Nickelback- Worst Band in The World?
NICKELBACK- WORST BAND IN THE WORLD?
I don’t want this to necessarily turn into an anti-Nickelback blog. My last post of course dealt with my feelings that they are over-rated and Breaking Benjamin and Shinedown are too good to be touring with them. Today, however, I read that they have been voted as “The Worst Band in the World” by readers of Word Magazine (a publication in the U.K.). While I certainly don’t think they are one of the world’s best, they are probably pretty distant from worst as well.
There are some other choices in there that kind of make sense- Savage Garden, Maroon 5, Snow Patrol (I think they’ve done some pretty good stuff but that damn “Chasing Cars” song brings them down a few good notches…I know…it’s their biggest hit). I can’t really understand Spin Doctors being on the list. They seem to make a lot of “worst ever” lists too. Come on…”Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” and “Two Princes” are 90s greats. I also don’t understand New Radicals (best known for their 1998 hit “You Get What You Give”) They only did one album (Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too) and it was really quite good.
I also thought “You Get What You Give” was a really cool music video (trashing the mall and all)….
The Brits may have it right with some of their choices, but even if you completely hate The New Radicals, did their one release really do enough damage to put them on a Top 15 Worst Bands list? Your thoughts?
