Secondly, the argument against them gets weaker and weaker every year as we move away from a forced media stream and into a customized one. I used to hate bands I heard on the radio 5 times a day. Over the past 5 years I probably haven't listened to radio for more than 10 hours in total. In all honesty, I have heard 1 Bieber song in my life. The last Nickelback song I heard in its entirety was at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics. It's just not hard to avoid music that isn't your thing.

I've said it before, but the whole hating Nickelback thing has gone more mainstream than the band themselves are at this point. Heck even middle of the road media has no problem flagging on em at this point.
But back to the core of this article, as one of the guys on x929 put it "If you've ever been to Hanna Alberta, you've got at least a little bit of respect for Nickelback" which is just so damn true.
