  • I never understood the dislike of them. I've enjoyed quite a few songs of theirs myself. My favorite is Edge of A Revolution.

  • I have seen them in concert about 4 times, first time in '95 when they played at the club back in I used to go to every night.  One of the times was a free concert on top of Grouse Mountain for Canada Day '99.  :-D

  • Oh, do people hate them? I like them okay.  I've heard it said, all their songs sound too similar. Canadian, eh?

    Apparently, there are people who are either too immature to understand or just can't appreciate real music, with raw and emotional lyrics. Basically, it's just a case of having ****** taste.
    Nickleback is one of my all-time favorite groups. This post was edited by my2cents at January 13, 2017 9:16 PM MST

  • Because their sound is incredibly generic and un-inventive (almost entirely made up of power chords),  Chad Kroeger's voice is grating and unpleasant, and their lyrics are nothing beyond what every other mainstream band writes about. Their music is the McDonalds of rock. Its pleasures are shallow and ultimately unfulfilling. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 26, 2022 6:47 PM MDT

    They got their sound, but so does a lot of bands. If people really care to get to know a band it means they got to listen to more than the few that's been played over and over again on the radios. Hmm. Here's one for you Ma'am. :-)

  • Nevanb pretty much summed it all up.

    Their music and lyrics are generic, simplistic, and about as deep as a 12yo odd girl's diary.
