Nickelback
25-12-2008 00:36
Few bands did more than Nickelback to establish the force of slick, commercially minded post-grunge in the 2000s. Led by vocalist Chad Kroeger, the band initially emerged in the late '90s as Canada's answer to Creed, prizing a blend of gruff vocals and distorted (yet radio-friendly) guitars. After a handful of singles failed to gain much traction in Canada, "How You Remind Me" caught hold in 2001,... »

Rick Astley
23-12-2008 00:06
Rick Astley (b. February 06, 1966 in Warrington, United Kingdom) was one of the most unlikely figures to rise up in the dance/pop-driven late 80's. His clean-cut Anglicized Archie Andrews appearance was a stark contrast to his barrel-chested soul-man voice.
