[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.

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.

No different to what Coldplay, U2, Inxs all became. All uninspiring.

 

[Raveneyes]

Sitting this one out. I'm not around here enough to be able to describe anyone.

[RedmanWasHere]

In a music terminology sense, is the Nickelback criticism due to whatever chords it chooses to use, the music production or topics of choice?

In general, what is it about music we like or dislike?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

I mean, from a non emotional and nostalgic POV.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

The Nickelback hate was a little over the top, but I'm still not going to pretend they were any good.

 

[por_please_ya]

Some of their lyrics were a bit cheesy lol but I liked many of their songs

 

[raskolnikov]

I mostly hate them because I had a roommate who had SingStar and How You Remind Me was his favourite song to sing. And he was bad.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Burn it to the Ground and Savin' Me are corkers.

Feelin' Way Too Damn Good and Figured you Out next 2 for me.

The above are my Nickelback Mt Rushmore.

Far Away is a stinker.

Animal is meh.

Overall, inoffensive to me.
