If you could listen to one and only one musical group for the rest of your life going forward and the only choices were either Nickelback or Creed, who would you choose? And you have to choose from one or the other, you can't go without listening to music for the rest of your life.
Probably nickleback, but only because they have a way larger library of songs.
Went to a Creed concert years ago and sat through a 5 minute recital between each song explaining how the song came about. If I want to know that shit I'll read billboard but I paid to hear music.
...so for that reason alone., I'll choose Nickleback.
I would definitely go with Nickelback. I don't think they are half bad and really don't understand why they get as much hate as they do :lol: Creed though is just :suicide:Quote:

But since I can't call an audible and claim Alter Bridge, or any of the other more superior offshoot/side projects of Creed, I'm gonna have to go with Nickelback and stick with the first several albums, which weren't that bad, even if they were formulaic.Quote:

I guess I'd pick Nickelback but I'm not a fan of either band. Nickelback is a long running joke up in Canada at least (from DGX's post it sounds like in the US too :lol: ) That late 90's post-grunge/alt-rock genre doesn't do much for me, although I'll happily belt out their hits at a party because they both have some classics.
If I could pick a third similar band, I'd go for Foo Fighters over Creed or Nickelback.
I dunno. There's some really good bands in the Post-grunge genre (alt-rock is just alternative and that's been around since before the 90s). The Foo Fighters are one of them.Quote:
