I can relate. I have not heard many bands in the latter '90's or beyond that I find to have a decent sound. Most of them suck badly. But this appears generational to some extent. I am not a Nickleback fan per se, but I don't mind their songs for the most part. Comparatively speaking, they are way ahead of the other garbage I hear nowadays. (Re-run, over-done, been-there-before, boring....)
I haven't heard a NEW head turning band let alone song for so long it is mind-boggling.

You're not looking in the right place. Nickelback is part of the re-run, over-done, been-there-before, boring stuff you speak of..they are the poster boys for crap music. Stop listening to CJAY 92, dig a little deeper, and you might find something interesting. Nickelback is not it.
