Let's take a quick peek down memory lane here... Based on the theory that AC/DC will be forever loved, and Nickelback will be forgotten quickly:

AC/DC:
nominated for: 4 grammys, 1 MTV Video Music award

in 30 years

Nickelback:
nominated for: 2 American Music Awards, 4 Grammys, and Kroeger for his duet with Josey Scott for an additional 3
has already won: 5 Juno Awards, 2 MuchMusic Video Awards, and 1 MTV Video Music Award.
has worked with artists such as Josey Scott, Kid Rock, and Santana.

In six years.

No critical success? Surely you jest.
man, I almost puked...thanks for once again showing us that awards shows are absolute crap now. The awards you listed have far more to do with commercial success than critical acclaim, especially in the last 10 years or so. Where are the favourable reviews from reputable music mags?

check these reviews out:

And no, entertainment weekly does not count as a reputable music mag..

And that tool Josey Scott's band Saliva has similar reviews, because they are absolute garbage.

I didn't know this thread was going to become a prove Nickelback sucks thread, but its kinda fun.
