I listen to a rock station most days as I'm driving to and from work, and it's pretty much about the only good station I get around here as everything else has songs that suck so I can't just switch to another station. Nickelback is the only group I will literally turn the radio off for about three or four minutes whenever I hear one of their songs starting to play.
 
What with all that Nickelback bashing ? I just don't get it. I don't particulary like them but there are many bands that are far worse than them...

Mainly (given my age) after suffering through a time when Motley Crue, Poison, Loverboy, Nightranger and Ratt ruled the world, why should I hate Nickelback?

^^^This^^^

Same here. I can take 'em or leave 'em. I think some of their songs are kinda catchy. But we live in a time of disposable, trashcan music. And throw in the (truly) suck glam/hair bands that Mayhem mentioned, Nickelback isn't even in the worst of the worst, IMO.

Here's what's weird to me though: quite a few of the British people that I know can't stand Dire Straits. I find that really hard to believe. That is one amazing ass band, IMO! But a lot of Brits react to Dire Straits the way a lot of Americans and Canadians do to Nickelback. Weird!
 
Never understood all the hatred. At least they rock. I'm not even sure if people really don't like them or if everyone has just jumped on the bandwagon of pretending to hate them so they sound cool.

I'm sure they don't give a shit. All they do is sell tons of records. They're laughing all the way to the bank.

:cool:
 
Yes, most hair bands from the 80s and 90s ran off of gimmicks they ran into the ground and had features that might seem lame now, but Motley Crue and Poison actually had quite a few good songs and had some talent. Nickelback doesn't really belong being compared to them.

Well, it did feature Billy Gibbons.
 
They are a bit of a guilty pleasure. I am a bit of a music snob but they have written a few catchy tunes. After a while there will be a new band to pick on. I don't think I would pay money for their tunes though.
 
I can’t make a choice right now. I should think it out later. And I forgot to ask you, where you are from?
 
I like some of their songs. I just don't get why it seems to be the cool thing to hate on them. Especially when Ke$ha is out there making "music".

That's two different creatures. Different brands, about the same level of sucking.

They're not bad, not great, they're ok

I guess most of the hate they get is just a running gag. There's no way they're worse than Justin Bieber or most of the other stuff that's popular

To some of us haters "ok" is just not good enough; hence the hatred. Running gag or not, call it however you want.
