April Mayhem Round 2: Valencia vs. Jack's Mannequin vs. Green Day

[Anton Djamoos]

Which band is your favorite?

[makeshiftmind]

Tough choice, but Jack's Mannequin

[Armor42]

Most people who have listened to the most recent album will probably vote Valencia, as I did

[jimjam32]

this one could be the closest vote of any so far.

i'll go with the "ap.net overhyped band"

can't help but love valencia.

i think JM will prob take this though.

[Yontsey]

go valencia!

[RAMROD85]

wow. this is probably the toughest one for me so far. I think Andrew is one of the most talented musicians out there. Voting green day would be nostalgia based only because I dont listen to their newer stuff.

I'm going to go with Jack's because I'd rather see them live over green day and I don't listen to valencia.

[boysandbulletsx]

I'm glad that people on ap.net really enjoy Valencia. It's a good thing.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Going with the band that has produced several of my all time favorite albums. Green Day.

[ARo2431]

How is Green Day in last? That's pretty pathetic.

[it's marisa duh]

Jack's Mannequin....no competition. Andrew McMahon makes sweet sweet love to that piano of his.

[SilenceBrokenTT]

Extremely tough choice, but Valencia.

[TSLROCKS]

Love all 3 but I'll give my vote to the underdog. Valencia FTW!

[drudo182]

Jack's Mannequin.

[Bobby Tucker]

Most people who have listened to the most recent album will probably vote Valencia, as I did

Meh. It was an ok disc, but I really think the ballads on it are horrendous.

Jack's Mannequin has put out two good albums, Valencia has put out one if you combine their best songs onto one record (Tenth Street, Listen Up, The Space Between, and a few others...).

[it's marisa duh]

How is Green Day in last? That's pretty pathetic.
They shouldn't have grown up to be douchebags.

[xtheaudition]

green day pwns

[kianacarly]

My vote was between Valencia and Jack's. I've liked Valencia for a few years now, but I had to vote for Jack's in the end.

[jbaseball44]

It'll be sad to see Green Day lose to Jacks Mannequin or Valencia.

[DejaNew]

Valencia

[PatVaughn]

this was a tough decision. i only went with Valencia because they are such a hard working band and they're pretty close to number one for me right now. but Green Day is one of my all time favorite bands (how could they not be?). sorry Green Day.

[Chris Fallon]

Three nice choices, but... I am loyal to Green Day, a band that influenced my musical taste in many, many ways. They were one of my big "gateway" bands that led me to checking out other pop-punk and punk rock bands in general.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Valencia. If it was SoCo I would probably have chosen them.

[ericsounds41]

Definitely Jack's Mannequin.

[XEmoBoyShandorX]

Going to have to go with Jack's on this one.

[ashiex3]

Came down to Valencia or JM, but I went with Valencia.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Green Day is losing?

[WhoSaidThat?]

They shouldn't have grown up to be douchebags.
http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr290/fuckandyou/the-negro-community-frowns-upon-you.jpg

[michelle!]

valencia. their new cd was soooo good.

[Ryzenfall]

Jacks.

[themadsilentist]

Someone please explain to me how Jack's Mannequin is beating Green Day?

Anyway, voted Valencia because I "knew" Green Day would win anyway, but apparently not...

[singyoutocoma]

There's no way Green Day should lose this, let alone come in last.

[makeshiftmind]

Old Green Day probably would have won, but I did not care for American Idiot or any of their new stuff

[spansen]

oh, c'mon valencia.

[bouttogetfancy]

green day

[katieissweet]

Jack's.

[get up kidd]

Jack's Mannequin....no competition. Andrew McMahon makes sweet sweet love to that piano of his.

He did just that last night when i saw him

[Chris Fallon]

They shouldn't have grown up to be douchebags.
What?

[AndrewIcex]

Jack's, they are amazing.

