If you're looking for bland, middle of the road, radio friendly rock devoid of any personality, Creed has at least half a dozen songs better than those.
Amongst the Waves and Infallible are cute little ditties that probably could have both benefited immensely from a different production path, but I will defend Force of Nature to the end.
p.s. All three of those songs are several universes above anything by Creed. Come on, now. Creed.

But both riffs slide down 4 chords chromatically (a half-step down with each chord) and then slide a full step down for the end of the riff. They're not the same, obviously, but it's also not a super common progression, so it reminded me of it. Which is sort of what this thread is about.

but they don't "sound" the same, even if they have similar musical movements. is the rhythm the same? the tone is completely different. why would this even remind you of a song you haven't listened to in years?

Well, clearly I hear a similarity that prompted me to post it here. I've explained to you in musical terms where I hear the similarity. We can just disagree and that's cool
