10 Guilty Pleasure Albums Nobody Will Admit That They Love

4. Nickelback €“ Silver SIde Up

All right, the world has some explaining to do. How come Nickelback are considered one of the most hated rock bands in the world, yet they've sold more than fifty million albums worldwide? Who are these mysterious figures who actually like the band enough to buy their albums? Why has nobody met a Nickelback fan? It's possible the Illuminati is involved€ Back in 2001, when Silver Side Up was released, things were a bit different. The hate was nowhere near as intense. And, of course, the album did insanely well, reaching number one in multiple countries and selling millions of copies. Liking lead single How You Remind Me didn't make you a music pariah, either. But all of that has changed. When Nickelback are mentioned, either keep your mouth shut or throw out a generic €œughhhh!€. It's the only way to survive in this harsh environment. Save getting your moody radio rock fix to the privacy of your own home.
