My name is Jake and I like Nickelback and Matchbox 20.

In the minds of others, I have the worst music taste ever. I like Matchbox 20, Nickelback, Backstreet Boys and Savage Garden, to name a few. I've never seen the hate, especially about Nickelback. They're no worse than any other band, IMO. Same with Matchbox 20 (Which their new album is pretty awesome, by the way) and the others. What do you listen to that 'most' people 'look down' on?

  • Well, this one time I told this guy I liked John Fahey, and he mocked me for not preferring Leo Kottke. He told me I sucked, and that his tastes were better. I've never seen the hate, especially about John Fahey. He's no worse than any other fingerpicker, IMO. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] jaythenerdkid Backstreet Boys are cool in a cheesy way.[/quote] Cheese is a great condiment. You can't have cheese in every recipe, of course, but there are those times were it really complements the overall recipe (composition). That's why I can enjoy X Japan's [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eqmkgSeYjI]Art of Life[/url] in it's entirety with a big smile on my face. The cheesey 80's vocals, the early 90's speed metal guitar, the theatrical strings, as if they belonged to the ending of a film, all of it fits so well before and after the avant-garde piano solo.

  • Nickelback has some good songs, I just hate how they write the same song over and over and over just with a different riff and how its the same singles over and over.

  • People hate Matchbox 20? As for Nickelback, I like some of their songs, don't have a keen interest on the band though.

  • I really dislike Nickleback and Matchbox 20. Just not my taste. I listen to Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal,etc which I guess alot non-listeners would look down on it. [Edited on 09.13.2012 8:04 AM PDT]

  • Matchbox 20 are okay, I didn't even realise people hated them. Backstreet Boys are cool in a cheesy way.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] uncle w0p Owl City.[/quote] He was my favourite music artist until his new album. He's just trying to join the mainstream crowd now. I loved his old stuff though. And I don't care what anyone else thinks.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Blackbird42 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SilentA98 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Blackbird42 I dislike Nickleback because a good percentage of their songs objectify women, and talk about drugs and money. What's worse is they don't even try to be classy about it. I hate rap for the same exact reasons so why would I support a band that does the same thing using a different genre?[/quote] I agree, but nickelback do have some really, really good songs. I hate rap though. Its not music, its not emotional, its someone with fake strapped on them talking about things that insult most people, and its irking more than anything. I listen to country, and occaiosnally rock though... If you find good country songs, they sound amazing.[/quote]Not all rap is completey derogatory, it's just that it's easier to sell the derogatory stuff than it is to sell rap that has legitimate feeling in it, it's because of the youth and how they're obsessed with "gangsta thugness". As far as country, it's alright, can't listen to it though, reminds me of stuff I don't like thinking about.[/quote] Thats true... And thats too bad. Although I have to agree, sometimes I end up going through old memories I'd rather just like to forget. But thats what music should do, it should bring out emotion. Most music today just can't :/

  • I like two Nickelback songs, and nearly every Matchbox Twenty song. Matchbox Twenty's new album is number 1 in US and Australia right now. I was unaware anybody hated them.

  • Most of the music I listen to is too obscure for anyone to 'look down' on it...I think I'm a hipster without even consciously trying to be. But I guess some people look down on MUSE, and they're my favorite band.
