They Should Give Me A Nickel For Listening To That Crap

In football, a Nickelback is seldom used.  If only the radio would see things the same way

Actually, Jeremy, Nickelbacks are used fairly often in obvious passing situations, to add a little more depth to the defensive backfield.

But that doesn't make the joke work, so just run with it.  

Running on a 6-man front is usually a good idea.  

So...Nickelback front-man Chad Kroeger is the Nicolas Cage of the pop music world.  He's laughably bad at what he does, yet inexplicably, nobody has taken him aside and told him to stop.

How bad is Nickelback?  They have their own page on Know Your Meme.

How bad is Nickelback?  The city of Detroit actually petitioned to have them removed from the halftime performance of last year's Thanksgiving Day NFL game.  

How bad is Nickelback?  One of those stupid "Can this ___ get more fans than ____" Facebook things was started in 2010, between Nickelback and a pickle, and the pickle actually won.  

So why is it this morning when my alarm clock wakes me up do I have to listen to Nickelback blaring some hoarse, repetitive, monotonic, drivel?  To my knowledge, this particular radio station has never played Nickelback during the morning show, and if this turns into a disturbing trend, I may need to find a new morning show to listen to while I'm laying in bed waiting for my brain to wake up.
