A misunderstood, but popular rock band from Canada. They are hated on by so-called "rockers" who claim that they have gotten softer as their career has progressed, and because the rest of them don't have long hair like Chad does. Maybe, but they still have hard rock songs on their albums as well as those power ballads that have influenced such bands as Saving Abel. Just because Chad Kroeger has chosen not to scream all the time and be blunt in his songwriting instead of metaphorical like your rockers do is no reason to hate on them. They are not talentless fucks as you would like to believe. It's not their fault they are so popular. It's the fault of the fans. If it wasn't for us fans, dedicated and casual, they would be obscure.
Everyone seems to hate on Nickelback because Chad chose to start being a blunt lyricist from "Silver Side Up" onward instead of metaphorical like he was on "Curb" and "The State". They don't just talk about sex, drugs, and rock n roll like Buckcherry and the like do. Nickelback have had topical songs. Have Buckcherry et. al. done that? Maybe, but not very often. You say that the women who like Nickelback only like their ballads. WRONG! I like their rockers as well, and I'm a woman, and their biggest fan.

Get the Nickelback mug.The best band in the world. My obsession. People, don't listen to the lying idiots. Nickelback is a truly awesome, talented band that I would die without. They sing a variety of songs, some slow, some hard, and a few almost country. Nobody will ever write and sing songs as well as Nickelback does.

The 1985 US nickel is the official Arbitrative coin. It has an integrated test of vigilance in that the "5" can be easily mistaken for a "3" by mere mortals, thus the 1983 nickel is purely anti-Arbitrative in nature. All 1983 nickels received by the Arbitrative vault are nailed to a wooden board. The board is situated next to the vault so as to forever taunt the impostor coins. The Arbitrative vault of verified 1985 nickels is protected in an undisclosed location by a terrible creature named Metro that otherwise cannot and must not be described.
When the cashier handed over my change, I was delighted to see it included that most beautiful of all coins, the 1985 nickel.

Get the nickel and dime mug.A band that writes catchy songs. One cannot help liking their hits and singing along to the lyrics. They are comercial, but their music is down-to-earth and not wannabe-tough shit like other bands (3 days grace, staind, kid rock...). They are pop rock, post-grunge, hard rock, however you want to call them.
I like music that sounds good, I do not discriminate genres; Nickelback's radio hits sound good to me, therefore, I like them.