[swt_catastrophe]

Yes, Andrew's amazing, and I adore him... But I still went with Valencia.
[In the event their up against SoCo though... no contest]

[CiaraX]

Green Day.
they'll Probably Lose To JM .
But I Reckon GD's Better =]

[boxingwithstars]

haha, i love how Jack's and SoCo are killing it in these polls. although i am shocked to see they're beating Green Day. this makes up for Valencia beating out Ted Leo, though.

[Broden Terry]

Valencia. :nod:

[CiaraX]

There's no way Green Day should lose this, let alone come in last.
Exactly. There Way Better Than The Others =]

[Chromefox]

Glad to see Jack's winning this one.

[Domenic182]

Green Day really should win this

[TSLROCKS]

Green Day is in last place? Really? And I thought Valencia would be the underdog in this poll. Wish I could take my vote away and give it to Green Day now

[combatbaby]

Ah, this is really tough. JM & Valencia are two of my very favorites, but I had to go with JM on this one.

[bobby runs]

make choice later.

[burrito]

fuck me. jax.

[friskycurtain]

Wow, gonna have another upsetting upset

[rickbarrera]

Actually I listen more to JM than GD but i should vote for green day without them maybe I have never heard from something corporate and never listen to JM so I owe this one to them

But I'm voting for SoCo on the next ne

[Imperfektion]

Jack's Mannequin.

[Kbm600]

Valencia.

[dancelukedance]

Tough choice between jacks and valencia. Valencia is superior though. And as for green day...NO THANKS

[GreenJellyBean]

didn't even have to think about this. valencia. jack's is overrated.

[TSTLSOOM]

Which band is your favorite?


i hope its green day and coldplay at the end of the day. ;)

[robat19]

I went with Jack's

[mcdizzle88]

orencia.


i mean... valencia.

[nfmbf]

i didnt expect green day to have second least votes..
but i voted for them anyway

[emkvetwin]

darn, i was hoping Valencia might shock the world. oh well.

(insert bad pun about still "Believing" in Valencia)

[RAMROD85]

Old Green Day probably would have won, but I did not care for American Idiot or any of their new stuff
very much agreed.

I still spin dookie, but it's 2009. so. Andrew is amazing.

[3eb23]

Dookie >

Went with Green Day

[Ismael182]

Wow, I can't believe Green Day isn't winning this at all, very surprised.. i guess the people on here aren't the biggest green day fans.

[notoaststereo]

jacks mannequin

[CarouselBoy]

i went with Valencia. Not surprised GD is low in numbers and I should have figured JM would be pretty far ahead.

[CarouselBoy]

Wow, I can't believe Green Day isn't winning this at all, very surprised.. i guess the people on here aren't the biggest green day fans.

yeah tons of ppl on here hate GD

[Chancetobe]

I'm ready.... to vote for Jack's Mannequin! The live show is so amazing.

[Paulb-182]

How are Green Day losing??

[The Raine]

I wonder if we'll see Jack's vs. SoCo in the next round.

[VIVALAMATT]

anyone > green day. please.

[Metal Now]

JM by far for me.

[irthesteve]

Jack>GD>Valencia

[MILFCORE]

Chose Jack's Mannequin... Hard decision over Green Day, but they just have been releasing anything really good... American Idiot was quite good. The few songs I've heard off the new record sucks... :(
... and Everything In Transit is an amazing album.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Thank God, Jack's Mannequin is winning right now.

[b4_dRun]

Valencia

[golferpunk1]

How is Green Day in last? That's pretty pathetic.

Welcome to Ap.net

[Dagless]

Jack's

[pblest]

Green Day for nostalgia.

[walking_by91]

Ay ay ay, this one was so hard for me. I was so close to voting for Valencia, but in the end I had to go with Jack's.

[SanePsychotic]

Green Day with Jack's in second.

[Poochemist]

Wow, I'm surprised by this one.

[tom_q]

I think it is messed up that Green Day are not winning.

[bloodflowers]

Valencia deserves this!

[stereokiller]

JM and SoCo are winning. Haha.

Voted for Green Day though. I still like 'em, despite their mainstream-ness and predictable songs.

I liked AmIdiot + past releases.

[just.Starla.]

