Nickelback - love or hate them?

I met Chad (last name is really Turton) once, soon before they became popular. They were playing in a bar in a small college town here in AB. He was friendly but projected a feeling that he was better than everyone and was kind of a **** to all of the other males that would come around. As for their music...it's o.k., not something I would ever pay $ for.

I really like the music of theirs that I have, which I copied from a friends music collection. Get's me moving - hard to sit still when I listen to them. And I actually did wake up singing one of their songs this morning too. But what's a girl to do when the only actual radio she has is in a 94 minivan with a tape deck that won't spit out the cassette that's been in it for over a year - My van only plays Fleetwood Mac.....

So....... I guess from what everyone is saying.....I should go buy a dang radio!

Quite the opposite. Listen to grooveshark.com type in bands you like or even try pandora.com you get some indie bands, obscure bands, errrrr TALENTED bands and you aren't stuck with the same 40 lame bands most people are listening to because they can't get out of the comfort zone. I've noticed a lot in my studies people will only listen to crap radio because that is all they know or their friends know. The internet is a completely wonderful thing and should be utilized!! Good luck.

Well....like the minivan my comp's really really old and really really really slow. Stuff like videa/audio streaming stuff seams to lock it up. Oh, and it's compaq which now I've heard bites. No one could have told me that before I bought ...of course. Thanks for the tips though - if I ever inherit a new comp will try them!

IDK, a lot of indie bands are indie because they suck, not to say there are not very good ones but IME indie bands are indie for a reason. Granted the music industry requires a lot of luck to get discovered.

True some are but for the most part 75% are not and aren't getting discovered because people are inundated with the likes of Nickelback and Ke$ha and for god sakes think that Slipknot is the end all be all to metal? I work in the music industry and have seen, interviewed, and caught up with some really amazing bands that started on the internet and five years later they finally hit stardom.

I can't comment on the band, but I've disliked the songs I've heard by them.

I can't say I hate anyone I don't know, but I've been forced to listen to a number of their songs and haven't liked a one of them.

Shrug, what do I know? I like the Dead Milkmen.
