Nothing about there "music" does anything for me except make me want to turn the channel or the radio off. The same with AC/DC and Metallica, but Nickelback also leaves an adulterated feeling in my ears. To me it's not so much about them "ripping-off" other musicians, because most musicians to that to some degree, I just really don't enjoy Nickelback's music. In fact, when one of their songs hits the buzz, I reflexively turn off the radio, instinctively to avoid being subjected to music that sours my senses. I do the same to most modern country music, quite a bit or rap, as well as others. But in the rock genre, Nickelback is one band that I can't sit through more than a few seconds of their music.
