I know this happened a while ago, but I just read about it in the iTunes music library and it rather shocked me. I might cry myself to sleep now.
That's no good. Although QotSA opening for NIN was a bit silly; obviously not on the same scale though.

Well Canada has also produced Skinny Puppy, Rush, and The Birthday Massacre so it evens out.
Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Godspeed...
Although a few good bands can't possibly match America's 100% production quality record.
The Backstreet Boys, New Kids, Avril Lavigne, Good Charlotte, Britney Spears.
Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, 50 Cent, Limp Bizkit.
Kelly Clarkson, Michael Bolton, Billy Ray Cyrus, Garth Brooks.

What makes them "pretty good"?Another question: What constitutes as bad in your opinion if Nickleback are "pretty good"?
Good God! 😱 I didn't know so many people hated Nickleback! As I said, I don't think they're bad. Some of their songs are pleasing to my ear- so sue me. Tell me... what bands do you like? If I say Nickleback is "pretty good", what do I call bad? I don't call anything bad. If someone likes a certain band or styles, more power to them. I may not have the same taste in music, but then again, it's not my business, now is it?

Avril is actually Canadian, so you can't put that freak show on us Yanks.
Yes well, the U.S. produces, quantity wise, the most quality bands while also producing the most shit. I'll freely admit that; although, I'm glad The Libertines were not formed in my country. 😛

No need to get defensive, I don't bite. Just asking a question, as I find their music to be so gut-wrenching mediocre and cringe inducing that I cannot understand why anyone would actually care for them.
As for bands I like: Busted, Poison, and a little Chumbawamba spreaded on top.
