Is Nickelback really a bad band?

Yes people hate them.

Well, i'm no musician. So, i can't really judge from the "technical" aspect if they are bad or not.

Apart from that, i have listened to some of their songs and i don't find them disgusting or unpleasent to say i hate them.

Musically speaking. Yes.

But just because a band or artist doesn’t have much depth or skill doesn’t mean all their songs are bad. Nickelback has a few songs that are ok.

People just jump on the band wagon. They're not that bad.

People hate them, but only because it seems like a popular thing to do.

No, they're not bad. Neither is Creed. Creed is a good band that gets hate. Heck, Nsync wasn't a bad band either. Justin Timberlake was very talented.

I wouldn't call myself a fan but a few songs of theirs that come to mind right now, were decent.

They are superior musically . Only a few bands can be said to be technically superior to nickel back. Spice Girls and Milli Vanilli are just a couple who surpass them.

No, they are no better or worse than many of the rock bands that came out of the same time period, 3 Doors Down, Creed, Papa Roach, Shinedown, etc...hell a lot of people seem to like Linkin Park and Disturbed.

I'm a fan, what can I say. I never understood all the hate they get. It's cool if you don't like their style but hating them just because everyone else does is dumb.

Honestly, I think they're pretty bad.

Hating Nickelback is just a meme that some people take too seriously.

I don't think they are a bad band at all. Have some good songs.

Nickelback has some of my favorite songs.

@lan_fan: Agree with this.

Votes are 50/50.

They aren't that bad.

I’m personally not a fan, but music can be subjective so there’s that. More power to their fans (which I believe is a great many) and people that do like them
