There's gotta be somebody better than Nickelback

AKTurkey: There's gotta be somebody better than Nickelback

I bet Rebecca Black is available.

I bet Roseanne is available.

This is the city that gave us Kid Rock - I think they can handle it.

Normally I'd say fark the Lions but since Packers fans are going to be there I'll work with them on this one.

Well, it is a group named after a football player position, so why not?

...at least it's not ICP.

The hate for Nickleback, lets put it this way.


If I want to listen to hard rock, I will listen to a hard rock station.
If I want to listen to, as my gramma calls is baboom baboom music, I will listen to a baboom baboom station.
If I want to listen to alt rock, I will listen to an alt rock station.
If I want to listen to pop, well I would probably shoot myself first but, I guess if for some reason that urge occurred I would listen to a pop station.


I more or less listen to a station because it is the genera I feel like listening to. When a band can kind of be put into all four of those categories but not really entirely into one of those categories it ends up getting played on multiple stations, this leads to two things happening.
1. A lot of people hear the song and hate it.
2. A lot of people hear the song and like it.


Rock people hate it because it is not really rock. It is wuss rock, it very basically sounds like rock but it is not rock.
Baboom Baboom people hate it because most of it lacks enough baboom baboom.
Alt rock people hate it, because it is both too much rock and too much pop.
Pop people hate it because it sounds like rock.

That is really basic in terms.


Or it could be that their old music was awesome, I have their first album actually. Now their music feels cheap and manufactured lacking feeling and the musical talent they showed in their early works. Now their music is so simple, repetitive, and lacking in feeling that while it is good the first time through by the second or third I feel like I have been listening to a broken record. And you can have simple songs and have them be good, and repetitive songs and they can be good, you can even lack feeling in your songs and still produce a good song, but when you smash the three together you are going to produce crap.

It feels like they got famous off talent then made a money grab not caring what happened afterwards.

Whenever someone asks me if I like Nickleback, I always reply "No, I'm not into country."

I am not a Nickleback fan but come on, they couldn't be worse than the Black Eyed Peas.

Lou Brown: I'll never understand the contempt some people have for Nickelback.

I dunno.... the fact that they're immensely popular despite being incredibly and relentlessly average?

Nickleback? They're better off with their dime package.

IAmRight: This is the city that gave us Kid Rock - I think they can handle it.

Sorry they both kick ass. Go listen to Coldplay or something. Or better yet, whos the act for this years Superbowl? Madonna??? That will delight gay men everywhere. Forfeit your man card please.

Considering this game had the Jonas Brothers doing the halftime show a couple of years ago Nickelback is sadly an improvement.

BEER_ME_in_CT: Sorry they both kick ass. Go listen to Coldplay or something.

I didn't criticize either. I like several songs by both - I just don't see much of a difference between the two. If you can support Kid Rock, you can listen to Nickelback.

/like Nickelback's cover of "Saturday Night's Alright" - it was the ESPN college football lead-in music for a couple years and it still reminds me of college football
//like Kid Rock's earlier stuff when it was all about talking about how badass he is

UNC_Samurai: How about just ask for the local college marching bands? The big rock groups never give that good of a performance at football halftime shows (Prince excepted).

Based on the Aziz Ansari bit about him, I really want R. Kelly to do a halftime show lol
