Sweet 16: Jack's Mannequin vs. Something Corporate

[Anton Djamoos]

Which band is your favorite?

[Chromefox]

GOOD. I was hoping for this matching. It felt a little unfair having them both in at once.

That said, Jack's.

[DejaNew]

This should be interesting. Never truly got into Jack's though. Have to go with SoCo.

[SSLYBY]

Oh shit.

[SSLYBY]

One word, Konstantine.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Appropriate.

SoCo.

[AndrewIcex]

This is going to be tough.

[AndrewIcex]

I think SoCo, cause I gave each band... 3 songs, and SoCo takes it.

[googirl8907]

This is SO hard for me but SoCo.

[xtheaudition]

soco hands down

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

Jack's for sure.

[pianorocklove]

Something Corporate.
That being said, I expect Jack's will win this.

[TSLROCKS]

SoCo

[Nardes]

Its like picking between Jesus and God! FUCK!

[Alex DiVincenzo]

SoCo, but it's tough.

[hiya]

I was hoping this would happen, SoCo all the way. plus jack's wouldn't be what it is without soco coming first.

[Chromefox]

I wager SoCo is gonna take it.

Who wants to bet with me and what?

[ashiex3]

Something Corporate.

[The Raine]

I was also hoping we'd see this matchup. Love them both, but I'm going with SoCo.

[softhands]

Sc.

[whenyourearound]

Shit, this ones tough. I'm going to have to go with soco.

[kimbustion]

maybe if soco wins, andrew will realize they should do a reunion tour.

[oddwithoutend]

Something Corporate because JM puts too much pop in my pop punk.

[rickbarrera]

Soco sorry jack's but punk rock princess, hurricane, Konstantine, jordan, i wont make you, and the list goes on...

no way even if TGP is a perfect record those songs mean a lot to me (well maybe jordan only for making me laugh)

[kianacarly]

This was hard, but I went with Jack's in the end.

[Nardes]

maybe if soco wins, andrew will realize they should do a reunion tour.

we can hope :)

[walshknilb281]

mcmahons got an automatic bye to the elite 8...bullshit

Jack's

[batmannj]

SoCo by a little

[Ryzenfall]

Brilliant pairing. Jacks is just more advanced in nearly every way besides history with listeners, unfortunately that might be what takes it here.

[rickbarrera]

maybe if soco wins, andrew will realize they should do a reunion tour.

this!

but it'll be awesome a full reunion, new record and all that stuff

[midtown4657]

i actually can't decide this one yet. right now i may be leaning towards jack's..which kinda surprises me.

[Chromefox]

mcmahons got an automatic bye to the elite 8...bullshit

Jack's OR they could have put him up in TWO polls and given him TWO more shots, depending on his matchup.

[ExplodingStereo]

Wow. I love this matchup. Jack's for me. Everyone's gonna go with SoCo, but I listen to Jack's way more often.

[ninthandash]

only because I grew up with Leaving Through The Window. There's so much more nostalgia associated with that for me.
That being said, in 10 years, I might like Jack better.

Oh well. I'll change my vote then.

[phil19]

something corporate

[irthesteve]

I voted SoCo since I think Jack will win, but I don't care what happens here, it's a win either way in my mind

[walshknilb281]

OR they could have put him up in TWO polls and given him TWO more shots, depending on his matchup.
it was a joke, I really don't care

[chochobonewagon]

mmmm mmmm mmm SoCo

[jimjam32]

JM plz.

[seraph1214]

SoCo in a tough decision.

[hailthewarrior]

So to the Co

[Keagan Ilvonen]

SoCo, c'mon now Straw Dog? Can't compete.

[chr1s]

Fuck. Like someone said, Konstantine.


But on the other hand, Caves.


This is baaaaad. Think I'm going to go with with Jack's though. SoCo helped me through high school, but Jack's means a whole lot more to me right now.

[guill89]

Jack's... there isnt a Jack's song that i dont like.

[nerdvglc]

i went with soco for old times' sake. 'nuff said.

[noles848]

What The Fuck

[Imperfektion]

This poll is so unfair that I had to flip a coin. So I have to go with SoCo.

[dpetty21]

What a hell of a matchup. Are these random or was that an awesome plan? I like Jacks much more than Soco.

[boxingwithstars]

this is just cruel... i might as well flip a coin.

SoCo, i guess.

[zeropunk16]

SoCo

[Broden Terry]

This is so difficult. i think I'll go with Jack's. :nod:

[mrxstripes]

Oh that's harsh, but SoCo

[crivor]

Still and will always be a SoCo fan. til the end

[themusiclife]

Tough, but SoCo will always have a special place in my heart. Anything Andrew does is golden.

