Nickelback was founded in Hanna, Alberta in 1995,since then, they have been on a rocket to the top of the charts. The name derived from the nickel in change Mike Kroeger's brother frequently had to give customers back in his job at a Starbucks coffee shop in which he would say, "Here's your nickel back."

Their top 10 Songs to date are a mix of their grunge rock style along with a touch of heavy metal, and even slight country influences. The songs deal with a variety of topics including romance, breakups, and domestic abuse. When I first heard Nickelback I wasn't sure I liked them usually I don't care for hard rock, but as the released more and more songs I knew I was hooked, and I had to have their Cd's. With there latest record it's no exception, I love every song on it. They have a variety of songs including a few slower songs. Some of the material they write about might not be suitable to everyone, as they do use some lyrics that people may find offensive. They tell a story with each song, whether good or bad. The song How you remind me was the second song ever to be number one on both the American and the Canadian charts, They have five cd's out including, Curb, The State, Silver Side Up, The Long Road, and their latest album All the right reasons. The Long Road and Silver Side up have both gone platinum more then once and the songs have spent several weeks on the charts.

Here are their Top 10 Songs based on my opinion. Title first followed by album the song is from.
10.Rockstar (All the Right Reasons) tells the story of how they are going to live now that they are stars. It pokes fun at the way they spend their money.

9.Too Bad (Silver side up) tells the story of how a father walked out on his family and how bad his mother always said things were.

8. Never Again (Silver Side up) tells of a little boy who hears his mother getting beat by his father, until one day she gets a gun and shoots him to stop the abuse.

7.Someday (The Long Road) a song about someone leaving a relationship and why they didn't see the signs, and tries to make it work out.

6. Figured You Out (The Long Road) talks about a relationship with a drug addict and how they finally figured them out.

Nicklebacks top 10 songs? maybe 2 songs that have been written and rewritten backwards and forwards, sampled, re-keyed and rehashed. These guys are a parody of themselves and the parody continues with default, theory of a whatever and the rest. They will take your money and be forgotten soon enough...
