Nickelback...

[allwildgirl]

Boy, they just keep writing that same song over and over again, don't they?

 

[pixie9]

You said it!

 

[allwildgirl]

Maybe they're trying to get it right???

 

[pixie9]

I always thought their name should be 'piggyback' as in each song piggybacks the last one.;-)

 

[paxy]

As a fellow Canadian, Shelley, you have no choice but to love everything they put out.

>Maybe they're trying to get it right???

They're not having much luck, eh? Maybe the 45th time is a charm....

 

[allwildgirl]

Cheryl - I refuse. I don't care if it's unpatriotic. I also refuse to love Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Alanis Morrisette

Evily - do you remember last summer, me diving to change the channel on your car radio every time a Nickelback song came on (which was far too frequently, IMO)?!

 

[materialsgirl]

I remember it all too well, Shelley. They are waaaaay overplayed on the local radio stations here. Blech!

 

[EVCT]

After the spread on MTV cribs,they seem to have a ton of cash, though.

Okay, Shelly, you don't have to like the above 3 mentioned even though the latter mentioned is just so darn cheerful. How about the one hit wonder who sang "Black Velvet and that Little Boy Smile"?

Cheryl

 

[materialsgirl]

Oooo, she was Canadian??? I had no idea!

 

[allwildgirl]

Alannah Myles. Nope, don't like her either.

What about the GOOD Canadian bands, like The Tragically Hip, Billy Talent, Arcade Fire (TeTe will back me up on that one)... I like Sarah McLachlin's early stuff too. We have great music. It just irks me that the ones who make it so big can only write one flippin' song.

 

[paxy]

I hear you on the one hit wonder songs. There was also a singer from Calgary that sang "How to Be Insensitive". I really liked that song, but have yet to hear another from her. How you know all the names of these singer is amazing. I know the song but not who sang them.

Cheryl

 

[pixie9]

I'm not Te Te (sorry 'bout that), but I will back you up on Arcade Fire. Also the Cowboy Junkies are Canadian and IMO, they are great!

 

[allwildgirl]

LOL - Carolyn, don't apologize! I'm glad you could back me up. And yes, the Cowboy Junkies are (were) great too.

 

[saia11]

Yech, Nickelback, Nickeback, Nickelback, Nickelback...over and over again. Even if you liked THE song, how could you get past the hair/eyebrow fiasco?

Sigh...The Hip, the just keep getting better, don't they? I love World Container. :7

[allwildgirl]

The Hip are brilliant. I don't have World Container yet. I aspire to seeing them live, but they sell out so quickly around here it's nigh on impossible to get tickets!

Conversation with hella cool Canadian friend (HCCF)hearing Nickelback on the radio

HCCF: Ooh! Nickelback! They're Canadian
Me: So is Karla Homolka
HCCF: Oh dear!

So, have I told y'all how much I loathe ol' Nickelback

 

[Lean Lori]

Everytime I hear a Nickelback song I vomit in my mouth a little.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA

I just usually throw my back out trying to get to the radio to change it. Except that my co-worker listens to a radio I have no control over, so I just go to my happy place.