[Chris Fallon]

I kissed a drunk girrrrrrl...

[Clark]

The best album from the two bands is Everything In Transit, but overall I would have to say Something Coporate is superior thus far.

[suavemike]

Jacks!

[WTG]

Jack's. never got into soco

[Hamlet]

JM has better songwriting.

[laxcrs]

soco

some days all i do is watch the sky

[katieissweet]

I knew this was going to happen. Tough, but SoCo.

[kdefrisc]

god i hate these two bands

[alltimecam]

Super appropriate matchup

[ericsounds41]

That was very hard to decide.

[what_ever]

Jack's makes better music

[fadedmemories]

Never got into Jack's, but the only SoCo record I like is North

[acowsert]

I have to go with JM, despite the fact that there would be no JM w/o SoCo...

[starjamgirl]

If it weren't for Jack's new album it'd be SoCo hands down. Hard choice, but still chose SoCo.

[fivergirl]

I voted Something Corporate because they have more of my favorite songs.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

easssy soco.

[loveisdead]

I voted for Soco but I'm not so sure now. When I compare Leaving Through the Window with Everything in Transit, I'll take EIT any day. I don't even understand how a person with the talent Andrew has wrote songs like I kissed a Drunk Girl, Punk Rock Princess and If You C Jordan. Comparing North with The Glass Passenger is really fucking hard. North is one of my all time favorite records and has some of my favorite work Andrew has done. However the same applies to The Glass Passenger and I think that Caves, Swim, and Hammers and Strings are insanely good. I think I'd change my vote to Jacks.

[bailmeout13]

Jack's.

[COTA]

Gonna have to go with SoCo

[anthonydarko]

SoCo because I sadly never got into Jack's Mannequin. Would anyone recommend me which JM record I should start with?

[acowsert]

SoCo because I sadly never got into Jack's Mannequin. Would anyone recommend me which JM record I should start with?

I'd check out Everything in Transit AND The Glass Passenger.

They're equally amazing but EIT will always be one of my favorite albums.

[cscwell107]

SoCo just barely. This is a funny match up though.

[Freeman/]

Finally some good matchups.. I think Andrew is only gettin better and the glass passenger is proof of that. + The first jacks man cd was made while he was fighting leukemia

[AndrewIcex]

SoCo just barely. This is a funny match up though.


Andrew = The winner here.

Plus him and I have the same name, another win.

[anthonydarko]

I'd check out Everything in Transit AND The Glass Passenger.

They're equally amazing but EIT will always be one of my favorite albums.
Alright thank you, I'll be sure to give those two a listen :-)

[TalkShowsOnMute]

Jack's Mannequin

[loveisdead]

I expected a ton of more discussion in this thread.

[jawstheme]

If Soco beats Radoiohead then they obviously beat Jack's. I still think people were voting for Southern Comfort in the last poll though.

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

still pretty early. but I wouldn't be mad if jack's won. not really like their is a loser here anyway.

[XEmoBoyShandorX]

Going with SoCo on this one. Its really close though.

[Undue Noise]

Incrediby tough but well matched poll. SoCo were my first love so I have to go with them.

[littlebeav]

Konstantine. Someone else beat me to it... but... /thread

[huckleberry]

gotta go with soco

[loveisdead]

Konstantine. Someone else beat me to it... but... /thread
It's an amazing song but I don't think Soco wins because of one song they created. To me you have to look at the albums as a whole.

[robat19]

SoCo should win.

[dancelukedance]

SoCo. I was talking about this is the jack's thread last night haha. What a match up!

[spunkmastaflex]

SC because i can not get into JM, no matter how many times i was forced to listen to it

[friskycurtain]

thank god soco is in front

[Nick Le]

haha ohh man this is interesting...

i went with jack's though.

[emkvetwin]

I could still be ruthless if you let me...

[drudo182]

Jack's Mannequin.

[loveisdead]

I could still be ruthless if you let me...
Next to Konstantine this is my favorite Soco song.

[amysaurus]

Soco <3

[loveisdead]

This seriously is such a hard decision.

[iheartTHS]

This has to be the hardest one yet for me personally. I just find everything that Andrew has ever created to be perfect. Had to go with Jack's though because I could listen to their discography all the way through without skipping while I would skip a few SoCo songs (Jordan, Punk Rock Princess, etc.) Very hard decision though.

Yayy for Andrew in the elite 8!

As much as I want to hate this post for being entirely too fangirlish, I am just as much a fanboy of Andrew so I basically agree.

[walking_by91]

Is this a random matchup or was it just a co-ink-a-dink?
Gotta go with Something Corporate. Jack's Mannequin is great and shows Andrew's progression as an artist, but SoCo has something special about them. They'll always hold a special place in my heart
/cheesy

[iheartTHS]

As much as I want to hate this post for being entirely too fangirlish, I am just as much a fanboy of Andrew so I basically agree.

