What this poll is actually asking is do you prefer Progressive Metal or Post-Grunge Hard Rock. I guess that's what genres I'd put them in.

I see Tool as more of a counter-grunge band than prog. And taking Nickelback's catalogue as a whole, I see them as more of a gumbo of late 70s/early 80s romantic pop metal, Christian disco and Canadian acid-folk than Post-Grunge. Nickelback's post-grunge attributions come largely as a result of Kroeger's gravelly, phlegm-assisted, I'm-a-walkin'-talkin'-anti-smoking-campaign vocals.
