[Raveneyes]

No clear standouts for me, several HM's.
Ended up with my 5 and 4 going to genres I don't normally enjoy.
WTF?

The paddle pop lion gets a bote for the lulz. The hate is insane.
Not every song needs to be a musical masterpiece or be a groundbreaking new sound.
Haven't seen that Netflix doco yet, might have to check it out.



Anyway, botes.

4. When Shall I Be Free? - Shpongle

Nickleback is hated for its generic mediocre sound. Nothing but uninspiring

Come on, you’ve got to think some 20 years later the hate was a bit disproportionate.

They were hated because people didn’t think they fit of the mould of what ‘proper rock’ should be, and it was apparently cool to hate a band which in fact was inspiring many people.

 

[eth-dog]

I don't love nor hate Nickelback. They have a couple of good songs though.
