Did I lead with a picture of Coldplay so you’d think, “What? It’s not Nickelback???” and then actually read the article to see if that could possibly be right? Yep. Sorry, but I like to think someone’s reading the nonsense I’m posting over here.

Anyway. . .a website used science and math to determine the most hated bands of all time. They created an algorithm based on things like “most hated” lists, message boards, and articles, and the came up with the top (or bottom) 21, and of course Nickelback was #1.

Here’s the entire list:

1.  Nickelback

2.  Limp Bizkit

3.  Creed

4.  U2

5.  Mumford & Sons

6.  Bob Dylan

7.  Phish

8.  Radiohead

9.  KISS

10.  Dave Matthews Band

11.  Coldplay

12.  Green Day

13.  The Doors

14.  Metallica

15.  Korn

16.  Oasis

17.  Pearl Jam

18.  Rush

19.  Nirvana

20.  Spin Doctors

21.  Linkin Park

Personally, I would have put Creed at the top of the list, but I’m not a scientist.
