Here's the thing, I'm not a huge Nickleback fan. That said, I think there's something to be said about their music; they have mass appeal (not here evidently) and several songs that became extremely popular.
Is that the issue? The popularity? Are we shunning the sheeple's music?
I just took a little more crap from a friend here about the whole issue. Seeing as how I do not own any of their songs, I had to YouTube search for them. (Notice how I don't possess any of their music, you judgy folks). And, yeah, I like their songs, some of them quite a lot. Have I gone to a concert? Nope. (Although while conducting my mini-research on them I learned they opened for Bon Jovi once - I'd have gone to that).
In another conversation with this same friend, I noticed that he is of the one favorite song variety and that favorite song never changes. I, on the other hand, like a wide variety of music and my favorite song changes frequently (maybe this musical mindset allows me to like what you all loathe).
So, I am curious. Not about your lack of love for Nickelback, but about your favorite songs. Specifically, are you fiercely loyal to one or a few favorites or would you be hard pressed to even name a favorite? What do you think this says about your personality?

There is so much music that I love, and I am always finding new stuff that I like and yet always seeking more. Certain music can evoke powerful emotions or memories for me, so I try not to overplay those pieces as I don't want them to lose their magic on me.Not a fan of the Nickelback, I'm afraid - though travelling in a car with my friend and her little kiddies in the backseat, hearing one of them burst out singing "I like your pants around your feet"? Was worth it seeing the look on her face then hearing her mumble something along the lines of "I told him not to listen to that stuff in the car with them "
I would say I'm fiercely loyal to two songs which are my favourites - no matter what my mood, they fit perfectly - and I have favourite artists but mostly the stuff I listen to varies. I have eclectic tastes - classical, blues, rock, pop, top 40, indie, gospel, country. Just whatever floats my boat at the time, I guess.

What it says about my personality? That while I like the stuff I like, I am more than willing to try new things. In other words: I'm open minded
Nickelback are Canadian and up here most people refer to them as Nickelcrap. Most probably because they sound like another forgotten band called Creed.
I feel like someone just shot me right through the heart.
Die-hard Creed fan here. Nickelback could never even come close to the magic between Mark Tremonti and Scott Stapp. *sigh*
I can kick his ass for you.

Have I told you how much I like One Direction?

remind me to share a spotify playlist with you that you'll probably love, then.j quoth:
now, a couple songs that grace the soundtracks of john hughes films also played; best not knock those! i nearly posted about them in the guilty pleasures thread over in the BDSM cafe, but i actually do not find them to fit. i love them; i proudly (and rather loudly) sing along to "if you leave" and "don't you (forget about me)."
i agree, i think they're hideously overrated.kalamain quoth:
i'm a brit that thinks the beatles were just, at best, an average band that got a really good PR guy.
