I'm at least curious to see what it is that Candlebox is blasting today.

I voted for Candlebox.

Everyone loves hating on Nickleback. Who gives a living shit about Candlebox? No one. (Yes, this means that if you do, you're a no one.)

Can I vote for Vampire Weekend? I hear they are in the studio...does that excite anybody?

@3

I would assume it would excite the former music editor of this paper?

Blasting is almost always compelling.

Didn't Candlebox at least have a song that lots of people liked, about ten years ago? Nickleback just has a dude who is incapable of singing, so half-yells throughout every song. Both these bands should enter a "worst band name contest" just so they could win something.

Yarling, Sonya Rodgers, that half-yell singing? It's called Yarling, as in, 'to yarl'. The more you know...

Never heard of Candlebox, but Nickleback is bloody awful.
