Name me the bands that Nickelback sound like. I'd say it's reverse, that they sound like Nickelback. So that makes Nickelback the original. Take or leave it, but they are the defining pop-rock band of the the past decade.

You must be new to the party: Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Seven Mary Three, Bush, Soundgarden, Metallica, ACDC, foo fighters, creed. Pretty much every grunge/hard rock band in the 90's with a #1 hit.
I sometimes think Kurt killed himself because he knew bands would take his music and turn it into a bland corporate mechanism (like nickelback). Meaning Kroeger killed Kurt
from the future, which adds another item to their list of impressive, yet shameful accomplishments.
