Everybody hates Nickelback!

I like the sound of the lead singer of Creed. But, I can't say I enjoy any of their (or Nickelback's) music.

I've never understood the abject hatred for Creed and Nickelback... they're mediocre bar bands that despite being derivative of other better bands have somehow found financial success but its not like they're as bad as 99% of the crap the kids are listening to these days.

I confess to cranking up a song or two of theirs every once in a while, but when they came out with Next Contestant (vid, lyrics) I had flashback after flashback of idiots from my days working security at titty bars back in TX. These mental midgets would finally land their "dream girl" and start dating one of the dancers. Suddenly they start wanting to fight anyone and everyone in the club who comes near her.

Man, those places were a study in sociology.[Swim]

Sounds like someone listens to 93.3. ;)

Also this. I think it is funny that everyone picks on them.

I get very annoyed by the VERY dumb lines in hip hop music.

I think I hate Coldplay even more
