I guess I miss the memo when bands officially go on everyone's shitlist... not sure why that happens.

Can't speak for anyone else but every time I have the misfortune of hearing one of their songs I feel like the only way to stop the pain is to rip the ears off my head. That's why they're on my shitlist.

Um, hello. Bob Seger, anyone? Or is he too old and uncool?

What about the MC5 or Mitch Ryder?

If Nickelback and Kings of Leon did a double-bill, the resulting gravitational sinkhole could open up a wormhole to new galaxies. Then we could shove them through said wormhole and seal it shut forever. Then maybe a nosh?

WTF! Why were these people at their concert if that was their reaction and what prompted the rock-throwing?
I like a few of their songs but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. They have plenty of fans though as they are second only to the Beatles for a foreign band in terms of popularity.

So, why the hatred for Nickelback? I once watched a Nickelback DVD, and they seemed like a generic rock band. No better, no worse than a dozen others. Is Nickelback one of those bands that was cool before they were popular, but are now the uncoolest because they're on the radio?

We have one local "rock" radio station that plays Nickelback regularly, and has since the very beginning. The "alternative rock" station has a standing "No-Nickelback guarantee." They'll play other famous local crap like Tegan & Sara (sorry, fans. I just don't like them, but everyone else I know thinks they're God's gift to Canadian music), but not Nickelback. Ever.

I've honestly never sat down and listened to the band, but I've heard way too much of them on TV. It's the kind of music that no one really seems to ask for, but it gets shoveled down our throats.

Almost 50,000 sigs. Keep spreading the word, folks!

I just can't believe Nickelback has outsold any of those groups. I'd be skeptical, even if they went by download sales as opposed to physical media.

Those guys and Creed are the two most cringe enducing bands I've had to endure. Creed songs always started off sounding like other, better songs -- then the vocals would kick in and the song would go to hell.
