.
But I agree with what you said. I have always wondered why CDs were more expensive than cassettes, considering they do cost less to manufacture. But the bottom line is, the author of that article is an uneducated moron that only knows the music she hears on Clear Channel radio stations and MTV. Maybe if she actually knew something about music and the business of music she could write a well-thought out, educated article on the subject.
