Best Cock-Rock Band!

[Bloodsucker II]

I went with Chevelle because they bring back teh memories. :-d

[VIVALAMATT]

Why is Chevelle a cock-rock band. They're actually really good.

[dpetty21]

I've never heard of cock rock but the only band I've ever owned a CD of out of these was Creed so they get my vote. I know, I know.

[briewer]

The name of the genre is 'cock-rock.' None of them win.

[Bloodsucker II]

Why is Chevelle a cock-rock band. They're actually really good.

Because people consider them that. I don't they are that bad but I still they would be included in this grouping.

[11:11]

Breaking Benjamin's Saturate is actually a decent album.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

The only band on that list that has at least tolerable songs is Chevelle.

[PenThrive]

I can't feel my chest! Need more!

[Bobcat46308]

Staind is legit

[liveloud4life]

Nickelback sucks so much ass. Chevelle is pretty good though.

[phil19]

tough choice between chevelle and breaking benjamin. breaking benjamin get the nod for this i think.

[phoenixinflames]

Why is Chevelle a cock-rock band. They're actually really good.

Yeah man I never owned any of their albums, but I usually liked what I heard on the radio. I went with them too.

[HelpMeSleep]

I used to love Trapt back in the day.

[Bloodsucker II]

Other : Brokencyde

I would rather listen to them than any of of these nauseating bands

Seriously?

That sir, is a bold statement. I don't know if I'd go quite that far but it would def. cross my mind a time or two.

[lonelysuperstar]

Chevelle win. But they're not cock rock.

[Scott Farcas]

Staind

[VIVALAMATT]

Because people consider them that. I don't they are that bad but I still they would be included in this grouping.

"People consider them that." What the hell does that mean? I asked how they're a cock-rock band because I'm trying to figure out what the qualifications are.

I don't think Chevelle should be grouped with the likes of Staind, Creed and Alter Bridge. Anyone who thinks that is ridiculous.

[DejaNew]

None of these bands are even remotely comparable to Chevelle.

[Bloodsucker II]

Lol, it's okay, have a good day.

I'm not saying they necessarily ARE a "cock-rock" band. If you want to know why they are considered that ask LongDistanceDrunk.

I personallt think Chevelle is the best out of all those bands

[MADSTA]

There was one Breaking Benjamin song that I liked.

[AussieBoy]

staind... some great songs, that break the cycle album i played the shit out of. love epiphany, outside and FOR YOU!!

[AussieBoy]

what other songs did Chevelle do.. the only one i ever remember slighlty hearing was the Red.. this type of music aint too big down here, only staind, nickel and creed made a blip on our radar

[crimsonandclovr]

whaaaat Trapt!!

[kdefrisc]

oh staind.... its been a while...

ehh? ehh? see what i did there?!?

/retardedattemptatjoke

lol

[lonelysuperstar]

There's no official definition of cock rock because it's a made up term, but urban dictionary.com defines it as the following:

"Derogatory term for a style of hard rock that was prevalent in the 70s, practiced in its purest form by the band Foreigner. Few bands played cock rock exclusively, but some artists with cock rock tendencies include Bad Company, Peter Frampton, Grand Funk Railroad, the Rolling Stones, Ted Nugent, John Fogerty, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Bob Seger.

Musically, cock rock overlaps with blues rock, southern rock, hard rock, and arena rock, but what ties it all together as cock rock is an egocentric, tough-guy swagger and lots of ridiculous macho posturing. The lyrics often equate hard-rocking with virility and dangerousness".

I fail to see how Chevelle is even remotely close to this. The only modern bands I can think of that are sort of "cock rock" are probably Hinder and/or Buckcherry.

[Bloodsucker II]

LOL. The only songs I remember by them were Send The Pain Below and The Red and they are both certified cock rock trash. I remember back in school most of the wrestling team liked them because they were good workout music and they had really deep lyrics.

Hahahaha, that does make me lol. I'm not going to lie. There was a time when Chevelle was my favorite band, then again I was 13. So they have a special place in my heart. I don't think they are bad at all for radio rock though.

I mean, I personally don't see how someone would rather listen to this...

[/thread] They all suck.

[Indoor Living]

Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle are tolerable. The rest are fucking shit, so I guess I gotta go with Breaking Benjamin, cause I'm going alphabetically.

[George-Michael]

I used to be all about Staind when I was 13. Mudshovel was my jam. And that acoustic song that was popular. Then when they released the cd that got them really big is around the time I started to listen to music that isn't terrible.

