I used to think that Nickleback were okay. But now I think they sound pretty much the same in every song they play. Chad has only one vocal tone...heavy!  It just bores me now...

Someone should give the lead singer of Nickelback some Ex-Lax or something.

Probably the worst band ever. Went from mediocre to literally sickening.

Tell me about it.  Every other grunge band has died off within 4-5 years but Nickelback still keeps going.

On behalf of the people of America, I would like to present this gift to the people of Canada for giving us Nickelback.

And Celine Dion.

And Dan Aykroyd.

And Justin Bieber.

And for NOT giving us The Tragically Hip.

EAT IT, HOSERS!!!

Check it out...seems that there's been an ongoing joke concerning Nickelback's Wikepedia page.

Ever since Sept 2005 there has been a rash of rough "updates" and edits to their bio.

Funny as hell...

I thought they were from Seattle.

And I have to respectfully disagree. Yeah, their 80's stuff was sappy, but back in the 70's Heart rocked.  http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/10/ylsuper.gif

You're right.  So am I.  The Wilson sisters are from Seattle but the band formed in Vancouver, BC.  My sisters looooooved Heart.  I thought the band was totally insufferable for some reason.  I like it well enough when I hear it now (I mean the classic stuff from the seventies), back then I thought it sounded like a vacuum cleaner strangling a cat.

Furthermore, Ann Wilson & Mike Reno had a HUGE hit in 1984 with "Almost Paradise," which I still think is a hideous piece of crap.  Mike Reno, courtesy of another great Canadian musical institution: Loverboy!

"Almost Paradise" is still better than the 98% of radio music that comes out today even if you think the song sucks!

Their duet sounds like a rusty hinge in the summer breeze.  Actually, I would choose a rusty hinge over "Almost Paradise" any day.  Don't get me wrong.  I like sappy pop songs...but not that one.
