...and I have and seen both perform live. I hate to say it, but Neil Young's ability to perform has fallen off too much with age. The last time I saw him live, it was a shadow of his former performances. He was still good enough to be enjoyable as a historical curiousity, but performing to a stadium full of people born after he was famous would be a disaster.

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere / After the Gold Rush / Harvest is a crazy three album run.

They haven’t had a hit in 15 years and their most popular songs simply do not trend on anything that any even relatively young person enjoys or spends time on anymore. People don’t have to pretend not to have heard of them, and you don’t have to make up a fantasy that makes liking Nickelback sound like some noble pursuit. It’s just a corny old rock band, like Motley Crüe, that is generally pretty terrible but people of a certain age go crazy for. Embrace your bad taste.
