Through the Headphones 9

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band consisting of Chad Kroeger (Vocals, Guitar), Ryan Peake (Guitar, Vocals), Mike Kroeger (Bass) and Daniel Adair (Drums). The band's name is reputed to originate from the nickel change that band member Mike Kroeger often had to give customers in his previous job at Starbucks, and would frequently say "Here's your nickel back". Their last 3 albums sold millions of copies around the world: Silver Side Up released in 2001, The Long Road released in 2003 and All The Right Reasons released in 2005. I find their lyrics are darn good (love “How you Remind Me” [2001] and “Photograph” [2005]) and their videos are thought-provoking (love “Someday” [2003] and “Savin’ Me” [2005]). Even if you don’t like rock music, I advise you to take a chance and check out their music to see what you’ve been missing.

Yeah... the song "Someday" is very nice one. I liked the lyrics. Hey, don't you think that you should blog about more songs instead of just 2 for each week? Well.. it's just a suggestion

I don't always post 2 songs, sometimes I posted just one! :-)
I tend to post songs that I like (although I may not always like the artists that sung them) or generally blog about artists that I like (although I may not always like all the songs that they have sung). Get it?
