Pretty impressive that they were rated number one most hated on both the male AND female list. A true crossover artist.

With that type of sexual energy, the right may wish to incorporate them into their abstinence campaign using the Clockwork Orangish rehab technique of prolonged exposure to randy teens.

I know exactly one Nickelback song, “Burn It To The Ground”, and I have to admit it’s a guilty pleasure. It also does a fine job of capturing the wingnut Zeitgeist:

We’ve got no fear, no doubt, all in balls out….
We’re screaming like demons, swinging from the ceiling….
We got no class, no taste, no shirt, and shit faced….

We’re going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight

Eric Cantor probably plays Naked Air Guitar to this song.

You’re welcome…

TBogg: Saw this on Balloon Juice, and it is slightly on topic given that this is a music thread (or, “music” thread, since we are dealing with Nickelback and Bieber). The idea of Metallica and Lou Reed together in 2011 is so bad it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Nickelback? Never heard of them, except for the occasional TBogg beat down.

Aren’t they Loverboy’s spawn?

The first Bon Jovi song I ever heard, “Runaway,” prompted me to change the words of the line “ooooooo, she’s a little Runaway,” to “weeeeeeeeee sound a lot like Loverboy.”

Did the survey ask any questions along the lines of “are you shallow enough to believe that someone’s musical taste actually matters?”?

Aww, quit talking about them. One of these days I’m going to wonder what they sound like and I’ll find something they did. If they’re that bad it’s probably best I don’t.

Finally, someone besides me says they have no idea what Nickelback sounds like. I’ve been watching Tbogg and friends whap them about the head and shoulders with wet towels for some time now, and never had the nerve, nor the interest, to comment that I didn’t know anything about them except that Tbogg says they’re a musical (or, more accurately, “musical” group) that sucks.

Thanks to TheBobs and rickhill, I no longer feel like the kid nobody will eat lunch with. I still don’t care who Nickelback is or what they sound like, but it’s nice not to be alone in that oblivion.

You need only watch this until the first chorus to grep their entire oeuvre.

Any more and you might require counseling.

I bet the Ke$ha fans are the ones “most likely to put out on the first date.”

…the top 10 turnoffs were Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Coldplay, U2, Creed, Katy Perry, Lil Wayne and Britney Spears.

What, no Rush?

Also: 1600 is a pretty good sample size, but I wonder what the demographic breakdown was to come up with a list of fairly modern pop names like this. If my first date was crazy for Luciano Pavoratti, I’d be finding a way to move on quickly. The rest of these? Meh. If she’s hot enough, she can listen to whatever the fuck she wants to, so long as it ain’t opera.

Knew the music was bad but had never seen a video. Was unaware that Tori Spelling was the lead singer.

i’ve actually found it to be a pretty decent indicator of compatibility. for example, disco heads and death metal rockers rarely work out. also, too, country western and gangster rap.

I wonder if they do same-sex couples? I want to find someone who hates both Tom Waits and The White Stripes.
