I'll start off by giving my nod to Nickelback, who I feel have excelled in the past (if not recent times) in pushing the envelope and watching it bend. Like modern rock overlords, they've created the equivalent of the great symphonies of old - How You Remind Me is in all senses the 21st century's answer to Ludwig van Beethoven's 9th. Drawing from a wide range of influences including (but not by any means limited to) early 70s The Who, AC/DC, The Buzz****s, Sonic Youth, The Stooges and Television, they've taken a hodgepodge of ideas and merged them perfectly into a single distinct cohesive sound that has rocked bedrooms across the world.--
