no, I just seriously hate mediocrity and how most people now days are willingly accepting it.

Joseph.

Joseph kind of makes a good point, albeit with a sledge hammer.

To be clear, there is nothing wrong with enjoying something that is pure crap. For instance, my wife and I enjoy White Castle burgers and they're quite popular in the Midwest. Nevertheless, they're gut busting grease bombs and serve no purpose other than to make a turd. The burgers simply suck on many levels...but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy them in moderation.

Same can be said for my music. I like AC/DC, but their new stuff blows chunks, so what? That doesn't mean I can't enjoy cranking up Highway to Hell and rock out! You see, I don't make that mistake that most people do, which is to tie their entire self worth into what other people think is good or bad. Then again, I can also be honest as admit that even though I like them, they still suck.

So...back on topic. Nickleback.

Like Joseph said, they are mediocre. I would add, "At best."

Their lyrics are the equivalent of a Dr. Suess book, they recycle entire song structures and repackage them with new, lamer lyrics. They are marginally skilled musicians and mostly popular for just being popular. They simply lack substance, but have somehow tipped the scales of reason and have sold a gazillion White Castles to the public. They are in essence the Paris Hilton's of the Rock and Roll world and that is the underlying reason why they SUCK!

I personally would rather drive nails through the end of my c*#k before I'd listen to them, but I certainly don't begrudge anyone else from doing so...same goes for that hack Jimmy Buffet...just don't tell me their a great bands...they're not. They're just popular.

Look into your heart...for you know it to be true.

Like White Castle I enjoy them as a 30 pack crave case every 2 or 3 months. It keeps my system regular.

i gotta admit, this is about the only song from them that i'll crank up. might have something to do with the video, though. there's just nothing sweeter than pros drifting and sliding a gp motocycle.... but alas, the lyrics are pretty much what we've been saying for the past few pages....
