Nickelback
The group released their debut album Curb in 1996 and while well received, it wasn’t until the unveiling of their second album, The State, that Nickelback’s career really began to take off. Selling more than 100,000 copies in Canada and 500,000 in the U.S., The State earned Nickelback their first JUNO Award for Best New Group and set the stage for its Silver Side Up successor in 2001.
The dark rock album, Silver Side Up was a critical success yielding the band’s career-defining hit “How You Remind Me.” The inescapable and irresistible smash was named Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Song of the Decade’ and became the number-one most-played song on U.S. radio in the 2000s according to Nielsen Soundscan, with over 1.2 million spins.
Nickelback continued its success with the release of The Long Road in 2003, which was certified 3x platinum. The album, which spawned lead single “Someday” as well as hit songs “Figured You Out” and “Feelin’ Way Too Damn Good,” quickly soared to the top of the sales charts and was later featured on Billboard’s 200 Albums of the Decade.
In 2005, former 3 Doors Down member Daniel Adair joined the group. With Adair on drums, the band released their fifth studio album All The Right Reasons. The album produced the hugely successful singles “Savin’ Me“

If you wanted to pinpoint the time Nickelback became the enemy of music critics, it would have to be in 2005.

Nickelback was now in the business of making hits.
The album had 11 songs, but it spawned a bonkers seven singles, each one bigger than the last. Seven singles. It lead with “Photograph.” It had the indistinguishable duo “Far Away” and “Savin’ Me.” It gave us the saccharine “If Everyone Cared.” Of course you recognize all of those titles. The singles from this album kept radio well-fed for a year and a half.
If this wasn’t enough for you, Reasons gave us the band’s simultaneously most critically panned and most commercially successful song ever, “Rockstar.” The song became emblematic of the battle over Nickelback’s standing. Either this song is ironic and good, or it’s tired and boring. Regardless of where you stand, this band raked in money. Reasons went on to sell a stunning eight million copies in the U.S. And the rest is kind of a blur.
When petitions to stop the band from playing pop up — and they do all the time — this is the Nickelback they rail against: A derivative of a derivati