I'm sorry. Andrew is the only person that I allow myself to fangirl over. Promise.

[punkrockness]

Like everyone else, this was a tough decision, but I had to go with SoCo. I seriously think that I listened to North on repeat for at least 4 months straight. I really wont mind who wins thought because in the end Andrew comes out a winner either way.

[loveisdead]

I'm sorry. Andrew is the only person that I allow myself to fangirl over. Promise.
I'm sorta similar. I have my moments with other people but it's definitely worse with Andrew.

[yves.]

Its like picking between Jesus and God! FUCK!

i lol'd so hard at this.

picked soco.

[hailthewarrior]

SoCo clearly wins... 2 fantastic albums and a great EP... Jack's has 1 fantastic album and one decent album.

Let's not even discuss how much Konstantine pwns MFEO (words cannot describe how much I DON'T like this song compared to how much I LOVE the rest of the album) in the "long narrative" department.

[Chromefox]

Sorry, LTTW is a far cry from fantastic, and I say this as someone who enjoys it and whose life it played a role in.

[RAMROD85]

I hope Andrew wins this one...

haha.

[hailthewarrior]

LTTW is fantastic for me... Cavanaugh Park and I Woke Up In A Car are some of my favorite songs ever.

[theguy77]

but its NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT what it SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMS

NOTHINS THE SAME WHEN YA GIVE IT AWAY

<3

[loveisdead]

LTTW is fantastic for me... Cavanaugh Park and I Woke Up In A Car are some of my favorite songs ever.
Eh, While I agree with those two songs you can't leave out Punk Rock Princess, If You C Jordan and I Kissed a Drunk Girl. I think Andrew punches himself in the face every time he's reminded he wrote those songs.

[hailthewarrior]

Eh, While I agree with those two songs you can't leave out Punk Rock Princess, If You C Jordan and I Kissed a Drunk Girl. I think Andrew punches himself in the face every time he's reminded he wrote those songs.

Haha. Punk Rock Princess is the song one of my best friends and I sing to each other all the time, so it has that... Jordan makes me laugh... I'll give you Drunk Girl.

[loveisdead]

Haha. Punk Rock Princess is the song one of my best friends and I sing to each other all the time, so it has that... Jordan makes me laugh... I'll give you Drunk Girl.
I have pretty fond memories with all those songs. I was speaking from a purely song writing standpoint. It's really fascinating to see how much he has grown.

[hailthewarrior]

oh, i totally agree, haha. but this is one case where i let nostalgia override that sense. ;)

[Chromefox]

but its NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT what it SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMS

NOTHINS THE SAME WHEN YA GIVE IT AWAY

<3 You sir have the right idea.

[frostedhearts]

Hardest choice ever....... but SoCo

[denissuxx]

SoCo. Easy, but tough

[artistanonymous]

SoCo, no question.

Leaving Through the Window > Everything Jack's Mannequin has/will put out

[loveisdead]

SoCo, no question.

Leaving Through the Window > Everything Jack's Mannequin has/will put out
Wow. At least say North. The Glass Passenger is better lyrically, sonically and vocally than Leaving Through the Window. With the exception of a few songs (Cavanaugh Park, Globes and Maps, I woke Up in a Car, Fall) Leaving Through the Window really is not that good.

[konfusedsoul346]

maybe if soco wins, andrew will realize they should do a reunion tour.

here's to wishful thinking.

that's being said, something corporate. hands down. i turned down a trip to hawaii to see them live, so i am basically obligated to vote for them.

[artistanonymous]

Wow. At least say North. The Glass Passenger is better lyrically, sonically and vocally than Leaving Through the Window. With the exception of a few songs (Cavanaugh Park, Globes and Maps, I woke Up in a Car, Fall) Leaving Through the Window really is not that good.

I have so much history behind Leaving Through the Window and I love that album so much more than North. The Glass Passenger, to me, was a huge disappointment. Though vocally and instrumentally it was better, Leaving Through the Window holds higher for me. While North has it's good tracks, I still enjoy LTTW more. And more than just those songs you've listed, there's The Astronaut, If You See Jordan, Straw Dog, Drunk Girl, You're Gone. Hell I think the only song off LTTW I didn't enjoy was Good News.

[3mpire]

Jack's M. Although I do have a soft spot for Konstantine.

I think even Andrew would acknowledge that these songs are not good (along with Punk Rock Princess). I used to love the album and those songs when I was younger too, but I go back to them and they're just not very good. I compare Leaving Through the Window with Everything in Transit because they're his poppier sounding albums (and first with each band) and I say Everything in Transit is far better. North and The Glass Passenger are much harder for me to compare but I think between Swim, Hammers and Strings, The Resolution and Caves I'd have to say that he created his most diverse and ambitious album ever.

