Their latest album, 2017's "Feed The Machine," offers more crunchy guitars and gritty vocals from lead singer Chad Kroeger. "Must Be Nice" is a standout track for me that seemed destined to put the band back in the top 40, which they haven't seen since 2010 when "This Afternoon" stalled at #34.

"Must Be Nice" by Nickelback
Love them or hate them, Canadian hard rock outfit Nickelback ranks as the 27th most successful chart artist of the naughts, and #176 of all-time. After steadily building a rabid following, they had a major crossover hit in 2001 when "How You Remind Me" soared to #1 for four weeks. Ever since, Nickelback has been trying to remind the world that rock is not dead yet. However, the band is frequently derided for being musically derivative and tossing out cringeworthy sexist lyrics.

"Good Times" by Tommy Lee
Most know Tommy Lee as the theatrical drummer for glam band Motley Crue, but during their downtime he's put out a couple solo records. In 2005, he released his sophomore album, "Tommyland: The Ride," which accompanied his book of the same title and his reality TV show, Tommy Lee Goes To College.
"Good Times" was the lead off track to this album, and also the theme song for his TV show. The tune gave Lee his one and only chart appearance, making at showing at #95 that year. It is a fun song to play with the top down, thanks to a killer chorus that was taken up a notch by Butch Walker (SouthGang, Marvelous 3).
Other guests on this solid effort range from Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) to Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) to Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers).
