Hi guys! Surfing in Net I came across a sentence claiming that Nickelback is another (non)official symbol of Canada? What do you think of it?

As for me I can say that thay can write great songs. I like "how you remind me" and "saving me". What do you reckon?

No it's not. We hate Nickelback thanks to being played every 10 mins thanks to goofy content laws. Not only that but they are from Alberta and the only good thing that ever came out of Alberta was an empty bus. If I saw them walking down the street I'd run them over with my truck.

Nickelback is a stunningly great example of a talented junior high school band.

Isn't there a radio station in Calgary that is advertising being Nickelback free? I should send them $10 just because.

Reminds me of a story from Robert Plant. He heard a station promise never to play Stairway to Heaven, so he called them up and gave them some money.

Can't say. I have never listened to a Nickelback song. But that is not surprising as I stopped listening to commercial radio about three decades ago and tend to turn off the CBC when it plays the music of some minor Canadian talent I have never heard of.

1) Nickelback is a decent band: their problem is the CRTC's rules governing Canadian content on the ariwaves and the inability of the Canadian music industry to keep producing talent capable of meeting the CRTC's guidelines.
2) They are not the blight on Canada culture that Ann Murray, Celene Dion and Bryan Adams are
3) Petros is just jealous of Alberta because he's stuck in Saskawhatchamacallit and we closed the border to his type of Eastern Creeps and Bums back when King Ralph was in office...

There are 2 or 3 Nickelback songs that I actually enjoy, but for the most part I find most of their songs to sound too similar for my tastes. Having to hear them numerous times on a shift due to the stupid rules is highly annoying. I would prefer variety!

I admit to having paid zero attention to Nickleback.

Meh. If you've heard one of their songs you've heard them all.
