I don't see what point those comparisons make other than "here is a band I think sucks, now here is another band I think sucks"
Except that they both took genres before them and watered them down to make music palatable to the greater masses. Especially Oasis.

Pretty sure plenty of critics said the same things about them. Plenty of people in the know hated the band at the time.

Plenty of people also like at least a couple Nickelback songs. I like "Animals" and "Rockstar", and yet that doesn't make Nickelback a good band.
