Not exactly what you're asking, but Nickelback was a passing good rock band with several great songs. How they became the punching bag of bad bands I'll never really understand.
Nickelback has some great songs I still jam to. Theyβre just generic radio rock that doesnβt offend people. See also: Creed. Until Scott Stapp offended people.
Noone can tell the difference between Creed and Nickleback. I think that is part of the problem.
I remember it seemed like every time I got in the car at their peek they would be on. I always just assumed it was because Canada has always about the minimum amount of canadian content played.
They are like vanilla with vanilla sauce on top.
They are "radio rock" personified.
So you're saying they defined a genre
Nope. Just personified it.
