Nickleback -NONO.....click on it..give it a read.

Right now VH1 is playing songs about domestic violence. I saw Luka by Suzanne Vega. Now, Janie's Got A Gun by Aerosmith.

There are plenty of songs by Eminem that is about abuse. One particularly creepy cover version was done by Tori Amos, '97 Bonnie & Clyde.

Also, Only Women Bleed by Alice Cooper. A couple really good cover versions were done by Lita Ford and Ike & Tina Turner. Let that last one sink in if you don't have to Google it.

If you are a country music fan, Goodbye Earl by The Dixie Chicks and Gunpowder & Lead by Miranda Lambert.

There are probably are more songs that I am aware of, but the subject is a little depressing to think about for an extended period of time. So, I'll leave you a video of the first song that popped into my head when I first read the OP.


BTW, I don't think Better Man by Pearl Jam is about domestic violence. It's more about a woman who is in a loveless marriage.

You know, you probably could have gotten more people to come into this topic by simply having "Domestic Violence in Songs" as the title.

Beyond that, I'd say this about sums up my thoughts on Nickleback:

And at last, OT:

There's actually a lot of songs that deal with domestic violence, as I'd imagine many of the videos posted above this post indicate. Rap, Country, Rock...it's actually a subject that has been covered quite a bit in music.
