If you look at the Canadian Music Hall of Fame... as a non Canadian myself, there aren't many that I would recognize by name. One year they had five, but normally they only have one per year. Who would you nominate for 2023 in place of Nickleback?

>To be eligible for the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, artists/groups must have had a career that spans twenty plus years from their first recording.

Going to stand by the fact this is not an oniony article. They are one of the highest selling Canadian acts of all time I.e. extremely famous. Im not a fan of their music but its really not odd that a band that sold 50 million + albums ends up in the hall fame.

look, say what you want about them, but the fact that everyone here knows this band name makes for a pretty decent argument for them to belong there

Nickelback gets more hate than they deserve. They've released several absolute bangers. The rest of their stuff isn't bad. It may not be great or world changing, but it's not bad.

Hating on them is honestly just a bandwagon thing.

Time for lots of comments from Nickelback haters who have never actually listened to Nickelback and don’t know any of their songs

I’m not a Nickelback fan, but come on. They’re nowhere close to the worst band.

How is this oniony? They're a massively commercially successful band, no shit they'd get into a hall of fame

I wouldn't use it as a basis for how good i think a band is but i think its fair enough as a metric for a Hall of Fame entry, especially the sheer number that they've sold. It shows that they're one of the most popular Canadian bands of all time, regardless of how cool it is to hate on them.

They made catchy tunes., Why not. Plus i dont get the hate or calling the lead vocals “fugly” wtf does that mean MUCH music? You shit channel.

Replying to DM_WHEN_TRUMP_WINS (#538,261)

Well the metric will have to change as time passes but I think its still a valid thing to look at. The fact that their career part existed in an era where album sales dropped off and they're still outselling or matching the most famous Canadian artists who's peak came in an era where album sales where huge only works in their favour.

You even know his name, sounds pretty famous to me.

Now dont be daft and ignore their placement on top charts.

You are simple a blind hater who jumped on the bandwagon, there are many artists out there that's music isnt for me... but guess what, I don't know any of their individuals names because they don't matter to me.

If we were to play a round of 30 seconds and you are asked to name 3 nickelback songs I am 100% certain you will get it right.

Why you would be so invested in hating something that isn't to your taste is something you should bring up in your next therapy meeting.

While I personally can't stand Nickleback, they deserve to be there, because it's the hall of "fame", not "quality".

Canada may have better healthcare, but god does their music suck. I don't think I've ever listened to a single Canadian band that I've liked.

“Hall of Fame” has about as much credibility as Nickelback, so why is anybody surprised?

Nickelback fans are on this post justifying the induction or defending the band in general. It's pretty funny. I just posted the news and people are going after me for it

You keep changing your argument, first it was how good they are now It's about how famous they are, I don't give a fuck about fame, lots of shit no talent people are famous, but good? Nope that's something nickelcrap definitely ain't.

the more you post the more you prove what a fool you are.

They are good, they are popular because they are good. They are not popular in the same was as the rebeca black's song "friday".

They are not my style but I can recognize their impact and popularity.

But please keep responding, you are just proving you have blind hatred for them for no good reason.

Nickelback is living rent free in your head :P

Lol just because you can't recognize hacks and I can doesn't mean my hatred is blind. My hatred is very well founded in despising low quality no-talent music, which nickelcrap very much is.

I mean you're literally saying every popular artist is by default good LMAO.

Name one popular artists with multiple hits in the top 50 that doesn't have millions of fans?

Just checked spotify, their one song "this is how you remind me" has nearly 700 million listens... surely they must pull quite a fan base if those are the numbers for their most popular song.

I fear you must have bungied with your umbilical cord when you were born and misjudged the length, thus suffering from brain damage to the frontal lobe. Nothing else can explain how you can be this illogical.

I found two songs of theirs that I actually like, Old Man, and Alabama really stood out to me. Words also good but stood out less. The rest of that album was rather bland, and two good songs doesn't mean a good artist. Any other songs like the two I mentioned?

Truth is truth, homie. It's an appreciation of music without bandwagoning on meme-based hatred.

Edit: lol idk if u/DuckQueue got banned or if they blocked me but all of their comments disappeared.

They're harboring so much hate and Nickelback genuinely don't deserve it. Sorry the songs aren't for you, but they aren't bad.

New kids? Spice Girls? They both deserve to be in some sort of music hall of fame because there was/is a large population of people who enjoyed them.

I never got into their music (and the same with Nickelback), but it is clear they made their marks in the music industry and were an important part of that industry.

I've listened to Southern Man and loved it, but after a little bit of research he isn't really Canadian. I mean, he was born in Canada, but it looks like he spent most of his career in the US. I can't decide if I should consider him a Canadian artist or a US one.

Never said so chuckle fucks, but please keep on showing us that your frontal lobe is lacking.

You do know it is called hall of fame, not hall of quality right? quality is subjective, fame is measurable.

Why does a music industry hall of fame automatically = quality?

It can = quality, but it can also be for artists who had a huge impact on the industry and artists who were extremely popular with a large number of people.

Why is this on this sub? Nickelback is Canadian, famous, and creates music. Seems they check all the boxes to be in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