[n1asfan]

Nickelback hurts my ears. I went w/Chevelle.

[Cheesus]

lol, I am ashamed to say that I have enjoyed every band on this list, other than Nickelback, at one point in my life.

This burden will never leave me

[RonStoppable]

I voted Breaking Benjamin because I remember one song I liked, and I can't say the same for the rest of these bands.

Although I did see Alter Bridge play at the 2005 MLB All-Star Game in Detroit with Johnny Damon and Mike Piazza, and didn't hate it.

[Colin1755]

absolutely trapt!

[Colin1755]

brokencyde is so bad they suck balls

[briewer]

Or how about we don't treat music like it's a masochistic endeavor or a 'lesser evil' sort of thing and just listen to good music?

[Bloodsucker II]

Or how about we don't treat music like it's a masochistic endeavor or a 'lesser evil' sort of thing and just listen to good music?

sounds like a plan

[Piss]

i used to like that diary of jane song very much, so i have to go with breaking benjamin

[DCfreak]

Chevelles good. Meh

[Cheesus]

i used to like that diary of jane song very much, so i have to go with breaking benjamin
That album was awesome haha

[Piss]

That album was awesome haha

phobia? definitely not

[xJesusFreakx]

Out of these options: Creed.
Overall: 3 Doors Down (I'm not very familiar with the term "cock rock," but I assume they fit, and they actually have some pretty sweet songs.)

Cock rock/ nu metal bothers me more than any music imaginable. I simply despise it and literally can't stand it. Its infinitely worse than even the shittiest "music" our scene creates.

Linkin Park, POD, Creed, 3 Doors Down, etc. >>>>>>> brokeNCYDE, Millionaires, Jeffree Star, etc. No matter what anyone has against nu metal or "cock rock," which is sometimes very deserved, I have no idea how it could rationally be ranked below that kind of scene music. At least those bands can sing and play instruments, rather than just shout over beats someone in middle school could program.

[Cheesus]

phobia? definitely not
No, your right. I thought it was "We are not alone". That was the one I enjoyed.

Even though you probably hated that too, haha

[Piss]

No, your right. I thought it was "We are not alone". That was the one I enjoyed.

meh, it was alright

[showyourteeth]

hahaha
cock-rock

i voted chevelle
i really liked them at one point

[futilespider]

haha. creed's my own prison is all i listened to in 6th grade. so they get it for me. although i can't remember the last time i listened to any of the bands on this list. haha.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

I embarrassingly liked some of these bands during my middle school days, but Chevelle was always pretty respectable.

[notoaststereo]

i used to listen to a fair amount of staind.

[Cheesus]

i used to listen to a fair amount of staind.


I heard that! Its been a while.

[sasalukac]

chevelle and breaking benjamin are actually decent, trapt has a few catchy songs, and the rest i'm not a fan of...

[fran.182]

Nickelback and Breaking Benjamin.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Chevelle

[MyNameIsRoss]

The Clincher! haha

[makeshiftmind]

Chevelle... I still like the song Vitamin R:shrug:

[phil19]

this

[domotime2]

wow this was tough. probably the hardest poll ive had to face in this forum...damn.

i thought long and hard...hmm, and i went with Staind (cringe). Ill give it to the sad bald guy. And yes chevelle is a "cock-rock" band (whatever that means)...either way they belong in this poll.

[Cheesus]

The Clincher! haha
haha yes!

could we have known
Never would I, helped to nail down
With nothing to gain
Here's the clincher, this should be you

[Bloodsucker II]

now saturate!!!!!!!

[PopPunkKid]

Probably been said a million times (I didn't read the thread), but where's the "none" option?

[Yellowcard2006]

Cock rock/ nu metal bothers me more than any music imaginable. I simply despise it and literally can't stand it. Its infinitely worse than even the shittiest "music" our scene creates.

Where does someone learn to have so much hate?

[batmannj]

I enjoy Chevelle every once and again so I went with them.

[batmannj]

now saturate!!!!!!!

THE EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!

x

[Bloodsucker II]

THE EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!!

x

hahahha nice

[Yellowcard2006]

From having awful fucking cock rock permeate almost every form of media entertainment which in turn will make me hear this garbage in some way shape or form until I die. They way people had Brokencyde and their like is the way I hate cock rock

ha, alright I guess it really has become America's music.

