They are popular and make gajillions of dollars for the soul fact that they figured white Americans out. Their music contains a simple, easy to digest, 4/4 time signature, and lyrics that contain zero words that a fourth grader can't define. Then they take four songs and rewrite them ad nauseum, and they brand this as HARD American rock and roll (despite being Canadian). Couple all of this with the FACT that the average American is an idiot (MOST tigerdroppings posters excluded), and you find great success.

Being that they found a way to capatalize HEAVILY off of mediocrity, they are the smartest band since the Beatles.
That actually gives me everything I was looking for in an answer

How You Remind Me is the only song I like. Mainly for nostalgia.

All the rest of it is generic pop-country-rock that isn't very good.

Just to be clear - You think that Nickleback is like the Beatles? Or as smart as the Beatles? Or as good as the Beatles? What are you saying?

ETA: That link is hilarious dude

Frick all you music board wanna-be haters.

Nickelback is very talented and they write good music. Just because it isn't complex and uncommercial doesn't mean it sucks.

Grow up and form your own opinions. Hating Nickelback doesn't make you look cool. It makes you look like a tool.

I have. And my opinion is that they're music is soulless, unintelligent, uncomplicated, non-interesting drivel.

ETA: Ole Miss fan... Your post makes sense now.

Read the post in full, the answer is in there.

Still having trouble? here goes...

They are smart LIKE the Beatles... I'm not making assertations of "goodness" nor "likeness".

The Beatles made gajillions off of America by doing exactly what Nickleback is doing now. They figured out how to connect with normal, stupid Americans by making and remaking the same dumb songs over and over again. They changed just enough with the times to keep people interested, but without having to form any greater skill.

No complexity. No "genuine" thought. No need for talent. Simply playing what the masses want to hear.

I don't understand why people single them out from everything else on pop radio, I don't understand this at all why are they worse?

No singling out here. This thread just happens to be about them...

And they are not any worse than most anything else on pop radio; However, they make themselves an easy target...

Maybe it's because they're Canadian.

Ok I have and it's my opinion that Nickleback is a giant, stinking pile of warm dog doodoo.
