TS: Limp Bizkit vs Nickelback

I legitimately enjoy "Break Stuff." It's fun! AFAIK there are no fun Nickelback songs.

"Rollin" was the theme song to NHL Hitz 2003 which I played endlessly as a teen so I'll always love them for that

and yes that Bizkit's music is way more fun, I mean you could never do something this great with Nickelback

need write-in vote for "waterboarding myself"

Back in the day, I preferred Nickelback to Limp Bizkit, who I thought were really annoying, but now I'd almost certainly switch my opinion (no real desire to go back and relisten). Bizkit were more ambitious and surprising even if not always successful; Nickelback stayed in the same bland lane for every song of theirs I've heard

the first limp bizkit album is SO energetic

I'd have to go with Limp Bizkit. If I'm stuck on a deserted island sniffing farts for eternity, I guess I'd end up preferring a little variety in the fart scent profiles instead of the same exact fart over and over again.

I actually worked for Nickelback's label for five years...and I'd still vote for them.

Otoh someone did an AMV of "Photograph" set to footage from vintage anime Doraemon and I cryed every tiem.

wait a second I just remembered this

dunno if there's a more perfect chorus than "I love pants, and I love feet"

I vote Nickelback solely because “How You Remind Me” is the song that got Constantine Maroulis booted off of American Idol

Never mind it as an Idol

PANTS

FEET

has someone done a durstless mix of the first 3 bizkit albums because I love hearing that rhythm section when he's not yapping all over it

types of nickelback songs from worst to best:
- the sappy cliche ridden plodding blown out butt country ballads with absolutely nothing to recommend them
- the repulsively horny greasy misogynistic hard rockers which pair shockingly good riffing with utterly indefensible lyrics
- the down the middle mid tempo chuggers with heart on sleeve sentiments specific enough to feel genuine and broad enough to be relatable to anyone (most of the hits)

The first ten songs on Limp Bizkit's Greatest Hitz are just the thing sometimes. I was never a 'fan' yet I can sing along to all of those so maybe I was/am.

Except possibly the kinda boring hip hop cred one.

After that though the CD goes into the insipid sensitive-hulk stuff that plagued their later years.

I like their stabs at atmospheric quasi post-rock whatever on the first album too. Do they have fans that hold the opinion that they went wrong when they abandoned art rock? (Or did they, even? A Durstless version of those first three albums might reveal something very different at times. Wes Borland ended up making albums of AFX-inspired instrumental noodling as I understand it).

limp bizkit is the obvious choice tbh

nickelback wouldn't have been able to rhyme 'sorry' w/ 'story' on "how you remind me" (their one good song) if they weren't canadian

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I don’t care about either of these bands but I was in a band with a friend of the nickleback bros so I’ll vote them. Alberta!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

everything about that fredhammer song and video is amazing

Exactly what I expected

If you want some to match against Nickelback it’s got to be Creed

Someone

"fredhammer" cracked me up, thanks frogbs.
