Nickelback are renowned for reinventing themselves time and time again - they are the Michael Boltons of Post-Grunge. Check out the albums and you'll see what I mean.
I haven't heard every song they've written but I've heard far more than their hits. And I find them very samey.

First off I voted for Tool. However, I don't believe that they are the best band like the poll asks. I don't believe that they are really any better than Nickelback either, I just prefer their music more. Anyway, The two bands are too different from each other to truly compare them. What this poll is actually asking is do you prefer Progressive Metal or Post-Grunge Hard Rock. I guess that's what genres I'd put them in.

I see Tool as more of a counter-grunge band than prog. And taking Nickelback's catalogue as a whole, I see them as more of a gumbo of late 70s/early 80s romantic pop metal, Christian disco and Canadian acid-folk than Post-Grunge. Nickelback's post-grunge attributions come largely as a result of Kroeger's gravelly, phlegm-assisted, I'm-a-walkin'-talkin'-anti-smoking-campaign vocals.

I dont like Nickelback because of the really annoying country influence (which, for some reason, no one wants to admit).

Sorry, I forgot to add that. To rephrase:

A gumbo of late 70s/early 80s romantic pop metal, Christian disco, Canadian acid-folk and West Mexican country rock.

I find your logic disturbing. Because a band tries to sell records they're commercial? Red-era KC tried to sell records by installing a pop vocalist, but that doesn't make them commerical.
