Why does everyone hate Creed and Nickelback so much? I mean, sure, they're not Savatage or the Royal Philharmonic (jondra?), but they do nice little anthemy songs. I've never understood the vitriol.




Personally I hate them because they're safe corporate created rock bands who's music is designed to appeal to middle of the road consumers. Also their success has inspired other bands to produce the same bland sounding shit music.



have you listened to the radio in the last, oh, 50 years? That's all there is. No one is making out of the box music because there's no money to be made in it. Maybe Rage Against the Machine. And that's a big maybe. And if the record company dropped their support, it would be over. Sure, Morello did the Nightwatchman thing, but I doubt he sold tons of units.

Very few acts have carte blanche to do whatever they want. Especially if they want to make music as a career, rather than as a hobby.
