Pop music sucks. People who listen to it like shitty music.

Your 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.
But to ostracize all opinion to the contrary, just because you value your opinion so highly. . .well that's what we call a douchebag. . .or a political pundit.
My position is that they are 2 different types of bands. They play 2 different types of music.
It would be like comparing Beach Boys to Black Sabbath.
I think Nickelback is very good at what they do. . .I just don't particularly like their music. I respect it, but do not prefer it.
I liked Coldplay early on, but have lost touch with them. They are good at what they do.
There is a place under the rock tent for both of them, just on different stages.

they are all talented entertainers making a living off of horribly shitty music

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.

not really. both of those bands were highly innovative and have revolutionary albums under their belt.

I mean Nickelback is sort of to music what mullets are to haircuts. Sure, it's an "opinion" that people with mullets are an embarrassment to themselves. That said it's really not debated that it's a lower level of taste that prefers that look, except among people who have that haircut.

Yeah and if the difference in ability and catalogue between the two were even close then I would back you up, but in this situation it's so much of a blowout that you can just go ahead and look this over.

To be clear, I am not a fan of theirs, but that stance reeks of elitist snobbery.

This isnt a matter of who likes which band better. If anybody on here knows a little about music, and they still think any person in nickelback (or hell the whole band for that matter) has as much talent as chris martin, banhammer. Immediately

I don't like to take that position but in this situation I have no choice. Nickelback is just. that. fricking. bad.

Dude 
I can't even compare them in my mind. I think they both do what they do well.
Neither band tries to be what they are not, and that further muddies the comparison. There is just no crossover or overlap to draw from. . .
Maybe I just look at things a bit more objectively.
And, fwiw, I can't think of a single band that I "hate".
Just bands that I listen to, and those that I do not.
ETA: You aren't the first to get annoyed at my objectivity and even-handedness. It irks my wife to no end, during high profile court cases.

Perfect example.

My wife is still pissed that I not convinced of Casey Anthony and Zimmerman's guilt.
I wasn't convinced with OJ until the bloody glove and Bruno shoes.
I am the most interesting juror in the world.

Sounds more like you are the person who tries to be different and get attention by disagreeing with the norm. What a rebel

The mere existence of this thread has sent music back 100 years.
