What’s with dumping on Nickelback all the time. Nickelback is OK.
To me it’s like peer pressure to dislike Nickelback; you know, the cool opinion that cool people have, the in-group, and if you don’ have it you’re a mouth breathing dumb caveman.
Kind of what liberals do to everyone they don’t like.
I agree. Nickleback wasn’t my favorite but I’ve heard a lot worse.
Maybe Nickelback is the Hawaiian Pizza of music— easy to ridicule, and yet it has a following.
Yeah, it’s almost like NB is the anti-Led Zeppelin; I’ve heard others riff on ‘em elsewhere.
I seriously almost started hating LZ ‘cuz SO many gushing drones were all, “I wanna learn guitar, man! I wanna be able to play ‘Stairway To Heaven’!” And very often that was the ONLY Led Zep tune they could name, which just made it all that much MORE annoying.
It realty did get to the place where, if you were asked “Who’s the greatest rock band of all?” the textbook answer was “Oh, Led Zeppelin, man; hands down.” Never mind that a follow-up question about John Bonham would likely elicit a quizzical, “Who?” from most.
So, yeah, I’m feelin that lament about Nickleback.
Yes. It’s like a virtue signal of some sort. A way to purchase the illusion of intelligence and sophistication.
