When a radio DJ or VJ introduces an unknown band, they say.."they've been compared to (fill in a famous respected rock band's name here)"
 
and then when they talk about bands like Creed and others they are suddenly "rip offs" of other bands??
this really pisses me off !
 
Why can't a band be good and not be "rip offs"???
