My thread prediction was spot on. We all secretly listen to Nickelback.
You could play me 10 random songs from my playlist and I could maybe name the artist of one of them. I’m so hipster even I don’t know the bands I’m listening to.
Lana del Rey
Zappa.
Those who are into his music are really into it, and those who aren’t generally really dislike it.
I see people hate on Imagine Dragons, Creed, and Nickelback (though the latter two not so much recently)… I like these bands.
Nickelback is good, especially the early music. Imagine Dragons is similar in that they both are kinda hated because their music is really mainstream and accessible, which is in my opinion a pretty weird reason to hate the bands.
I can understand hating something because it’s overplayed and you’ve heard it so much that it just makes your skin crawl.
I have that with Queen’s Radio Ga Ga. When I was working on a cruise ship at 19, I boarded while it was still being constructed and out of the 2 weeks it was in drydock before we set sail, 1 of them was spent testing the PA system by playing that song, on loop, 24/7 for a week straight with no breaks. It was psychological torture. I liked the song at first; never heard it until that. But now, I want to punch a thousand babies if I hear it.
Creed is good. Alter Bridge is phenomenal.
Oh shit, yeah. I had forgotten about Alter Bridge. Haven’t hesrd them in a while. Time to change that!
Nickelback, although I barely listen to them anymore because my music taste changed
People hate Duran Duran? My mum LOVES them. I like a few of their songs.
Never Gonna Give You Up
Rick Astleys song catalogue honestly has some great stuff in it. As a bonus, it’s like half a rick-roll when someone overhears it.

The Spice Girls
I can sing to you (badly) every single lyric of the first two albums
I’ll say it, I like Imagine Dragons. They have some great songs, they just also have some radio rock drivel (oh god Thunder is bad). Also, I saw them live back in 2013 and it’s one of the best concerts I’ve been to.
In 2022, they were my then-12-year-old child’s favorite band, so I took the kiddo to see the band in Milwaukee. Holy shit, they put on a FANTASTIC concert.
Unfortunately they became a bit annoying after a bit but looking back, they’ve put out some fantastic tracks that are hard not to groove to
Kinda like Nickelback. How can you not enjoy Rockstar
My wife discovered them about idk… 6 years ago? She was crazy about their music. She listened to it all the time, and put the music videos on our home theater. Then out of nowhere she suddenly decided that she hates them. She still hates them to this day. I think it might be because their music is so repetitive that it sounds catchy at first and then gets really annoying. Whatever the reason, they cultivated a super fan and then lost her all within a couple of months.
Even though they seem to receive a lot of criticism and have a bad rep, and some people seem to really hate them, I’ve actually always liked Nickelback.

I actually like Nickelback and Matchbox 20.