[batmannj]

hahahha nice
lol I still rock that record every once and again. The Clincher is a pretty good song, and Family System off of Wonder What's Next is good too haha.

[Bloodsucker II]

When I was younger and I was first really getting into music I listened to Family System and thought it was the coolest thing I ever heard!

[Cheesus]

ha, alright I guess it really has become America's music.
I'm pretty sure Americas favorite music is rap+r&b. I would much rather listen to cock rock than E40 or 50Cent... even though it is garbage

[Dorian Grey]

D: Chevelle should not be on this list!

[Yellowcard2006]

I'm pretty sure Americas favorite music is rap+r&b. I would much rather listen to cock rock than E40 or 50Cent... even though it is garbage

Well maybe in the teenage to mid twenties range but I don't know too many 36 year old's that are jamming to the new 50cent album on their ipod.

[Piss]

wheres seether and three days grace?

[Kevward]

I went with Chevelle because I remember moshing to "The Clincher" when I saw them. That song is still awesome

[foisol]

I thought "cock-rock" was for 80's sort of sleazy glam rock inspired hard rock bands... all these bands seem like nu-metal or crap-rock.

[Everiggs]

Staind..."Mudshovel" was the shit.

[tony_u]

Sadly I know plenty of people who would list most or all of these as their favorite bands.... I feel like if you don't go out of your way to find new music or have friends who turn you on to it, you're stuck with the radio, you hear the same shit over and over again, and that's what you end up liking

[RuckerPark]

winning the cock rock category is like being the smartest kid with down syndrome.

[circatbs]

staind

[Heart-A-Tact]

Giiib gab!

[Cheesus]

Giiib gab!

HZLjJy0abf8

lol i love these

[jjjkman]

Other : Brokencyde

I would rather listen to them than any of of these nauseating bands

:-0

[jjjkman]

my friends all LOVE nickelback..and always argue with me about how 'amazing' they are. its pretty annoying...

[Charblarger]

nickelback blows imo

[Dumpweed]

All of these bands are blow my fucking mind bad. I can't stand any of these mentioned except for Chevelle, which I don't even like, I can just tolerate.

[Dumpweed]

Giiib gab!

HZLjJy0abf8


Hahaha, I love this.

MasturBashhiOOoonnn. OOegagga.

[jawstheme]

Hahaha, why do they call it cock rock?

[DejaNew]

I don't understand how people are ashamed to have liked any of these bands back in the day. I used to listen to almost every one of these bands back when I was a junior in high school. Alot of this music, along with other bands like blink-182 and Sum 41 were bands that pretty much everyone listened to before they found the music they like now. Even though I don't listen to most of these bands anymore, I still enjoy spinning one of their albums and remembering the time when I used to like them. I would say most people have some sort of connection with at least one of these bands.

[DejaNew]

I doubt that. The on;y nu metal/ cock rock album I ever listened to or owned was Infest by Papa Roach. I also had heard a few Chevelle, Nickelback, and BB songs on the radio but never heard anything past that by them
Are you saying that you never went through a phase where you listened to one of these bands? Almost everybody I know used to like at least one.

[Bloodsucker II]

I used to be obsessed with Chevelle and Creed!! I grew out of that once I grew a brain started thinking for myself, but at the time it was awesome and really fun!

This obviously doesn't speak for everyone but from a personal standpoint, this is exactly how I am.

Before discovering the interwebz or meeting friends who liked good music, all I had was the shit I heard on the radio. I already knew that I hated rap so I chose the easiest opposite which happened to be cock rock. I thoroughly enjoyed creed, chevelle, staind and other stuff for the longest time. Then when I turned 14 or so I started finding new stuff and went from there.

So yea, I can definitely say that I do enjoy listening to cock-rock from time to time because it reminds me of my birth into a life filled with music (cheesiest thing ever, k.) Its nostalgic and I can't possible imagine everyone to share my feelings on this because we've all had different musical upbringings.

[seraph1214]

I still spin Chevelle every now and then. The other bands are straight garbage.

[vasya]

i thought best meant worst..

[silentstar1134]

trapt ftw, still one of my favs

[3eb23]

glad to see all these votes for chevelle. i loved wonder what's next when it came out and they put on one hell of a show when i saw them.

[Cheesus]

:gay:

Hey bro, thanks for totally trivializing my heart felt lament.. COOL!

I went with Nickelback. Lots of douchebaggery, but some actually really catchy songs.
