I hate Nickelback... a whole lot. Generic sound, generic structure, generic everything.
Put power chords in 4/4 time and grunt behind a microphone, and you have Nickelback, or Seether, or Daughtry, or Hinder, or Creed... the list goes on and on.

Sorry if I'm being forward... others can love the music, it is just terrible in my ears though. I know, I know... i'm an elitist asshole. Still though, there is so much better music out there. I'll leave it at that.
