    BC their recording company spends lots of money/ easy to play bc of non offensive lyrics.

    Sucking lots doesn't stop you from posting a buttload of threads.

    all any of us half *kitten* rock fans ever care about anyway are the ballads and "sell out" songs anyway, so I think what they come up with is quite brilliant.

    It goes far beyond airtime.

    They're one of the most commercially successful bands in Canadian history with 50 million albums sold worldwide. That's a real number, Google it. Fifty million albums sold ranking them the 11th best selling band and ranked second as the best selling "foreign" band in the US. Who was #1? The Beatles.

    They had 4 albums listed on Billboards top albums of the decade which gave them the coveted title of "The best rock group of the decade" by Billboard.

    They've had countless albums top the charts in the both the US and Canada and they've won like 10+ Juno awards.

    I'm not even a fan of Nickelback either way, I'm impartial but the hate they get is just dumb. If you can't gauge the success of a band via the album sales which equates to people enjoying their music, then what metric would you use?

    I think they get a bad rap because frat boys love them.

    I like them.

    Especially if alcohol is involved.

    I don't mind them. Not my favorite but I never understood some people's hate for them either.

    they are bubble gum "rock"ish... a lot of people tend to like mid-range talent, that's why they get played a lot.

    If you don't sing along when "Rockstar" comes on then we can't be friends.

    NIckelback and rock should never be used in the same sentence.

    Well, it's midnight, damn right, we're wound up too tight
    I've got a fist full of whiskey, the bottle just bit me
    Oh, that *kitten* makes me bat-*kitten* crazy
    We've got no fear, no doubt, all-in, balls out

    We're going off tonight to kick out every light
    Take anything we want, drink everything in sight
    We're going 'til the world stops turning
    While we burn it to the ground tonight

    We're screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling
    I got a fist full of fifties, tequila just hit me
    Oh, we got no class, no taste, no shirt, and *kitten* faced
    We got 'em lined up, shot down, firing back straight crown

    NOW, WHO HASN'T IDENTIFIED WITH THAT, AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFE??!!!

    Catchy tunes, great to have a few beers to, and not a whole lot of thought has to go into listening to their music. Not the greatest band, but enjoyable none the less.

    Musical taste is subjective, that being said they really do suck!!!
