I’m mostly indifferent towards Nickelback. I like a good Nickelback joke but I don’t often long to listen to any of their songs either.
When most Nickelback songs come on the radio, I’ll hope to upgrade by changing stations unless one of those stations is playing Bachman Turner Overdrive.

I'm completely out of the loop for that kind of music. But once, about 15 years ago, I was with a friend in his car and a song came on the radio. I said I liked it. Did he know who it was? Nickelback. So based on that one song, I can't think of why people would hate them. It didn't make me want to go out and buy their album, but it was pleasant, a totally non-threatening kind of music.

I have always liked Nickelback. Never cared what others thought. I also feel they are an above average band.

I place Nickelback in the same category as Three Days Grace, Theory of a Deadman, 3 Doors Down, Creed, Linkin Park, Staind…..the fairly new breed of rock. Catchy hooks, great vocals, decent musicians. I like them all!

How can you not like this smoker…

I agree with every word. I think Nickelback is a great band with a tons of great songs (and they keep going to create interesting albums).

I don't care about the haters, let them go to hell.

P.S. Never understood universal admiration for Taylor Swift. She's not disgusting to the point of vomiting (like today's vile hip-hop "stars"), but I don't see anything special about her either. Yes, she's insanely popular and very rich, but her music doesn't touch my emotions at all. :think: Dido or Shania Twain were much more interesting in their times.

I would say I am not a huge fan, but I don't mind their songs. It's crazy how much hate they've received over the years, but I think that is why they have stayed relevant all these years, IMO

Hey @Griffin. Nice to see you post! :)

A band tends to die out unless they can keep their name in the news. Sometimes hate can be a powerful advertisement.

Nickelback has put out 10 albums, most of which have reached gold sales status, and they are still active and thriving. Someone out there must like them.

I will say, though, their last album was not all that great. It has a country flair mixed with bubblegum pop. Those just aren’t for me.
