Yes, I'm a BIG Nickelback fan and I'm far from any Ken you may know or have seen in a meme!! I also have retained more then the average amount of musical knowledge over my lifetime. I don't have to be told what's good or what's bad by some print rag, e-zine or on-line forum. I have a very eclectic taste from Lee Aaron to Zappacosta. (Yes I could have said ABBA to Zappa but I was keeping it Canadian, eh!)  |
I'm not entirely sure what you think I meant, but the intent was that a lot of people who publicly don't like them might still enjoy the music if it weren't so popular to dislike them.
I personally think Nickelback is fine. I'm not going to go out of my way to listen to them, but I have a few songs in my playlist from time to time.
