    Your post reminded me of something my daughter pointed out me a couple of days ago.

    She YouTubed three hit songs for me:

    Creed--WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38Lu9Kfs0vM

    The Calling--WHEREVER YOU WILL GO
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDfj8BH6aos

    Nickelback--FAR AWAY
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op9tWxu6I4E

    They all sound really similar. She also YouTubed Pearl Jam's BLACK from MTV unplugged, and pointed out that the singer from the The Calling imitates a lot of young Eddie's vocal mannerisms.

    That NPR expert would probably say that all of these songs are different, but I think that it is true that there is a certain sameness in what becomes a hit these days.

    HAHAHAHAHA!

    Good stuff!

    While a pile or worthless bands! :D

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, they're a disgrace to Canada.

    But only cause theyre popular in america too.

    um, im being lazy and not reading from the start, so forgive me if im stating the obvious - but change the station. i work at a hospital, but the radio setting for the whole building is in my office - it was tuned to a boring station that played the same track list morning and afternoon every day. I changed it to a better one - three weeks and counting and nobody has noticed - but im a happier girl :) i bet the patients are too ;)

    lol I love the nickleback sucks bandwagon

    I don't see how this band can be called unoriginal when every single emo band should be slaughtered in their sleep. And wtf look at coldplay and listen to that song clocks and then listen to the other song they released as a single

    ITS THE EXACT SAME THING

    At least nickleback released leader of men which is a fricken good song

    i'd say 99% of people that hate them haven't heard anything from those albums.... however i dont think those songs are good enough to make up for the horrible horrible shit they write now

    besides canada and usa, the rest of the world has stopped buying that shit. the last three records are a one hour song each with subtitles on the sleeve so you can follow the story. i'm embarrased they are from canada
