The nominations for the Juno Awards were announced this week, and they finally prove Nickelback has something on all Canadians--the cock-rockers have garnered five nominations (including best album and single) for their latest album, Dark Horse.

But that's not the craziest news--Guns N' Roses got nominated (along with Jack Johnson, Metallica, AC/DC, and Coldplay) for Best International Album. Apparently the people in Canada (at least those who nominate for the Juno's) hate decent music. 

As for the Best Alternative Album, that one's a race between Fucked Up, Chad VanGaalen, Black Mountain, Plants and Animals, and The Still.
