    Pearl Jam have brought this upon themselves.

    Trust me there are thousands of bands that list nickelback as an influence. These bands are from a younger generation so we may not know of them yet. I teach a music production seminar during the summer and there are a lot of high school kids who like nickelback. sad but true.
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    I'm going to assume then that the people saying they hate Nickelback for writing pop music, and saying the American public doesn't know a damn thing about REAL music and will buy any poppy crap on the radio:

    1. also refused to buy Backspacer on principle after Mike admitted in an interview that they deliberately wrote a poppy album, and

    2. took no part in the numerous threads that sprung up on The Porch charting how well Backspacer, The Fixer, and Just Breathe did on the charts (because the American public only buys crap music like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, right?).

    Because if Nickelback only sold 30 million albums in 10 years because the public likes shitty music, then what does that say about a Pearl Jam album that went to #1 on the charts and spawned two top-5 singles on the U.S. Rock charts? Or two top-6 singles on the U.S. Alternative chart, the same chart that has seen songs by Staind, Marcy Playground, Linkin Park, Fuel, Lit, 3 Doors Down, Oasis, and... gasp... Nickelback... all spend at least 10 weeks at #1? The Fixer was even a top-10 song on the U.S. Mainstream chart, a chart that has been dominated by 3 Doors Down (record for one song with most weeks at #1), Staind, Creed, Collective Soul, Puddle of Mudd, and... once again... Nickelback.

    So either the American public isn't THAT dumb - which means Nickelback isn't THAT bad - or...
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    no it still means that Nickelback sucks and their fans are idiots. there are just enough fans of good rock and roll to put a good band on the top for acouple weeks. :)

    but those bands would have never made any good albums anyway. they are just the next in a long line of shitty butt rock bands. it really is like a different genre. its not like the rock world is worse off because these crappy bands want to chase their crappy music.

    its like saying Miley Cyrus would have started singing like Ani Difranco if Britney Spears didnt exist. she wouldnt. they are just pop products put together by producers in Orlando.

    They're a band that's really popular on Facebook.

    But not quite as popular as a pickle.

    What's with all the hate on Nickleback? I heard the lead singer on an interview and he sounded like a cool guy....and they did a cool tribute to ZZ Top on Rock Honors....why should PJ fans care about Nickleback and what they do or don't do??

    I think its more of just frustration. To have young kids, or whoever listening to Nickelback, a poppy "crap-rock"/corporate band who just wants to make money, instead of a band like Pearl Jam, can be a little bit, disapointing I guess. When you feel like a band like Pearl Jam has earned more respect and should be earning more money, but to see a band like Nickelback, sort of a Pearl Jam lite, or ripoff, getting that attention instead of the real thing.
    words seem so out of place.

    9 times out of 10, anyone with any kind of musical talent most likely will not be inspired by Nickelback.. I'm sure there are tons of young kids inspired by Nickelback, but I can tell you, they aren't ever leaving their parents garage.

    Does every thread that includes differing opinions end up with fighting and hostility? It's almost impossible to have a level headed discussion around here.
