If that Hero song were the new Pearl Jam single you'd get a really significant chunk of the fan base declaring it the best thing they'd done since the early 90's.

Sirens is comparable to a lot of shit songs, I wouldn't worry about it.

So is it okay to listen to Nickleback.
It would have been so cool if Pennywise, Nickleback, and Dimebag would have jammed out a No Quarter cover?

But I like Sirens now I feel uncool. I have a urge to by like a Keith Urban album or maybe Nickleback. Maybe I would like that crap. I felt better when I thought it was a nod to 80's power ballads.

Does Letterman strictly limit musical acts to 3:30 still? Or has he relaxed that in his old age?

Maybe they'll do a webcast of a few songs from Letterman like they did in 06.

It's a nod to 80s power ballads, Pink Floyd, and commercial radio rock. Are we genuinely devastated that this band might not give a shit that something sounds like Nickelback?

As long as they don't give a shit I am in. Very good point. I forgot I have been trying to make that point about Sirens all week.

Was this apparent "rivalry" between Pearl Jam and NickelCreed ever actually a real thing? Or is it just some fan-made mythology?

Rivalry? They're just shitty music, harm.
