Nickelback guarantees I turn to another station. nt

1. I wouldn't listen to a radio station that would play Nickelback in the first place

Since most of the stations that would are "rock", and most rock station playlists seem to include a nonstop rotation of the same 5 songs by the Stones, the Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy, and a handful of others along with some more recent stuff, I can't really take it for long (I can go the rest of my life without ever hearing "Hotel California" again, for instance).

2. Man you aint' kidding!

Non-satellite radio stations are horrible! The rock and classic rock ones are the worst. You described it perfectly. There are times at work that this one co-worker just HAS to have a radio playing when he works with us, and this one local station is the absolute pits. They literally play the same "classic" stuff over and over and over again. Even if they play stuff from a band I like, it's always the most overplayed "hit" or first track on side A type stuff. 6-8 hours of hearing it is unbearable....and then the screaming ads. My head hurts. It's so obvious they're catering to affluent baby boom types who on top of that were never into anything other than top 40 stuff when they were young.

I absolutely hate 'Stairway to Heaven'...and I like LZ!

3. Thank dog for SiriusXM and Pandora.

Besides the local college stations and NPR, I never listen to 'free' radio.

Ever.

6. Oh, they play them on SiriusXM.

SiriusXM is repetitive and commercial, but luckily, lots of other channel choices there.

7. Yeah, I just skip past that crapola.

Little Steven's Underground Garage gets a lot of play in my ride.

The five or six standard rock channels blow chunks.

4. I guess they're the new Creed in terms of mockery.

I can only remember one song by Nickelback ("This Is How You Remind Me" or whatever it was called)--but apparently there's more, and they drive people up a wall. My husband can't stand them.

5. Nickleback is to punk/alternative what Miller Lite is to beer

Tepid, watered down "Radio friendly" garbage IMO.
