I don't dislike Nickelback but rather the dozen or so people that have copied their sound. Pop music is fine every now and then. I do miss guitar oriented rock though. That's why I still listen to 60's,70's and some 80's music. There didn't seem to be so many rip offs then although I know there were some that copied the formula for success ie.....blues oriented rock. But even those seemed to maintain a large amount of uniqueness.
