Now, I hope I don't get kicked into some fiery pit of death for saying this, but I still cannot for the life of me understand the utter hatred of Nickelback. I'm no huge fan of theirs, but I've enjoyed a good bit of their stuff over the years; and frankly, most of the criticisms I've heard make absolutely no sense:
-- "All their songs sound the same!" Really? You think 'Rockstar' and 'Burn It To The Ground' and 'When We Stand Together' and 'How You Remind Me' sound exactly the same? Okay, so they do reuse their riffs once in a while; so do AC/DC and Metallica, and it doesn't stop them from being kickass and well-respected.
-- "All they sing about is booze and sex!" Sure, they've done their share of ham-fisted drinking songs, but they've also done plenty of stuff that's actually thought-provoking. Look at 'If Today Was Your Last Day', or 'If Everyone Cared', or even the aforementioned 'How You Remind Me'.
-- "They sound like everything else on the radio!" So you're saying everything on the radio is the worst shit of all time? I know they're not what you'd call innovative or groundbreaking, but neither are most post-grunge bands (The Foo Fighters and Shinedown are two exceptions that come to mind). Sticking to a well-worn style that can be counted on for some good hooks and gravelly vocals isn't the world's worst thing a band could do - not the most remarkable, either, but it's a hell of a lot better than a "creative experiment" that turns out like Brokencyde. Honestly, when a "band" like that exists, calling Nickelback the worst of all time seems a little silly.

I really don't get people's problem with Nickelback. There are so many FAR worse bands out there that are even more popular. Nickelback are actually quite good.
