Strangers collaborate in Band Roulette event at Boca Fiesta: Chick-fil-atio

Years ago, when I was a tone-deaf musician, what I hated more than anything was the question: Who do you sound like? Panicked, I would flip back and forth between bands in my head, and list who I borrowed from: guitars this, lyrics that, keyboards this. When people expressed further confusion, I said defensive and overblown things like, “Sound is a concept, man.”

More listen, less livid: Why Nickelback is pretty decent

I could very easily play devil’s advocate when it comes to Nickelback and all of the unequivocal hatred surrounding its members. However, after constantly hearing a particularly poignant list of “reasons” for the band’s supposed amount of suck, I find myself more leveled with defending what is, without a doubt, one of the decade’s most successful acts.
