================================================ Subject: Noticable difference between Creed and PJ From: "Ximian" To: Date: Mon 21 Jan 2002 19:33:10 -0500 ================================================ I agree with you Dawn, I never found Creed and PJ to sound similar. Plus, I was never compelled to buy PJ's music. PJ sounded a little off key to me. And songs off of My Own Prison, all sounded great to me. I like PJ's cover songs, that are remakes of 50's songs. But am not attracted to most of their music. When I heard MOP on the radio.I knew it was from a new band. But the DJ did not reveal the artist's name. I was thinking that the band might be a "One hit wonder" and MOP would be the only good song. But MOP attracted me so much. That I was willing to buy the whole album. Fortunately,the whole album was great. So I did not waste the money, on only one good song.
