Anyone else getting pissed off by these guys? It seems like they get way too much air time in America for being a nominal band at best. They aren't even rilly rock. Then again there are few left who are. It saddens me to the core to see that rock and roll has culminated in this crap. :(

Your first problem is thinking of them as rock. They are pop, studio written, producer arranged pop.

Your second problem is listening to the radio for your rock and roll.

why would you get pissed off by the fact that other people like different music than you? do you get pissed off when people select flavors of ice cream that you don't like?

you must have wicked high blood pressure.

(oh, and for the record, i don't particularly like either 3DD or Nickel. i also don't care if anybody else does.)

I don't anymore. It just irritates me that when I don't have acces to Cd's and have to use the radio or when someone else is using the radio, that this is the crap that's on. I don't really consider them rock, either but sadly, many do.

I get pissed off, 'cause the quality of music from a strictly musical stand point that these guys put forth is horrible. There's hardly any originality, a lot of it is studio production magic, and what they write about is often controlled by the record companies that they basically work for.
