I think the only difference is people would argue that the first two albums were good, nobody is arguing the first two Nickelback albums are good

Each to their own. I liked Kenicke. Nickleback donothing for me but would rather sit thought their whole back catalogue than listen to one postSyd Pink Floyd song. But as I said each to their own.

I thought he did a decent job, particularly playing with Merson in the promotion season.

You could, and I'd still be thinking "Yeah, but not as bad as Elbow".

I once read an article about them that described the lead singer, the excellently named Chad Kroeger, as the biggest cnut in music.
So there's that.

Travis's tour manager told me that honour belonged to Mark King from Level 42. It's hard to know who to believe. Maybe they both are.

I imagine there are many, many people who could compete for that particular honour in the music business in fairness

Zutons are worse than Nickelback. REM are/were God's.
I agree! He's awesome to!

Musical fence sitters.
They are basically a manufactured pop band, which is fine. But these try to be a rock band but without the edge which doesn't appeal to the rock fans, but possible too rock for cheesy pop fans so they attract a middle ground audience which doesn't have a strong musical opinion either way.
That for me is why they get bad press as they don't have an actual audience who will defend them and push them as there target audience is people who are more musically passive.

One thing you might enjoy are Tim Burgess' listening parties. https://timstwitterlisteningparty.com
Basically a record is played and everyone tweets about it in real time, often the creators themselves. There are loads in the archive too (loads happened during lockdown) that you can watch back and read all the tweets as they were posted. Its a weirdly fulfilling, collective experience and you get some nice moments like New Order counting in Blue Monday etc via tweet mid-session.

One of my best buds in the US is a huge fan of The Charlatans so turned me on to during lock down.
Great call though and any other muso's, audiophiles and people with a bit of time on their hands and don't want to waste it on reality TV should give it a go
