Bands like Hanson, the Jonas Brothers, Simple Plan, and Hootie and the Blowfish and wrote their own songs and all are/were hugely successful. But no one will remember them in 20 years other than to cringe at the fact that people ever liked them and Nickleback will be the same because they have few if any redeeming qualities. They're successful, but disposable.
Yeah, but that wasn't the point we were responding to. We were responding to this...

No really. At least he has talent and writes and plays music. The "artists" I really dislike are those that can't sing, can't write music, and are basically a manufactured product.
