Exactly. And I won't go into the type of crowd they tend to attract. So many bands out there with ten times the talent. Nickelback got lucky. Right place right time, and maybe some scabbed knees.

The thing that really stands out concerning the music of Nickelback is the phoniness and lack of true emotion. It is manufactured angst and we all can detect it. They're awful. The animla song is straight up hideous!

There are also a lot of people who think chain restaurants are the greatest and love to watch scripted reality shows like "Jon and Kate plus 8" and "The Real Housewives." All that means is that people are mindless sheep that go along with whatever corporate America shoves down their throats.

Yep. There's a reason I call the band Nickel Hack.

So what?

Why should any of us care if some people love the Olive Garden or Home Town Buffet or the Cracker Barrel? That is their taste. That is their preference. If they like it and want to spend money on it then so be it.

I think that it is ridiculous for some to pretend to be music "purists"...and the Rock Snobs are the worst. I'm sure that the members of Nickleback could care less that some dweebed out Rock Snobs who live in their grandma's basement don't like their music. They are probably even laughing....all the way to the bank.

And I'm sure they're laughing all the way to the bank at the numbskulls who live in the trailer parks who spend their welfare checks on Nickelback's mindless diarrhea. Nothing like hanging out in the trailer drinking a few Busch Light pounders, combing the mullet, and singing "you look so much cuter with something in your mouth." (deep lyrics there)
