But I can't recall Nickelback ever having even one hit. Am I wrong here? How did they get famous?

that's the thing, Nickelback only has one hit, that they keep tweaking and re-releasing

their first song "one thing" actually didn't sound like bad lovely nu-metal but then they couldn't make another song that wasn't horrifically lovely so they turned to nu-metal

it's boring as gently caress compared to rated r

the self-titled was kinda samey too, and nothing they did compares to kyuss or even unida

really they had one pretty decent album, probably had more to do with nick oliveri's influence

Rated R, Lullabies To Paralyze and Era Vulgaris are amazing and the rest of them are really good. The mastering on …Like Clockwork is pretty lovely though. Still has some fantastic songs on it though.

Dave Grohl has done some fantastic drumming but I can't stand him talking, typing or singing.

necklebeard was already suggested and is clearly the superior choice

No, but you did make me think of the Rednex Cotton Eye Joe.

A Swedish bluegrass-techno band.
More of a 1-hit wonder than a Nickelback.

A few years back we had a local band called High Holy Days who managed to get a few videos made and everyone here thought they were going to be the next Nickleback. I dug up the videos on youtube so you can hear what I had to put up with for a few years.

Yeah I think it's their lame attempt to ape Creed's vaguely sort of Christian but not really shtick. Basically pre-Nickleback Canada shat out a lot of these terrible sound-alike bands that radio stations could slot in between mainstream American garbage to hit their Cancon quotas. Now they just play shitloads of Nickleback and I actually get kind of nostalgic for this poo poo.

Here's another terrible band from the next town over that got a fair bit of airplay back when Limp Bizket was a thing.
