Neither are good, but at least Slipknot can channel some real world teenage angst and aren't snotty rock stars whose lyricism bemoans how **** it is to have all that money. Slipknot are niche for angsty kids; Nickel back are niche for tone deaf people/persons with an IQ of 65-80.

While I don't like them either, I take exception to saying that someone that likes them is stupid. There is at least one member here that likes their music whom I consider a friend (despite liking Nickelback) who is a thoroughly worthwhile human in every way. Musical taste =/= human dignity

I picked Slipknot as being less terrible.

Some aspects of Slipknot's music I actually don't mind. I don't mind Corey Taylor, I remember seeing Stone Sour live at a bar as a teenager years ago and met him, he was a really nice guy. He puts on a great performance and I kinda like his rough and raspy vocals. I do prefer though when he sings (as opposed to screaming, Slipknot-esque.)

I also always had a soft spot for Joey Jordison and his double kick style.

Having said all of that though, I'm not going to hail them as a fantastic group of musicians or anything, I just think they're the least terrible of the two

This thread should be called "how to get MB members to come clean about their love for Slipknot."
