Say what you want about Nickelback, but they have sold a ton or records, have a huge number of hits and have influenced many bands as well. Am I a fan, nope, but you can't discount the effect they have had on the industry as well.

Agreed, they've had a massive negative affect on the music industry, and the quality of mainstream music since the mid to late 1990's. Same with Linkin Park. It ushered in a whole new era of crap. Groundbreaking indeed.
