It's just that none of those are Commons-material kind of acts, which personally suits me just fine since I hate big stadium-scaled concerts. I've been to some great shows in Halifax, they've just happened to be at places like the (ex-) Paragon or the Seahorse instead of the Commons or the Metro Centre. If they absolutely want those big-scale shows I'd definitely rather see them go with the dad rock rather than whatever passes for pop music lately, but I'm not any more likely to go out and see them.

And please for the love of god, no Nickelback. I dislike Calgary enough without having the association of having grown up in their pseudo-hometown.
