Slipknot employs more people, so I'll vote for them.

How can you put Slipknot and Nickelback in the same sentence? At least Slipknot is more than merely some cynical commercial endeavor. At least they're real metal heads. They don't have to sing about wanting to be a metal head. They exude metalheadism. Even if almost every song they ever made just sucks in ways that don't even make sense, they are still a real band.

Chad Kroeger implicitly acknowledges that he and his band are a phony rock act in their most popular and most played song. Even his hairdo is fake. I mean, it's probably real hair and stuff, but that ain't what the point is. The point is, it's fake. He only has it to make him seem more legit. I bet when he's not singing about whatever we remind him of, he forgets the veneer and wears a suit. A hundred dollar suit. A hundred dollars worth of suit. Suit.

I like how up until this sentence it actually sounds like he's legitimately sticking up for Slipknot. Like he likes them. And then out of nowhere comes the swift kick to the nuts.

The results are as expected... they are both just terrible and for the most part I hate them, but I don't always cringe when I hear a Slipknot song.

I always, always cringe when I hear Nickleback. It makes me sick.

Slipknot by a long mile. Even if they are nothing more than commercialized metal for angsty teens, at least they seem to put more effort into their music. They may try too hard to be heavy and brutal, but at least they care about their output.

I can't really say the same for Nickelback, though. Every record they put out sounds exactly the same as the previous, and it's nothing more than generic radio rock in the first place.

So yeah, Slipknot gets my vote.
