Better that than to "rip off" someone else I guess. That's why it's pretty tough to nail anyone for plagiarism in composing these days; everything has probably been done one way or another by now.
edit: predictably this thread is turning into everyone posting their playlists and why their fave music is awesome, instead of engaging in a very enlightening debate.

how much has Nickleback varied their sound from album to album? almost zero from what i can tell, to me their goal is to simply make as much money as possible, the music comes secondary. they follow the same formula from album to album because they know that's what sells, they refuse to take risks or expand their range. that's why i prefer music that's off the mainstream, artists that play music they love and enjoy and aren't worried about trying to top the charts
however just because a band is popular does not mean that they suck. Pink Floyd, Tool, Metallica, all are bands that have huge followings but none have stuck to the same formula for their entire existence
