Their cover of "Sharp dressed man" was bitching and better than the original, by the way... Random quotes just to piss off the OP: "Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups, having sold over 35 million albums worldwide. Nickelback ranks as the 11th best selling music act of the 2000s, and is the 2nd best selling foreign act in the U.S. behind The Beatles for the 2000s. In December 2009, Nickelback were ranked 7th on Billboard Magazine's list of "Artists of the Decade" - both the highest-ranked band and the highest-ranked rock artist in the list. Billboard Magazine also named Nickelback as the Adult Pop Artist of the decade."
Selling albums never meant good music. They are certainly 11th behind Usher, the Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna and all that crap. Some of their song are not that bad though.
Yeah but you heard them for sure, you just don't know their name. It is the kind of group created to please the majority, you won't really like them and buy their album, but you won't puke like Bronks ( lol )... IMO 80% of their auditors are teenage girls dreaming about simili rebel rockers with long blond hair, a modern Bonjovi in some way...
Who are they? Are they the offspring of the guys that sang the YMCA song? I guess they would have been the product of sperm donations, as I don't think the Village People were into women. Bring on The Who, Stones, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Chilie Peppers, Led Zep, etc.
