Nickelback. I don't know why they get so much hate, their music is actually decent
Nickelback had a VERY distinctive style, to the point you could mix their songs together "This is how you remind me to wish you'd unclench your fists" style and people wouldn't notice. They're relative lack of range caused them to wear out their welcome a LOT faster than average.
They deserve every last dollop of shit they got for No Fixed Address though.
Some of there songs are dope
For me it was the radio and that a lot of their popular songs sound the same-ish (not hard to do with that voice). The radio has ruined a lot of bands for me simply by having a 40 minute playlist on repeat. Like The Killers.
I think it's worth it now to give the back catalog of the killers a listen. I felt the same way for a long time.
That being said I've got a list of bands I enjoy a lot more than I could when they were being played every 40 minutes
Yea, I enjoy music a lot more now that I don't have to listen to the same shit day in and day out. Even some pop songs are pretty banger to hear once in a blue moon.
It was like the stars aligned when Nickelback guy married Avril Lavigne. Canada’s finest together at last!
They just got played to death on the radio and his voice is pretty distinctive so all the songs sound the same. And it's a bandwagon thing.
