nickelback for the simple fact that they are still around and making shit record after shit record.
crazy thing is that people love them :roll:

Nickelback is a band for people who take music for granted, and just sweep anything but what's commercially popular under the rug.

Buying a Nickelback album, or wearing there shirts, or even attending their concert is like wearing a badge that says: "I know there is much better music out there, but I could give two shits about actually experiencing and discovering it and I'm willing to settle for mediocre bullshit."

I suppose Creed is a part of this group, but I just have more of an animosity for Nickelback.

You're dead-on about NIckelback. But I have to go with Creed. Don't forget that Creed made a living off of Jim Morrison/Eddie Vedder comparisons. So while Nickelback does suck (and your statement about it "being for people who take music for granted" is really well said), I gotta say Creed sucks more because they were posers. At least NIckelback makes it clear that they write songs about "liking you're pants around your knees" whereas Creed actually believed were the new voice of a generation....when in fact they were just bible-thumping losers who cashed in on the fact that crappy music ruled the late 90's.

You make a very valid point...

I think it's fair to say that there is no competition as to which is worth the title of "worse band" as they are both less interesting than a box of rocks. Surprisingly both bands have managed to master their own unique practices of ass-sucking and have easily become champions of wasted airwaves.

In their defense though, I have to say one thing: I'm thankful for Creed and Nickelback only because they have shown me a new level of horrid which has resulted in me raising my standards and expectations. I feel I've done my best to find the good in their newly created level of suckage.

Creed sucks more because they seem to have a sense of entitlement.

I think Nickelback know they are the "new" guys, and don't seem as conceited, but they still suck.


...and I base these comments on nothing in particular.

That's the best they've ever sounded! I gotta find a high-quality bootleg of that show.

I totally agree At their height of popularity, Stapp really thought he was the reincarnation of Jim Morrison or something. He really thought people were like "Thank God Scott Stapp has hit the scene because THIS is what rock n roll has been missing for the last 20 years!" I never saw a guy with such delusions of grandeur. As for NIckelback, I bet no one is as surprised at their success as they are. They probably sit in their hotel after a concert saying to each other "Wow, I can't believe nobody in the crowd realizes how much we suck."

I am seeing more and more females wearing Nickleback tshirts at the supermarket, airport, shopping mall than ever before, grrrrrrrrr!
Someone save them from this crap music they settle for.

I heard the new Creed album.

Goddamn I want that part of my life back. I'm not just saying that because it's the cool thing to say.

I speak from the heart when I say these guys suck a monkey dick. Scott Stapp has no musical talent and his writing is piss. Tremonti has come up with some listenable riffs in the past but this record offers nothing of the sort.

At least Nickleback tries to portray some semblance of enjoyment or at least they appear to have fun in making music.

The shittier band of the 2 is Creed. By far. Goddamn they suck. Fuck my dick.

This is like a musical version of Team Edward vs Team Jacob.

Neither is acceptable. You're a fag if you affiliate with either.
