I guess we can't criticize them too much, as they're the rich ones and we're the suckers that have to hear their "music" overplayed on stations like CJAY. But I personally can't stand these bands anymore. I used to like Creed and at least a few songs by Nickleback and all the clone bands. There was a song by Staind that I liked. Still do, I imagine.
But the way they've applied the Henry Ford mentality to music made me lose all respect for their "art" and boycott it. Give me a band like RHCP who actually comes up with a new sound for most of their songs. Not just a new beat, but an entirely original sound. Granted, some of their songs sound similar, but a great deal of them sound totally unique. I appreciate that.
