March Badness, Round Fifteen, The Final: Nickelback vs. Creed. AND THE WINNER IS…

Wow, that was close. This is a battle that could have gone either way. But after a week’s worth of voting that attracted more than a thousand participants from all over the planet, the March Badness crown goes to…

…NICKELBACK!

There was a late surge for number 3 seed Creed, but that wasn’t enough to edge out Nickelback (1). Thanks to everyone who participated. There will be no trophy, parade or victory celebrations.

• * *

Nickelback: They go through the motions of being a rock and roll band, and keep recording the same song over and over. Oh, and the lyrics could have been written by a caveman.

VS.

Creed: Like Pearl Jam and other great bands, minus the credibility. Add to that, plenty of eyeroll-worthy lyrics delivered like they’re profound.
