Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.

I actually want to kill people when I am forced to listen to this garbage at work. (I have no control over the radio) I can actually feel myself heating up and shaking I hate it so much. No other band (even watered down pop country) makes me feel like this. These guys have the worst lyrics, (That "I'm a rockstar" song clearly appeals to people who have no life and want to BE a rock star so they live through it listening to this song.) they are ridiculously formulaic, and that guy's voice makes me want to smack him 50 times. I don't even really listen to much rock and roll anymore, but I know good rock when I hear it and this isn't it. They have no talent, use the same chord progression in every song, and start each song with some "heartfelt" lyric, then go into how fucking "cool" they are, which shows blantant arrogance which is so annoying I want to puke. At least the hair metal bands in the 80's had some good melodies to their tunes, but these guy's lack any good melodic arrangements. Nickelback wants to BE those bands from the 80's, but fail miserbly. It's like the old guy who is 80 still dressing like he's 20, but doesn't realize he looks like a damn fool. I'd rather kill myself then ever want to hang out with these assholes, or any of there lameo fans. Time to die. From the hater of haterz, Ben Nickelback = WORST BAND EVER.

I love all kinds of music and usually attracted to something that is high energy, catchy, loud instruments especially guitars and drums. The selection of music I like is so varied that if I mentioned some other R&B groups that I also enjoy, you wouldn't know how I like this kind of music. My point is regardless of what others like or dislike, should not really bother you. It's your personal choice, your personality, the company you keep, mood etc that determines for yourself whether you like them or not. Enjoy the music, the experience and appreciate the choice and selection of music we are offered. On that note going to watch Nickelback at Wembley, London - UK - To all neutrals, if you want to be entertained, today there are only a few who can entertain as much as Nickelback, really high entertainment value!!

I would like to point out one thing and that is Nickleback's music is improving much better now that they are under Mutt Lange's wing. I personaly hated their music from the past but think they have matured from the hate critisism that I personaly think they will improve their sound in the coming years Cheers!!!

Nickelback is a widely loved band by millions of people and as someone who in employed at a place that regularly has huge concerts I can tell you that Nickelback was one out of the few artist among the many diverse singers and bands like Papa Roach, the new band Stereos, Beyonce, Lil Wayne, Blink 182 and Katy Perrey that completely sold out and still had people trying to get in. But then again, like Steven said, every band gets love and hate, its all part of something called fame. Although I have to say, the poll seems overly bias- almost every poll is but some of the artist on that poll are really huge American and Canadian bands and very popular and well liked. Sarah has a point and the results of the poll from the magazine from United Kingdom are interesting but I really disagree, only because they have way too many fans, are extremely successful and I am a huge Nickelback fan! Either way if you think about it this poll wont make a huge effect on them because of there strong network of long time and new fans, not that i'm saying that is what this article is trying to do.

It was simply an interesting fact that a band as hugely popular as Nickelback was voted the worst band in the world by ONE magazine's readers. The poll was done by Word Magazine, not andPOP. Therefore it does NOT relay andPOP's feelings about the band. The poll was NOT taken by andPOP readers. Word Magazine is an entirely different publication that is not related at all to andPOP. Thank-you for your comment though! Nickelback fans sure are protective. As for the bands that andPOP "supports," I think you must be referring to our "Side B" element of the site that focuses specifically on less famous, less mainstream bands. It highlights bands that you might not otherwise have heard of, and gives the sort of "indie" culture a voice. But that is not to say we don't "support" bigger bands - hey, if Nickelback gave us an interview, we'd take it. Dear Rod,

As stated, the information was taken from CHARTattack.com, so if you would like to read their article, I'm sure it's still on the site. And theirs is also not a stab at the band. There is a difference between relaying the news and putting personal opinion into articles. This was not written from my point of view, nor does it relay my personal views on the band, which I have purposely kept to myself. As well, the information is based solely on readers of Word Magazine - not of all magazines. So, yes, 20 per cent of readers of Word Magazine (which in this case was the majority of people who voted on the poll) was enough to crown Nickelback as Word Magazine's pick for worst band. It is simply an interesting fact that a random (and popular) Canadian band was voted as the worst in the world, and was followed by tons of British artists as well as some bigger names like Maroon 5 and Snow Patrol. Once again, this is not my personal opinion. The fact that Billboard has given them honours is great, and furthers the random aspect of Word Magazine's choice. And it's true as Stephen said - every band gets love and hate. Thanks for sharing your comments, I hope this cleared some things up.
