Two things.
1. Listen to this:
It's the exact same song. Creative!
2. The only good song Nickelback has ever done is this one:
As it happens, it was featured in the best NHL game by EA (NHL 10).
GO WINGS!
I don't like Nickelback any more than most, but give me them over the Foo Fighters any day.
Dutch you didn't like Our Lady Peace? Seemed odd to group them with those others...
I've never liked OLP. Now Billy Talent is a quality Canadian Rock band. Same for The Trews.

I think Peng said it pretty well earlier in this thread. Compared to rock music as a whole, ya the Foo Fighters are pretty radio-friendly, pop-rock. But compared to the last 10 years, they might as well be Slayer. At least in the mainstream.....rock just isn't very "popular" at this time. But you know, any band that does this is pretty awesome to me:

Dobber, just because a song is number one doesn't make it good. Nickelback is to music as Budweiser is to beer. Is it offensively bad? No. Is it really excellent? No. It's just simple and easy enough for the general public to consume without having to think about it too much. I'll tell you, the first Nickelback song I ever heard was "Leader of Men" and I loved it. I still think it's a great song. After that though, it was all downhill. They still put out some OK stuff from time to time, but it's all rock-by-numbers garbage that real music fans don't care for, no matter what their genre of preference, much like real beer connoisseurs don't care for Bud, but hey, beer is beer I guess, right?
As for the Foo Fighters, they're somewhere in between. I respect the hell out of Dave Grohl because he's a true musician. He doesn't always make great music, but it's the music he wants to make. The Foos are probably better than about 70% of the music I hear on the radio, but I only listen to the radio a couple times a week, so take that for what it's worth.

Think of how stupid the average person is. Then consider that half the people out there are even dumber than that. This explains why Nickelback was big.
Dave Grohl; an amazingly talented man who wallows in mediocrity...
