I don't have an answer because both suck imo.

It's all taste and preference.

I would say I prefer Coldplay to Nickelback, but they both play different types of music.

Why not compare Coldplay to Muse?

Coldplay is at least talented. I've been to a couple of Coldplay concerts and have been impressed both times

Why do people think a band is only talented if they enjoy their music?

Coldplay/Nickleback is doing something right. If it was that easy to become filthy rich by producing "horrible" music, why isn't everyone doing it?

Everyone thinks that their preference should be everyone's preference.

Some on here take it a bit far, though.

The post that Breesus quoted shows what happens when people think they are the authority on a subject.

They think their opinion is definitive, when it is merely an opinion on a subjective topic. Comes across as douchebaggery, imo.

Wake up dude there's a generation of terrible music out there

Also, im pretty sure floydofpink was saying this question is dumb because Coldplay is a talented band, Nickleback is not. It isnt even a competition.

Nickleback sucks. Most people on here agree.

Objective fact: Nickleback is a terrible sham of a band. They have been boo'd off stages across the world and cities damn near protested the NFL hiring them for halftime shows.

apples vs oranges

Love them or hate them, Coldplay is a legitimate artistic band making creative music. While I'm personally not a big fan I recognize they have talent.

Nickleback is mass-marketed music meant for 12 year old girls.

hard to truly compare the two.

And?

Does that make the opinion definitive?

How is that a fact?

That sounds like an opinion. Stating an opinion as a fact, does not make it a fact.

You're right, its an opinion. But i'll say this, reasonable people can disagree about music in a lot of ways and that's healthy and cool, but I don't think i could respect someone's taste if they honestly felt Nickelback was as good or better than Coldplay.

I'm always embarrassed for Roaad when he posts on the music board. He has a meltdown every time there is a thread about Nickelback.

We get it. You don't like pop music. Can you list all the bands you don't like so that I know which groups are talented?

Pop music isn't any different than its been for decades. People just like to hate on succesful people bc they think than can do it better. You can't.

Their lyrics are pathetic, their rhythms are repetitive and simplistic, their songs all sound the same, when a band is boo'd off the stage multiple times in multiple countries their respect and talent as musicians is in serious question.
