20. I’d Come for You (Dark Horse, 2008)

“This song is my favorite by Nickelback. It weights so much emotion and regret for a person who sings it. You understand the story behind the words, how he feels about losing that person and how he would come for her whenever she needs, even if he is the one who is destroying their relationship. I find this song to be extremely powerful and touching.”

19. Leader of Men (The State, 1998)

“Leader of Men is a throwback to grunge days and features an awesome ramp up in the middle of the song. This is one of Nickelback’s first and possibly best songs, but very few people have heard it b/c it was released in 1999.”

18. Too Bad (Silver Side Up, 2001)

“The only song they have that doesn’t represent the band they are and does represent the band they could have been. A great mix of punch and musical quality along with great vocals. The hook is alright I guess but it’s the first and main rhythm section that is genius.”

17. Never Gonna Be Alone (Dark Horse, 2008)

“Such a sad yet meaningful song. When you’ve lost someone, listen to this song and it’s so helpful. Makes me cry every time – love it! Many people feels so identified with this song.”

16. Hero (Music from and Inspired by Spider-Man, 2002)

“This By Far My Favorite Nickelback song, very Emotional, first time I heard it my eyes gushed with tears because my grandfathers death anniversary was coming up, and it makes you think about the family members that are now gone.”

15. Side of a Bullet (All the Right Reasons, 2005)

“Looking at this list, I swear it’s composed by the people who are oblivious to just how awesome Nickelback’s heavy songs are. This is a song with a catchy chorus; emotional, pain-filled lyrics; great bass line and guitar riff; a guitar solo sampled from a Pantera song; and drumming that Vinnie Paul himself said was good enough for him not being on the track does not bring it down in any way. Also it’s about the tragic death of Dimebag Darrell.”

14. Lullaby (Here and Now, 2011)

“One of the best songs by Nickelback is 1000% in the wrong spot on this list. Take a good long listen to it! Has so much meaning behind it for me! Told my kids that if something was ever to happen to me that it is to be played at my funeral and for them to think of me EVERY SINGLE time they listen to it! “

13. When We Stand Together (Here and Now, 2011)

“Nickelback’s best song ever. It has a message. We could really be feeding a starving world with what we throw away but we just serve empty words that always taste the same you know it’s very true. But I always feel like starving myself when I hear this song. I even bought the album just to listen to this song.”

12. Animals (All the Right Reasons, 2005)

“Nickelback shows in this Song that they are more than just another mainstream Band without really cool Songs. This Song has no intelligent lyrics but it’s still awesome. Good Rock can be so easy. The lyrics are just cool and the guitar is awesome”

11. This Afternoon (Dark Horse, 2008)

“The happiest song from Nickelback and probably one of the best, when I hear this song I feel happier than ever! It also makes you wanna go out and hangout with all of your friends for EVER!”

10. If Everyone Cared (All the Right Reasons, 2005)

“A beautiful song that is appealing and has a wise message. The video clip is inspirational. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, which was the day I bought the album. I just lay on my bed with my eyes closed thinking “I’m going to HAVE to learn the words”.

9. Someday (MTV Unplugged, 2003)

“I love this song! I agree it should be number 1. It is not only a good song it moves people too. The video is cool… I understood it however it takes a lot of time to understand it. You should pay attention to the fact that when the girl looks back from the car the man is not there, and the girl never looks at the boy.”

8. Photograph (All the Right Reasons, 2005)

“This song I can relate to! When I hear this song, it makes me remember the times of when I was in fourth grade. I absolutely love this song. It is one of my favorites by Nickelback. Everybody said Nickelback song sound the same, but to me, they all sound different and they all sound amazing!”

7. Gotta Be Somebody (Dark Horse, 2008)

“This is a very nice song and the music is awesome. It should be at 4-5 position. This song has a different energy in it and the listener get enchanted. Its not a total rock song and has the element of love with chaukas beats.”

6. If Today Was Your Last Day (Dark Horse, 2008)

“I mean seriously it’s just plain awesome, but not only that it has a deeper meaning behind it. The lyrics are saying that if today is your last day what would you do? But if you noticed it’s not stuff like riding in a hot air balloon or meeting someone different. It suggests things that if we did we’d feel that little more happier. See old friends you never see, reminisce old memories. Would you forgive your enemies? They’re not material items but they’re personal things to make you feel happy.”

5. Savin’ Me (All the Right Reasons, 2005)

“I Like almost all nickelback songs but I can’t believe that I’d come for you and never gonna be alone did not make the list! I think I’d come for you is the best but I absolutely love savin’ me. It’s so awesome”

4. Burn It to the Ground (Dark Horse, 2008)

“Awesome guitar work.. And the beat catch all guitar movements… Its more a concert type song with full of spirit and power… Every should listen at least once then you will be listening multiple times…”

3. Far Away (All the Right Reasons, 2005)

“This is a great song! I think I’m going to use it for my Spanish project. It is by far one of the best Nickelback songs ever. I could listen to it over and over again because the words even make the song that much better. It is a very moving song and I wish that they would make a whole lot more songs that are like this one. Their other songs are great as well but this one really sticks out to me for some reason.”

2. Rockstar (All the Right Reasons, 2005)

“I love nickelback, the best band of all time. It is very difficult to decide which of their song is the best. I like every word of this song. My favourite part is the “MUSIC” that comes after he says “hey hey, I wanna be a rockstar…”

1. How You Remind Me (Silver Side Up, 2001)

“This song is really something special, I love all Nickelback songs, but this one, it always have been my favorite song from the moment I heard it for the first time, Nickelback will always be mine favorite band because all of their songs are good, you can’t find one bad song from this band!”
