Ran across this piece of snark disguised as a report while looking for something else. It's pretty sad.
Nickelback is the top group of the decade, according to Billboard magazine. . . .
Readers of the U.K.'s Word Magazine recently voted Nickelback the worst band in the world, with Kroeger and company locking down an impressive 20 per cent of the vote. Looks like not everyone is a fan of greasy, bleached hair and enlightening, philosophical song titles such as Something in Your Mouth and S.E.X.
Sample lyrics: "Maybe in the parking lot / Better bring your friend along / Better rock together / Than just one at a time / S is for the simplety / E is for the ecstasy / X is just to mark the spot / 'Cause that's the one you really want."
Someone's agenda is hanging out.
I did leave a comment, to the effect that this little gem of an "article" wasn't even tabloid-worthy. It's not -- it's a hit piece disguised as journalism. Looks like the American media aren't the only ones who can't to their jobs.
(Full disclosure: if you read this blog, you already know that I think Nickelback is a very good band. Maybe not the "best" -- that's too much a matter of personal taste -- but up there.)
My thoughts on some of Nickelback's music:
All the Right Reasons
Dark Horse
