nickelback

i haf nevah as a matter ov fact HEARD spearmint but this is the korrekt one-line, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I've never heard Nickelback. I think a couple of Spearmint tracks are great though. The question doesn't really make much sense though - since there's zero possibility of Spearmint getting into the charts and since you might as well say "Spearmint or Outkast" or "Spearmint or Shy FX" or anything else in the Top 40.

Spearmint or juicy fruit?

Fruit Stripe!

I'm kicking myself for not including Nickelback in Duel! actually. I said no, too American, and then suddenly they're all over the charts like measles. I might swap some no-hoper like the White Stripes for them, since the White Stripes are fairly harmless and the kidz seem all frothed up about Ver 'Back. Do they really sound like Creed?

Tom, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

YES THEY DO. Only they're slightly catchier, ie, there's one line in the song that I really like, but then they ruin it with the overly moany "This is how you remind me of who I really am" part, which has the potential to be cool if it was in a completely different song that wasn't trying so hard to be the mutant offspring of Pearl Jam and Staind.

Still not as bad as Drowning Pool, though...

who gives a shit about 'the charts'

chaki, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Should we set up a Modern Rock Hierarchy of Crap, just so we know who to really hate?

Something like (worst to least worst):

  • Bad Ronald
  • Custom
  • Unwritten Law
  • Godsmack
  • Creed
  • Adema
  • Drowning Pool
  • Disturbed
  • Papa Roach
  • Nickelback
  • Linkin Park
  • Trik Turner

Alter as you see fit.

Who's Custom, you may ask?

"Hey Mister I really like your daughter
When I'm horny like thirsty
She's a bottle of water"

This band is genius - you can fit any metaphor into this pattern! When I'm horny like bored, she's like TV. The possibilities are endless!

I give a shit about the charts, Chaki.

Tom, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Though not about the presence or absence of individual acts therein.

Tom, Thursday, 4 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Seconded Mark S!

And Nickelback ARE all over the charts and Spearmint well... aren't!!! So it's not even a question!!! Tailored charts are pointless!!!