I love JM, but I went with Green Day because I've been listening to a lot of their older stuff lately.

[mmmmmpoetry]

JM, because I don't know either one of the others O_O

[color_coded]

Jack's Mannequin

[kristanxmarie]

jack's mannequin.

[246toothpicks]

Eh even thought I hated their past few albums, Green Day still wins cause their first 4 more than make up for that.

[trappedintime]

Pretty close but I had to go with Green Day.

[Michifoxx]

Greenday.! ... Heyyy their not winning.!

[googirl8907]

Jack's Mannequin without a doubt.

[fiercetown]

Jack's.

[Indoor Living]

This one is the closest I've seen in a while. Go, Jack.

[HopeInLove]

Wow, really guys? Jacks Mannequin? That band is so so so so so so so lame and cheesy.

[HopeInLove]

JM, because I don't know either one of the others O_O

How do you not know greenday? :nono:

[mmmmmpoetry]

How do you not know greenday? :nono:

I was only joking, it's impossible not to know them..

[jtyexists9]

How is Green Day in last? That's pretty pathetic.

I agree. I grew up on their older material. Jack's Mannequin, IDK I thought their first album was ok and the last was crap. It is like Soco winning, whoever sings about teenage emotions and feelings will win here.

[DaveZeroZero]

I don't like the other two, so Valencia gets my vote.

[Chemical Love]

JM? Seriously?

[paramorekicks]

this is really hard for me, valencia vs jack's mannequin.
i think i'm gonna have to go with jack's.

[MADSTA]

Jack's Jack's Jack's Jack's Jack's Jack's Jack's Jack's.

[yoyostring]

i went with Valencia, dudes are awesome and WANARTB is just amazing.

[nickthehick2]

Valencia, but Jack's Mannequin has a close second.

[starseed]

I love Jack's but I am seriously surprised Green Day doesn't get that much love here.

[RonStoppable]

God dammit. Green day losing to Jack's Mannequin just blows.

[owiseone35]

Green Day

[fadedmemories]

Where Did You Go? is too awesome a song to vote against Valencia.

[batmannj]

Valencia barely over Jack's.

[MXkillerPX]

People are voting against Green Day because they didn't like American Idiot. I'm going on body of work. Maybe in ten years Andrew or Valencia will have done as much for the scene, but I doubt it.

Even Valencia are looking at this poll in disgust, I guarantee it.

[Melkor]

For Dookie alone Green Day.

[foisol]

Jack's Mannequin... although Green Day holds nostalgic value.

[COTA]

Tough one but went with Jack's Mannequin

[DaveZeroZero]

Where Did You Go? is too awesome a song to vote against Valencia.
Last year's release was lame all-around.

[RelientAudio]

People are voting against Green Day because they didn't like American Idiot. I'm going on body of work. Maybe in ten years Andrew or Valencia will have done as much for the scene, but I doubt it.

Even Valencia are looking at this poll in disgust, I guarantee it.


What happens if we aren't huge fans of Green Day's body of work?

[Krupt]

JM is hot right now, but Valencia is the shit.

[Galedeep]

Valencia. Meh to Green Day (their new song failed to do anything for me) and while I have the first Jack's album in the pipeline to listen to, I haven't heard enough to vote for them/him.

[fadedmemories]

Last year's release was lame all-around.
I thought you liked WANARTB Dave? I see you still voted for them so I guess you prefer the first album...

[erinfxs]

Jack's Mannequin, for sure.

Poor Nourez.

[Melkor]

What happens if we aren't huge fans of Green Day's body of work?

Then you should just vote for Green Day anyway.

Seriously, how can you like Valencia and not appreciate how great Dookie is?

[teh_erica]

This was hard. I love Valencia so much but I love Jack's so much toooo. I went with Jack's Mannequin.

[tjb4233]

extremely sad GD isn't winning this...body of work people

[ZeroGravity107]

C'mon, Valencia!

[zubinmoosa]

Hmm, recently it's been Valencia.

[hiya]

voted valencia, i never realized jacks was so popular.

[AEast317]

................................... .........green day i guess.

[Sief]

Green Day, always been a fan.

[Miss Heartcore]

Only one choice for me.

[Max_123]

this week is the hardest for me
went with Valencia but love Jack's Mannequin

[HopeInLove]

What happens if we aren't huge fans of Green Day's body of work?

If you think Jacks GayLoveMannequin is in anyway better then Greenday, well....you simply have no musical taste....

[WFUJerseyJon]

Love Valencia, but gotta go Jack's.

[YouMeHimAndHer]

This was a tough one. I think Valencia are very fun to listen to and Green Day are well Green Day haha who doesn't own Dookie? But I had to go for Jack's Mannequin cause I love me some piano.

[ryheeles]

Valencia deserve this win, but they won't get it.

[stereokiller]

If you think Jacks GayLoveMannequin is in anyway better then Greenday, well....you simply have no musical taste....

How mature.

We do agree on voting Green Day though. Lol.

[Yellowcard2006]

I voted Valencia. I don't really find Jack's Mannequin that appealing.

[HelpMeSleep]

went with Valencia over Jack's Mannequin but I really haven't listened to Jack's much at all the since the last album came out.

[fadedmemories]

Don't wanna be an American idiot!





...so I voted for Valencia

[youngmountain]

Tough choice, but went with green day for nostalgia.

[sheslostcontrol]

No competion for me. Green Day.

[cscwell107]

Valencia

[Protested Hero]

I seriously don't understand what makes Valencia stand out from all of the other pop-rock bands, but I guess that's just me. JM was my obvious choice. It just shows how Andrew McMahon is the man, he has two of the top polling bands in this right now haha.

[atticusfinch]

haha not really surprised that JM is winning this over Green Day.

I voted Green Day.

[RonStoppable]

The Green Day hate is so unwarranted.

[Readyfuels]

Valencia!

[blimpcityhero11]

For sure JM...

[Troggy]

I don't like any of these bands, but since Jack's Mannquin is winning, I might as well vote for them.

[tonighttonight0]

Valencia

[iIi]

This surprised me a little. I thought Green Day would be way out in front. Go JM!

[WasteofPaint31]

Valencia, this is the worst poll of round 2

[DaveZeroZero]

I thought you liked WANARTB Dave? I see you still voted for them so I guess you prefer the first album...
It was passable. I never really got into it as it all sounded samey, flat and boring. I merely voted for them because a) I enjoyed the first album and b) I don't like the other two bands.

[MXkillerPX]

What happens if we aren't huge fans of Green Day's body of work?

Then you'd obviously vote for one of the other two and my comment had nothing to do with you at all. Personally, since you feel the need to mock "body of work" as a valid way to vote, then I'd say Dookie beats anything put out by JM or Valencia anyway(even though I love both bands).

[ari telescope]

Yeah-heeaaahhhh that's my boy.

[briewer]

All three suck.

[spunkmastaflex]

They shouldn't have grown up to be douchebags.

Amen

on that note, go valencia

[Rob Hrx]

Voted JM, but I think I like them less than I hate Green Day.

[circatbs]

Valencia.

[drivethruaz]

How is Green Day in last? That's pretty pathetic.


Green day isnt the band they use to be. That's how

[TalkShowsOnMute]

I accidentally voted Valencia, but I meant Jack's :/ Looks like it doesn't matter anyway

[chipdip18]

Jack's beating Green Day? This week's polls are all totally changing my view of the people on this site. I'm really surprised.

[MickShamrock]

Green Day.

[denissuxx]

So tough, sorry Valencia, but I had to pick Andrew McMahon

[ppt4895]

Jack's Mannequin

[SavingNovember]

AH Jack's vs Valencia? Hard to choose but Valencia, for sure. Valencia's new CD > Jack's new CD

[justletgo]

it's sad that I voted for Valencia on this poll, and had to voted against STD in another.

[taylerx0]

For me, it's Valencia. Hands down.

[ztwizzlere11011]

whoa i thought valencia would be winning. they are awsome i vote them! : )

[Mibabalou]

vaLENCIAAA

[dani1292]

Don't like Green Day, so that choice was out completely. I adore Valencia, but I'm gonna have to go with Jack's.

[littlebeav]

Super tough one, and I've finally started listening to Valencia since this competition started. They're really effing good. But, my heart belongs to the songs Andrew writes. He's one of the biggest voices in the scene, writes real shit, and really good shit too.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

I love JM and Valencia, but Green Day takes it for all their pre-AI material.

[Machu505]

Green Day.

[Outtathaway!]

You have to be fucking KIDDING ME!!!

[Formatfun]

Green Day, because they've a great collection of songs I've listened to forever.

[TheClockSounds]

Jack's is amazing but I have to go with green day

[more heart]

Valencia.

[Chromefox]

I definitely think that Jack's and SoCo should be pitted in the next poll, just to get rid of one of them. I love them both, but this feels almost like an unfair advantage.

[starjamgirl]

very tough choice, i love Valencia, but JM is Andrew and i adore anything he does so i shell go that way.

[Undue Noise]

Psh, Green Day.

[klawansie7]

Green Day, because they've a great collection of songs I've listened to forever.
that's how i feel too =D
i am very upset, however, that they are not winning...

[Theseventhson]

Love Valencia, but had to go with Jack's Mannequin.

[new_arbiter]

Green Day's had a few great albums, so them.

[trevorshmevor]

i don't really like any of these bands actually, but i saw jack's at a festival here in arizona a few years ago, and they sounded damn near perfect live. i'll give them that, and my vote.

[onthefringe]

i have been listening to valencia more recently, but i voted for jacks mannequin overall.

[MCSmate]

jack's mannequin (valencia is good too)

[Talib Scottie]

Green Day, based on their body of work. I was kind of partial to Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit but haven't gotten into Glass Passenger.

[tm24x]

this is so hard. valencia and jack's mannequin are my two favorite bands, and green day brings back so many memories.

I have to go with jack's mannequin. andrew mcmahon is so great.

[handlikesecret]

love Valencia and Green Day, but Jack's gets my vote.

[SeanEBoy2686]

Jack's... although this vote was tough, all three are solid

[fly_guy]

This is hard. Green Day has way more abums and is more significant in todays music, but I like the other 2 more.....

[TotalCollapse]

This one is a little tougher. I voted for Green Day.

[drewk16]

i took jack but im surprised more ppl didnt take green day

[PenThrive]

Jack's Mannequin.

[Until The Bombs]

Green Day. Dookie's good enough to ignore all the shitty songs/albums they've released since then.

[musicloverliver]

Green Day. I'm very surprised they're losing:/.

Michelle<3

[SingleDoubt]

jacks mannequin

[PopPunkKid]

There's really no way in hell JM should be beating Green Day... Green Day are one of the most important bands of the past 20 years. Jack's Mannequin have only released 2 albums... and that's coming from a JM fan too.

Valencia aren't my cup of tea, I've always found them too bland and generic... which is something I get scolded for by my friends alot, since they are from around my hometown and used to play at a venue that I used to go to all the time... But I think them being that close to Green Day is very messed up.

[brandy_cyanide]

Green Day O_O

[ThisIsNotDan]

Dookie/Insomniac/Nimrod >> Everything In Transit>>>>>>>> We All Need A Reason to Believe = The Glass Passenger >>>> the rest

[xheartdenterx]

Green Day. I've been listening to them since I was nine. I mean, I'm really starting to love Jack's Mannequin, but I had to go with Green Day.
Also, I listened to Valencia once. I wasn't very impressed. But that's okay.

[celeney]

It was tough between JM and Valencia, but I went with Valencia.

[KyleMcr]

Green Day by a bit

[c_rob2700]

Jack's. I'm so pumped to see that GD is beating Valencia though.

[Merkin]

valenciaaaaaaa

[wahwah16]

This was close between Valencia and Jack's Mannequin...but I went with Valencia

[hailthewarrior]

Jack's Mannequin

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

Never been so happy to see a win in this competition. I do like Jack's Mannequin, But my like for them doesn't nearly match my dislike for Green Day. And Valencia...well they just never really caught on for me.

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

There's really no way in hell JM should be beating Green Day... Green Day are one of the most important bands of the past 20 years. Jack's Mannequin have only released 2 albums... and that's coming from a JM fan too.

Important in what aspect??? What not to do in music?

[altemose09]

gotta rep my boys in v-unit!

[ATL182fan]

Green Day

[drewziph]

fuck me. jax.
hahahaha fuck you green day

Jacks ftw

[fadedmemories]

Come on Valencia, you could should beat Greenday!

[TheHoldSteady]

I would have to say Valencia.

[VampiresRevenge]

Jack's Mannequin, but Green Day's a close second for me.

[Matthew Tsai]

Valencia - people actually like this band? jAcks mannequin - lame. Green Day - has the history to back them up.

GD

[PopPunkKid]

Important in what aspect??? What not to do in music?


Or ya know, by influencing an entire genre, and by making one of the most important rock albums of the 90's AND of the 2000's.

[benlong]

Andrew McMahon is good, but i prefer soco to jacks mannequin...green day gets my vote for all they've done, if it was strictly last album my vote may be different

[phil19]

im not a big green day fan but they get my vote easily in this one

[tinfoil-hearts]

I was so torn between Jack's Mannequin and Valencia, I had to do eenie-meenie-miney-mo.

I still have no idea who I picked. I just clicked the radio button and submitted.

[Chris Fallon]

Important in what aspect??? What not to do in music?
Wow. If you don't like Green Day, fine -- seems to be the trendy way to go these days. But for fuck's sake, to question their affect on music is just silly. Punk rock was not a mainstream genre before Dookie came out -- they made pop-punk and punk rock an acceptable genre, influencing bands that continue to play and form this very year. I'm so sick of hearing people without any clue about anything hate on Green Day because they don't like how popular they are or didn't think American Idiot was very good. I'm pretty sure Andrew McMahon could tell you Green Day was partly an influence on his getting SoCo started (along with Jack's), so if I were you... I'd hush, lad.

[Paulb-182]

Important in what aspect??? What not to do in music?

If Insomniac is what not to do in music.. then Green Day shouldnt want to do, "what to do" in music

[UnderMyDreams]

this one could be the closest vote of any so far.

i'll go with the "ap.net overhyped band"

can't help but love valencia.

i think JM will prob take this though.

Valencia will never be overhyped.

[jbaseball44]

Important in what aspect??? What not to do in music?
Laughable, idiotic, uneducated comments are fun.

[RonStoppable]

Important in what aspect??? What not to do in music?
So in music, you're not supposed to record several solid albums (Timeless, in the opinion of many, including myself), open a genre to the mainstream, and become the biggest band in the world?

[jimjam32]

Valencia will never be overhyped.
agreed -- but a lot of people on this site hate them just because a lot of people like them. it's cool to be different man duh.

[PopPunkKid]

Wow. If you don't like Green Day, fine -- seems to be the trendy way to go these days. But for fuck's sake, to question their affect on music is just silly.

:appl:

[Jx.]

Jack's Mannequin ftw.

[andrewa5]

I just recentlyu got into jacks mannequin, my vote is for them!

[kaylaalovee]

I've known Green Day the longest so I went with them.
Never listened to Valencia before, should I check them out?

[Chris Fallon]

I've known Green Day the longest so I went with them.
Never listened to Valencia before, should I check them out?
If you like well-orchestrated and nicely written pop music, then yes.

[Schmidty Says]

Green Day hasn't put out anything good since Nimrod...I love We All Need A Reason To Believe, but Jack's Mannequin is just amazing.

[Max_123]

i'm so pissed to see Valencia go, and in 3rd place too
sucks

[jbaseball44]

At least Green Day didn't come in last.

[mikee027]

You guys are all idiots. Get off your god damn high horses. Green Day should have won this and all of you know it.
