How You Remind Me

Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” (2001) is a post-grunge powerhouse that became one of the decade’s biggest rock songs. Chad Kroeger’s gravelly voice belts out remorseful lyrics over chugging guitars and a hooky melody, striking a perfect balance between hard rock and radio-friendly appeal. The song hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 and was the top song of 2002, firmly establishing Nickelback on the world stage and becoming a go-to anthem for angst-ridden memories.
