Nickelback: Anthems

Since releasing their breakthrough sophomore album The State in 1999, Nickelback have clawed their way into rock history with an unending stream of anthems that ooze heavy riffs and suck fans into frontman Chad Kroeger's whiskey-soaked growl. Polarizing? Sure, but they've turned mere chart hits into bona fide anthems with hard-hitting attitude and straightforward, unapologetic lyrics.
