Nickleback is Band of the DECADE!!
- Thread starter darthzew
- Start date
I love that everyone's going "I wouldn't have voted for Nickleback! I'd have voted for [Band I've never heard of]!"
Fun fact, if the band you like hasn't managed to make it's way into the public consciousness, chances are it's not that great. If you like them, brilliant, don't let me stop you, just remember, more people than you have to like them to make them band of the decade.

Nickleback are OK I guess, honestly could've been a lot of worse. I would have thought someone like Black Eyed Peas would do better, they've practically been in the top 10 every week for most of the last decade. They're also better than Nickleback. (Don't take that the wrong way, I don't think they're particularly good either)
Billboard does pay attention to record sales.
Nickelback has sold over 35 million records to date...that's a fair amount especially given illegal downloading...
There are many haters out there for sure but a ton of folks love them.
They know a specific formula...tell a story about life, suffering, triumph or choice and put it to an anthem style melody...play it loud...repeat...
That's why the graph at the top of this post is spot on...
PS: I actually think they're a good band and they so don't play in my wheelhouse of listening taste.

Yeah, because fame=quality. Maybe you've never heard of lots of bands out of ignorance and it has nothing to do with their fame or quality.Chipperz said:
And seriously, does Nickleback even sell? I mean, who buys their albums? To be honest, I expected something like The Killers, Muse, Radiohead, The Black Eyed Peas or something along those lines... Oh well, I don't listen to bands because they sell a lot, and I've lost my faith in "the mainstream audience" a LONG time ago, so I don't care that much.
Nickleback sells. Nickleback clearly sells. The entire basis of the Band of the Decade was sales, so Nickleback must have sold more than any other band to get to the top spot.JMV said:
Also, if a band is good, it's only logical that they would get more fans, and get more sales. While some shit bands do get more sales, mostly, they are bands that are popular, and as much as metalheads who wish it was still the 70's don't want to believe this, they are playing what the public wants to hear.
That's like getting an AIDS test and the doc tells you "You're results were negative but we did learn that you have Syphilis."TheNamlessGuy said:
Anyway about the article this is the exact reason I stay away from that billboard and pop much stuff.
I must be in the fade. This can't be real, it's all a dream, and Nickelback are Demons trying to control my mind .....right
see we underestimate the power of 14 yr old girls they A) actually buy CD's and B) have no taste in musicdarthzew said:
example the most hated band in australia atm shortstack still are number one based off of sales there music sucks and basically everything they do even there album cover is a draw for 14 yr olds
Nickelback is horrible... People were talking about it in school all the time, so I checked it out and I only confirmed once again that common folk have sucky taste in music... Why it sucks I'm not getting into again, I think most music forums will have my rant on there somewhere by now!
Yeah, 14-year-olds have always sucked... This 14-year-old girl bought all the Iron Maiden albums she could find and got excluded because of it^^ (no big loss, my friends now are way cooler than those losers...)alinos said:
