I can't say I really like their songs, but I don't get what people find so obnoxious about them either.

    That their songs are completely interchangeable, boring, and forgettable, yet they're still really popular for some reason.  Though I guess that's not terribly different from a lot of other artists.
  • KhwarizmiKhwarizmi
    Because you never know what you might see.
    Yeah, popular band, not regarded as particularly clever or complex, don't think there's anything more to it, really.  Lots of other bands are hated for much the same reason.

    ^^^ Basically this. They're far less Led Zeppelin than they think.

    Also, they might be jerks. I dunno. 
  • TheConductorTheConductor
    I like "I'd Come For You",
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    ^  ...That sounds weirdly sexual.
  • VorpyVorpy
    ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    So does "Learn how to Crawl".
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    But not "Let it bleed" sexual, more like "Dude,  sex lolololololo drooll" sexual.

    I think it's because they try to be all "grunge" but they end up sounding really mainstream.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Don't go hipster on me, bro.
  • DYREDYRE
    ^^ No, I just don't like them because they're boring.
  • MyrmidonMyrmidon
    Yes they are boring, but so is all the popular music released between my fifth birthday and my sixteenth.
  • VorpyVorpy
    ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    Everything mainstream on non-mainstream sites is easily hateable, don'tcha know? I am pretty sure their 2,000,000+ other fans don't think they suck.

    Must we really get into subjectivity is subjective again? 

  • VorpyVorpy
    ☭Unstoppable Sex Goddess☭
    Yes, we should. Because this entire wankfest can be solved with realizing that mainstream is mainstream for a reason. Because a lot of people like it.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    But I want to whine about how their music sux! Why can't I?
  • DYREDYRE
    But this is IJBM and bitching is fun.

    ^ The only bitching that matters is mine, DYRE. Everyone else's is stupid and dumb.

    Because for every Juan_Carlos that thinks Nickleback sucks, there are two Juans who don't.

    Check their Myspace/Facebook friends/fans and search "Juan".

    I'm through with standin' in lines to clubs I'll never get in
    It's like the bottom of the ninth and I'm never gonna win
    This life hasn't turned out
    Quite the way I want it to be
    (Tell me what you want)

    I want a brand new house on an episode of Cribs
    And a bathroom I can play baseball in
    And a king size tub
    Big enough for ten plus me
    (Yeah, so what you need?)

    I need a a credit card that's got no limit
    And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
    Gonna join the mile high club
    At thirty-seven thousand feet
    (Been there, done that)

    I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
    My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
    Somewhere between Cher
    And James Dean is fine for me
    (So how you gonna do it?)

    I'm gonna trade this life
    For fortune and fame
    I'd even cut my hair
    And change my name

    'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
    And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars
    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
    We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

    And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
    In the VIP with the movie stars
    Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
    Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair

    And well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
    Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

    I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
    Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
    Sign a couple autographs
    So I can eat my meals for free
    (I'll have the quesadilla, ha, ha)

    I'm gonna dress my ass with the latest fashion
    Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
    Gonna date a centerfold that loves
    To blow my money for me
    (So how you gonna do it?)

    I'm gonna trade this life
    For fortune and fame
    I'd even cut my hair
    And change my name

    'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
    And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars
    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
    We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

    And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
    In the VIP with the movie stars
    Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
    Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair

    And we'll hide out in the private rooms
    With the latest dictionary of today's who's who
    They'll get you anything with that evil smile
    Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

    Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

    I'm gonna sing those songs that offend the censors
    Gonna pop my pills from a Pez dispenser
    Get washed-up singers writin' all my songs
    Lipsynk 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

    Well, we all just wanna be big rockstars
    And live in hilltop houses, drivin' fifteen cars
    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
    We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat

    And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
    In the VIP with the movie stars
    Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there
    Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair

    With the latest dictionary of today's who's who
    They'll get you anything with that evil smile
    Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

    Well, hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar
    Hey, hey, I wanna be a rockstar

    Vorpy, we know that opinions are subjective, you don't need to point that out every time someone states one in order to shut down conversation. yes, people with other opinions exist, those of us who are not afflicted with brain malformations can figure this out on our own, we don't need to be told.
  • VorpyVorpy

    we don't need to be told.

    Yes, you do.

    Well, I think they suck. My opinion is my own, no?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    OK, I know somebody out there likes them, you don't have to tell me that.

    But I don't. Why can't I express that?

    Regardless of what you think, how often you do it manages to be even more annoying than your constant shitposting.

    Definitely not gay.

    I listened to some Nickelback songs.


    My ears CANNOT STOP BLEEDING


    It's like it Coldplay tried to be Nirvana after Chris Martin or whatever his name is smoked 6 packs a day for 5 months

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Thanks for telling us that, 17 months later!

    Why create a new thread when a perfectly good and relevant one already exists?

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    Oooh, can we get into a necromancy versus creating new topics debate now?


    It's been done to death, but I'm sure we could pull it off somehow.
