Nickelback and 10 Other Musical Acts You Hate Just as Much
- Posted by Aaron Brophy

The Portugese have even thrown rocks at 'em and despite their party-hearty music seemingly purpose-built for macho stuff like football, people in Winnipeg and Detroit have passionately petitioned against their half-time show performances. Their booking at Motor City's Thanksgiving Day NFL game became such a viral cause celebre that the Can-Rockers headed over to the Funny or Die offices to film a response video, displaying heretofore unseen self-awareness about how much people hate them.
Heck, Canadian music channel AUX even built a Nickelblock app that, once installed, will erase any mention of the band in your web browser.
What Nickelback represents is the dividing line in music's culture war. For their fans, Nickelback's music is a cathartic escape from the drudgery of life -- a place where women magically drop their pants on command, free beers are heaved in your direction at random and the lyrics of songs like 'Something in Your Mouth' qualify as poetry.
But popularity is a double-edged sword and many an act has felt the slicing cut of knowing that for every devoted fan they have, there are just as many people who would rather cozy up with a pickle. (A Facebook group called "Can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback?" (sic) beat the Canadian bad boys.)
The release of Nickelback's new album, 'Here And Now,' has, of course, sent a wave of haterade in their direction, but we thought it important to note that they're not alone.
And so, we present 10 acts people hate as much as Nickelback.

You could have replaced the Spin Dr.s with Billy Corgan. Not that the Spin Dr.s weren't lame...but they were there and gone....Corgan has been a pain in the ears for years.
