Eww, Nickelback. They're ok but I can only tolerate them in very small doses. Plus, all their songs sound the same. (I do like Saving Me though)

Cascada. :)

I have the exact same opinion as you.

Cascada again!

Wed Jun 21, 2006 8:04 pm

Another hard one but I am still going to go with Cascada.

Wed Jun 21, 2006 8:25 pm

Neither.

No, they really don't. I have a few (maybe around six or seven) Nickelback songs, and they all sound completely different. Not even close to similar. But even if they do sound the same, they at least have actual talent. It somewhat disgusts me that at the moment they are losing to some teenybopper crap that only has one hit song, and probably only will ever have one hit song.

Wed Jun 21, 2006 10:50 pm

I don't like either.I like only rap and hip-hop.Mabey 10 other songs or a few more.

I think you should have Chamillionaire or Bow Wow in it. 8)

I voted for Nickelback, but I don't really like either all that much.

I personally think this needs to get back to the old stuff, like Journey, Boston, etc. All this new music is killing me.

*brings out the defibrillator and gives TOSO multiple shocks in large doses*

We can save him! Oh wait... no... we can't. :(

I'd have to say Nickelback. I really only like 2 of their songs (Savin' Me and Someday) Only people that have hardly listened to rock in their entire life are the ones that I think actually think all of the songs sound the same (either that or they're half deaf).

See, if they were all the same, then they would all be on the same level of "annoying". But, obviously, Photograph is many notches ahead of the others, in that regard, therefore there has to be some difference.

Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:29 pm

I really don't like either as I sort-of explained.

Cascada may only have one hit here in the US, but they're real popular in both Germany and England.

Thu Jun 22, 2006 3:52 pm

Nickelback, because they're Albertan and I don't hate them.

I live in England and I've never heard of them. And my musical knowledge is reasonably in depth.

I might be thinking another country, then.

I agree with Toso 100%. Bring on the classic rock!

Back on topic, I went with Nickelback because of the simple fact that I have heard one of their songs and nothing by Cascada.
