Okay this attitude has raised it's ugly head a few times in this thread and it's certainly no better (and I think worse) than the "Nickelback sucks" argument.
I don't like music you (or my dad) haven't heard of because I think it's "cool" to do so. I like it because I like it and it has nothing to do with trying to be cool. Unfortunately I'm a little old for that.
And again -- musicians don't have to make it anywhere to
not be shinguard. Many crappy acts have made it a lot bigger than Nickleback. Anyone ever heard of the Backstreet Boys? Record sales and "getting somewhere" do not = quality. Britney Spears outsells a favorite of mine (Beck) and yours (Nickelback) combined I'm sure by a wide margin. Does that mean it's good music? Not to me. Anyone wanna admit to being a big Britney fan?
