I like their songs. Don't know anything about the band itself.

Same reason I cant stand Lady Gaga; over rated, over played, and just pure trash.
Just my opinion.

Lady Gaga is easily more talented than Nickelback. She actually has a little bit of a knack for melody writing. Key word there is "little." Nothing at all deserving of her fame, but at least she's distinguishable from a county fair grandstand act.

Actually, there are lots of far worse pop artists out there than Lady Gaga. She only really gets hated on because she's so in-your-face "look at me" about everything.

Not that she ISN'T trash, but still... -__-

Huh, the overplayed part I can understand, at least for some bands. I'm not a big Led Zeppelin fan, probably because I feel their songs are overplayed on classic rock stations.

ceeker: I used to hate Nickelback. I thought they were the perfect example of what's wrong with music today - generic, boring, lowest common denominator rubbish.

Then I heard this.
I was in a pretty good mood today. :(

Nowadays, radio stations have like 10 CDs to play. It's what it feels like to me when I (rarely) listen to any kind of radio station. Whether they play Dio, Led Zep or Pantera, it always is the same freaking song again again and again.

If I had enough time on my hands for that, I would subscribe to satellite radios.

Where is this magical land that plays Dio, Led Zeppelin, and Pantera on the radio?

As far as generic goes, Nickelback has nothing at all on Shawn Mullins, just saying.

It's not something I'd go out of my way to avoid, is what I'm saying. I just wouldn't seek it out.

Now, pop in general, that I can loathe.

Yeah, it's for real. And they have fans. They actually hit the charts.

Nah, a friend showed it to me. I hadn't seen that video - it was all terrible (except for Tunak Tunak Tun which is more amusing than bad), but not quite as bad as brokencyde.

Actually, I think the youtube comments are what REALLY made that video both terribad and hilarious at the same time for me.

I giggled the whole time while thinking, "it's like they're fucking 4 years old with potty mouths!"
