Reed Rothchild | 9,520 Editorials Team · Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Master thread with standings Ratings key: 10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.9 - Killer fucking band. Or artist.8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.7 - Very good, but not quite great.6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.4 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.3 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.2 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people like this, but you are not one of them.1 - Horrible in every way.0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doner24 | 1,195 Moderator · Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 3/10- I don’t like their music at all, but it’s not as awful as some stuff and I have some good memories from the early 00’s with their crappy music playing in the background at parties.

Skorp | 383 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Definitely known to be hated, because it is cool. I personally do not like most of their songs like Rockstar is absolute trash, but there is one I actually like and remember being shocked when it was released. So, I guess 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeatherRebel5150 | 1,056 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 2. And that's being generous. Never liked them. I just really can't stand Chad's voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'd say 5/10 which looks like is on the high end already. I don't go out of my way to listen to their songs, but I also don't think they are as awful as the popular opinion seems to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuNKeY | 241 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Ugh, I couldn't count the times if Nickleback came on the radio I turn the station or completely off. 2/10 Edited November 1, 2019 by MuNKeY because Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themisfit138 | 523 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 3/10 Leader of Men is the only Nickleback song I enjoy. I actually seen them play a little venue back then. They were alright live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 R.I.P. NintendoAge where someone tried to get the value of a Dreamcast signed by the lead singer and everyone basically said "The value of a Dreamcast, less the price of some alcohol and cotton swabs to clean it off!" Anyway, I've always been annoyed by this band and their lyrics were cringe-worthy, which makes it worse. Not a fan, and I never was, even before it was a bandwagon-thing to hate on. 0/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'll give em a 4/10 out of respect for the Deadpool skit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it’s a joke, they’re Canadian so they are worshiped by Canucks along side of Bryan Adams, Rush, Celine Dion and Gord Downie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type | 2,480 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I think a lot of people just enjoy piling on the hater bandwagon. I get that it's a meme, but some people drink the kool-aid so hard that they start to believe it too. All their songs kind of sound similar and they also sound similar to a lot of bands from their era (Matchbox 20, Creed, Lifehouse, Hoobastank, 3 doors down) So while there's nothing here to really get excited about, not really noteworthy enough to deserve the "most hated band on the internet" trophy.

Definitely agree. They have generally catchier songs than a lot of the other samey-samey bands of their time. I paid $5 to see them as part of a summer concert series in Atlanta, back in college. Definitely worth the $5, just for the live outdoor concert atmosphere in a pretty decent downtown location. But not as good of a deal as seeing The Scorpions, Deep Purple, and Ronnie James Dio for $16 total at the same show There are relatively few bands I'd ever pay modern ticket prices for, and Nickelback doesn't make THAT cut, for sure (last one I actually paid for was getting to see ZZ Top locally -- but Weird Al, and a VERY short list of other would be able to extract the current rate of $50-$100/ticket from me) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Gave them a terrible vote but agree they get more hate than they deserve. There is tons of equally terrible music out there on pop radio. Foo Fighters next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralSoul | 502 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I really don't think they're that bad. Generic as hell, sure, and forgettable, but not terrible. I gave them a 5. I wouldn't listen to them by choice but I don't mind when they come on the radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 There's much worse out there. I'd rather listen to Nickelback than to James Blunt or Five For Fighting. They do suck though. 4/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
