They are just a good for those who don't really care about music and only care about enjoying a few minutes in the car.
McDonalds, Michael Bay, Nickelback, Coors Light, it's all the same thing. I eat at McDonalds and drink Coors Light but I know that if I had the willingness, time and money to really delve into food and drink I wouldn't touch those things ever again.
What I really dislike is the argument that music is entirely subjective and each band is equally valuable. It's not true and destructive to music and art. A band that spends years laboring over an album and releases something that innovates, shows music in a new light, and brings real insight deserves far more praise than a band like Nickelback.
