Of course it's an opinion, it's just a really bad one, which I think we can all agree on. I think that's why the post wasn't replied to that much, though it was, in fact, addressed by MLIAS. That was just a playful way of saying "I can't believe you like this band". I know the music is genuinely written and performed, I just think it's horrible and derivative. Pretty sure I'm done arguing this. Though I have to say, there was no reason for you to get involved, because all I was doing was expressing my opinion back at the person. Regardless of whether it was 2 weeks ago or not, this was the first time I saw it. For you to come in and tell me not to defend a band I like is completely ridiculous considering I never addressed you.

If we start moderating opinions, then nobody would be allowed to post anymore.

I'm not saying this to start shit AT ALL....but there's a big difference between attacking the band and not liking them (which people have every right to do) AND attacking the fans because someone doesn't like them (calling them brainwashed sheep because you don't like the music is not only unfair, it's ridiculously elitist). If you want to attack the fans, they will attack you right back and they have every right too, so if you don't like being attacked personally, don't attack others in that manner is what it really comes down to.
Everyone should enjoy the music you enjoy and steer away from that you don't. The negative reactions to music and the strange need to tell others how dumb they are for listening to it is extremely annoying. It's like telling someone they should get a new girlfriend because you don't like the one they currently have. It's not anyone else's business. I dislike Britney Spears with a passion but I don't make fun of the girls I know for liking it because it has nothing to do with me.

I've always thought this song would do well, though I don't see it actually having a chance as a single this late in the game. Maybe I could be wrong.

For a song that's as far from Active rock as it can get, that's a decent start a worst.

Just to clarify, my guess is that Artie is referring to BDS Active rock because he always refers to Billboard rather than Mediabase. I don't have access to the info Artie has if it's a Billboard.biz thing, so only he can confirm if this is the case.

It is most definitely Nielsen / B.D.S. Why would anyone choose a lesser survey?

Why would anyone with a lesser intelligence quotient (that's IQ for you Artie, so you can follow along) consistently make himself look so misinformed on a site that is obviously used by music aficionados. It's puff puff pass Artie....not puff puff....puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puffpuff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff

You might have me confused with someone else on the informed part. With the singles topics and chart data I post, I'd say nobody else is as informed.

I'd love to know the color of the sky in your world.....you don't even know what songs are being sent to what format. You choose to share your "knowledge" with the most uninformed and basically frivolous usage. The fact that you POST the singles and then proceed most of the time to say you know nothing about the bands or don't recall their music makes me laugh on a daily basis. I honestly can't understand you. I don't even want to it at this point. You can buy a thousand medical books, still wouldn't make you a doctor. I'm not saying I know everything about everything but I do at least research a little about something before I make a comment about it.

The "clean edit" is featured on next month's Modern Promo Only. Now what fun is that if you had to play that version?

Losing spins already. Shame really, one of the most interesting Nickelback tracks I've heard in awhile.

Still gaining on all three rock and adult. Maybe on CHR it's dropping already? Still a bit early. Plus this is the least rock-like Nickelback song I've ever heard, so it may not belong on any rock charts.
