ahhhh Mr Buckley, we meet again with conflicting opinions?
I'm listening to Nickelback now, and I'm enjoying it. I like cliche'd rock music. I like music I can relate to. I like music that feels like the band or artist are personally projecting to you. As much as you may think the musicianship, artistic skills, songwriting skills are junk, that's fine. Opinions are like clitoris' right?
At the end of the day, there records appear sonically perfect, and we could learn a lot from them. They can connect to an audience that the jazz supremoes can't. It's all about what's appropriate and what's perhaps not so much. They tap into Mainstream, that's fine. That's what they want to do.
Though to be fair, I'm a 17 year old, so I'm still a kid. Therefore it's the kind of music that kids are expected to listen to. Though on the flip side, I'll be playing some Steely Dan later on, and probarbly some Pink Floyd. I might then put a Katy Perry album on, Lady Gaga, maybe a Django Rheindhart or Frank Zappa album?
Let's all be varied, slagging off bands is old news.
Jampottt
