Yes, Nickelback. Laugh all you want. They relate to people. They right songs that people can actually connect with. And they may not have technical skill out the ears but sometimes simple riffs can sound really good. So laugh it up, I don't care. And they actually do have pretty good skill, they just don't show it on their albums.
- "Angels the Best Song in the Last 25 Years?
Robbie Williams' track 'Angels' was voted the best song in the last 25 years at the recent Brit Awards in London.
It beat Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart,' Kate Bush's 'Wuthering Heights,' Queen's 'We Are The Champions' and Will Young's 'Leave Right Now;' who were all short-listed."
Yeah...I must be WAYYY off.
(...although whoever decided it's the "best" song must be out to lunch!)

Why wouldn't they show it? "I have talent but don't put it to use". Yeah that works, no.
People connect to shitty stupid music because most people are stupid and shitty. Good work, Nickelback.
Hahahaha, Nickelback.

...an innovative and fresh contribution to the art of music...They can release an album full of fart noises if they'd want...and that could also essentially be different from their old sound or style.
And innovativeness is the essence of Rage's music. They created a brand new style of music, and evolved it their sound over time. You have said, over and over, that relevancy is making a contribution to music AND having modern themes in your music. Well, current politics is never irrelevant, which means that Rage has that piece covered, and it's the fact Rage evolves. If you need proof, listen to Rage Against the Machine (album) then listen to Battle of Los Angeles. Rage evolved. They changed. They contributed to music. So really, what keeps them from doing it again?

True. I agree here that Audioslave did not make anything new.

.Still, in terms of being relevant again, I do think these artists would have a better chance at not reuniting, but exploring more options and challenging themselves musically with other artists...like they've been doing. Didn't quite happen with Audioslave though. There was really no relevant music making there. They WERE Soundgarden meets Rage (which isn't the worst thing in the world)...but only after Soundgarden and Rage were relevant.
I'd agree again. But my point was not originality with my comment on Audioslave, but to point out that Rage still are at the top of their game.

What does liking Nickleback have anything to do with being a stupid or shitty person.
Way to go!
I really don't think you're comfortable with what you like, and that's maybe why you say that.
I'm the first to admit I don't think Nickleback write what I call "good" music, but just like I like a Backstreet Boys song and the colour blue, other people Nickelback and the colour green. People like what they like. At least we have the guts to admit it.
I still don't think you get it.

Oh burn! You got me good, shit!Hahaha, Nickelback, hahahahahaha, such a shitty stupid band, generic music that sounds like a 4th rate Creed, which is sad since Creed sucks too, damn.
Maybe I underestimate them, though. Maybe it takes a huge amount of talent to make such amazingly generic music.
You amaze me. You are truly a pathetic human being...lamo You haven't seen any of their shows. They are pretty good on the guitar. I'm not saying "great" I'm saying good. They're out to make catchy songs, not extremely difficult ones. Which, obviously to you, making extremely difficult songs qualifies as good music.

Well people relate to what they know and are, so many shitty stupid people relate to Nickelback, because they are also shitty and stupid.
But I'm sure there are a few smart fellows who like Nickelback, clearly arctic isn't one of them, though, and he's the only Nickelback fan I've met recently, so we'll see.
Why wouldn't I be comfortable with what I like? What sense does that make? I can't mock shitty bands if I'm comfortable with the music I enjoy? Of course I can, if I think a band is shitty, it will be known, don't like it? Tough shit, don't read my posts.

Yes, me not liking Nickelback clearly implies that I only like difficult music, whatever the heck that means, no.
Their music isn't catchy, it's boring, it's pop-rock at it's worst, it's the shit you hear over and over on the way home from work on some shitty radio station by a hundred different bands that all sound exactly the same.
What the heck does their live show have to do with anything? Does their music magically alter when they play it live?
Regardless, you can make good, complex music that is catchy and memorable, something only good bands do, though.

He talks about anal sex bukkake (don't ask me) with ten year old girls (dog)...he is kinda disgusting.Right though.
Pay no attention to the german, he's just mad that he fell victim to one of these bukkakes when he was sleeping.
But he got a hardon when I did it, in his sleep, that is, so you know...

I would even go as far as to say that their second album offered something more musically innovative and relevant than their first. They remained relevant for both those albums...but after that, although they evolved, I wouldn't say they necessarily offered anything fresh or significant to the world of music. I think they had reached their apex.
As far as them continuing to simply evolve, well, The Strokes are continuously evolving, but...
I don't see evolution as being the same as remaining relevant.

But, like you've said before, relevance is modern themes and originality/freshness/etc. Rage brings that with each album.
