dude this is a good song, scott stapp is a huge dickhead, but u can take away the fact that creed put out some damn good music. which did not resemble nu metal by anymeans... dumbass

He may be an ass, but this song was written about his unborn son.

This song might not have been groundbreakingly original but I agree w/you...not all rock has to be to make it good! This was a good song from a good band...not the greatest in the world but this song doesn't deserve to be on this list w/ the rest of this garbage. And I concur, Scott Stapp was a douche.

The only mistake that spinner made is not putting this song in the top 5. Creed and Nickelback may just be the worst two bands ever.

ozzy rules

I agree with Tim further down...this band, nickelback, hinder, and any other metal/pearl jam wannabes blow. OMG and then that Kelly saying that achey breaky heart is good...hang up your headphones honey.

I love Creed! This is BS that 'With Arms Wide Open' is one a worst song list. Spinner does NOT know music. Their lists are shit.

haha you tell em!
i know, i LOVE this song!!!
i am beginning to believe this "blog thing" is a fake.
written by one person who is only about 30 years and younger.........

totally bs, and Fred Durst makes fun of everyone! (including Linkin Park)

Creed is NOT good music. It's corporate rock at its finest. It's grunge with none of the rawness and emotion.
Sam Kat 10-08-2008
Prashant, nicely put. You're unto something, even though I generally do like song. I like the melody and the lyrics more than the guy's voice; reminds me of the singer from Audioslave, I feel the same way there. It's almost like French Stewart from 3rd Rock - funny, but hearing him sing would make you wanna bang your head against the wall :) Pure and simple expression and meaningful lyrics isn't enough to make quality music... anymore

You messed up on this one.
Arms wide Open is a great song and will stand the test of time long after this blog has withered away!

AGREED !!

"Arms wide Open...will stand the test of time long after this blog has withered away!"
sadly, this is probibly true (that is if a blog had the ability to wither away)... this blog can never compete with the stupefying amount of people that enjoy terrible music.

This song (with the rest of Creed's music) sucks!
LUV NVR WANTD M3at 8-08-2008
agreed.

i copmpletely disagree though they had some bad songs all groups do they did some pretty awesome shit

Definitely , Creed is awful . But I always listen when they come on the radio . Listening to a Creed song is like looking at a car accident . It is horrible but you cannot stop staring .
On a related note , anyone ever hear Taylor Hawkin , the drummer from Foo Fighters , do his Scott Stapp impersonation .... funniest thing you will ever hear and dead on accurate .

Who is picking these songs? This is a great song. I am 47 and I love it, far better than "make love to a thug in da club" HOW STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is good music
sweetxokaraleaat 8-03-2008
this song should not be on the list of the worst songs ever. i believe its a great song and has a wonderful meaning.
