Does anyone here think if Nickelback actually had any songwriting talent, their music would have been listenable?

That statement is retarded. Of course if they had songwriting talent they'd be listenable. I got news for you though, nickelback is listenable with a few good songs. The hate train is just a meme.
So I take it you're a diehard Nickelback fan?
They are very talented in playing, but not im writing. Chad's voice is a whole different level of awesomeness, but i could not bear to listen to a whole album from them.
Yeah, they were so talented in playing that's why they only played open chords. Also, their rhythm is too slow and production is too minimal
>they only played open chords
this is just not true
>their rhythm is too slow
i don't know what this even means
>production is too minimal
this is also not true and very funny
Their production is in fact minimal because they add no additional melodies or harmonies to most of their recordings. It's literally just play monotonous drum pattern, play soulless open chords and predictable bass accompaniment, then add chads whiny voice and there's 90% of their catalogue.
People on this board need to come to a decision about what "good songwriting" means because it is rapidly becoming a buzzword
Anyway I'd say Nickelback knew how to write songs just fine, in the sense of pop songs, they seem to have the formula of a hit song down pat. Their problem is that they're incredibly dull and derivative.
sure. they were all basically session musicians. theres nothing bad about any of them instrumentally just really bland cringey dudebro songwriting
if the sun was cold do you think it would be cold?
Can anyone here recommend me 5 Nickelback songs that are even somewhat remotely listenable?
impossible task, i would rather ride a unicycle and try to suck 2 hard cocks at the same time, their songs are all so good.
>in the sense of pop songs, they seem to have the formula of a hit song down pat
>they're incredibly dull and derivative
Yeah, when you reduce something to a formula, it tends to become dull and derivative.
>Nickelback
>hit songs
Sure, if you consider the early and mid 2000s the corner market of hit songs.
what do you mean? obviously within their era,,, you dont hear them too much anymore. but they had tons of radio hits
Yeah at one point they had a sense of intrigue like any band with a good first impression stage presence that gets over marketed, but that was only during a short time of bygone yesteryear. Wouldn't work anymore in todays internet culture era
Most rock music is the pop formula. Standard pop songwriting is the same as standard rock songwriting, only you add in a guitar solo for some shit. There are a lot of ways you can express yourself and your individuality in that format and not sound like a copy of another band. The most unique Nickelback ever seems to sound is sounding like some hybrid of Pantera and Nirvana, and that's just....barfy.
In seeming to have "the formula," that award goes to Oasis.
I LIKE CANADIAN FOREIGNER
Screw Nickelback. Let's talk about a Canadian band that's actually good.
Listen to Max Webster, pleb.
>LULZ is a pro-nickelback board now
lmao we've gone full circle into contrarianism
You still haven't recommended me a song nagger.
their heavier songs are not that bad, to be honest