[Dagless]

I've gone with Jack's here.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

I wanted Jack's Mannequin to take this. Andrew McMahon's work is so much better in that project than in Something Corporate, imo.

[loveisdead]

I wanted Jack's Mannequin to take this. Andrew McMahon's work is so much better in that project than in Something Corporate, imo.
I think nostalgia makes a lot of decisions in these polls.

[madisonavenue]

What Not Possible

[MrBen]

Aww man, tough call. SoCo though I think. Doesn't mean I love Jack's any less, just SoCo has been with me longer, like a reliable old friend

[Mixtape182]

Jack's Mannequin

[MADSTA]

Well this was inevitable.
SoCo for the win!

[boxingwithstars]

I wanted Jack's Mannequin to take this. Andrew McMahon's work is so much better in that project than in Something Corporate, imo.

i agree, but i still voted for SoCo because i've come to the conclusion that nothing will be able to beat North for me... not even EIT.

[just-in.]

Dayumn, what a matchup. SoCo.

[MADSTA]

i agree, but i still voted for SoCo because i've come to the conclusion that nothing will be able to beat North for me... not even EIT.
Yep. North is amazing.

[loveisdead]

Gotta agree, North is amazing. I still think nostalgia aside, that I'd change my vote to Jacks.

[Shin Akuma]

SoCo!!!!!

[_Lou_]

That was difficult but I went with SoCo.

[atticusfinch]

SoCo.

[boxingwithstars]

Gotta agree, North is amazing. I still think nostalgia aside, that I'd change my vote to Jacks.

yeah, i agree. nostalgia is part of the reason i love North so much in the first place. there is no denying that Andrew only continues to improve as a musician, and what he's doing now is great, but the way i felt about that band and that album at that particular time in my life cannot be matched.

[boxingwithstars]

SoCo clearly wins... 2 fantastic albums and a great EP... Jack's has 1 fantastic album and one decent album.

Let's not even discuss how much Konstantine pwns MFEO (words cannot describe how much I DON'T like this song compared to how much I LOVE the rest of the album) in the "long narrative" department.

maybe, but Caves > Konstantine.

[walking_by91]

Konstantine > Caves > MFEO

[Until The Bombs]

Jack's.

[SteffRyanFail]

I like both, but I listen to SoCo more.

[bleach]

God no. I'll have to go with SoCo.

Everything Andrew makes is gold. Gold, I tell you.

[Protested Hero]

I started to sweat that was so tough.

[Hagysaurus Rex]

SoCo no contest.

Jack's is good and all, but it never moved me the way SoCo did every time I listened to them.

[Hagysaurus Rex]

maybe, but Caves > Konstantine.


:lol: Good one!

...oh wait, are you actually being serious here??

[anamericangod]

I want to hear your opinion on the Soco Jacks one.

Something Corporate over Jack's. I love Jack's Mannequin, some of those songs mean the world to me, but Something Corporate was basically the soundtrack (along with a few other albums) for my life awhile back. The albums were a bit more consistent, and honestly I would have to say that Konstantine is arguably the most scene defining song for people who were around in those days. So many people have memories attached to that song, and I can't think of anything else that really comes close to doing what that song does.

Both great bands with lots of great songs, but the nostalgia wins me over.

[Jasper112]

SoCo, duh...

[Jasper112]

maybe, but Caves > Konstantine.

Globes and Maps > Konstantine > Caves

[blimpcityhero11]

Andrew McMahon FTW.

[trappedintime]

SoCo

[iwuvzebraboy]

Why are these against each other wahhhh

[YouMeHimAndHer]

Really hard but Jacks pipped it

[Circa1628]

Something Corporate... North, enough said

[Schreiforme417]

this is the most fun bracket. andrew is beating himself. gotta go with soco

Woke up in a car is a seminal song for being on the road

[teh_erica]

This is so hard!! I'm going with my last.fm plays because I can't decide.
878 plays for Jack's vs 805 for SoCo.. that being said, those are my 3rd and 4th most played bands haha.

[just.Starla.]

Jack's, but I'm really starting to get more into SoCo.

[RonStoppable]

Something Corporate. Not a huge fan of either.

[nickthehick2]

Jack's Mannequin fo sho

[WFUJerseyJon]

I personally think anything Andrew McMahon touches is perfection, but I gotta tip my cap to the band that got me started. SoCo for me here.

[musicaddict]

I have a long history with SoCo...that being said Andrew's matured so much since those days. I have to go with Jack's

[empod]

Its like picking between Jesus and God! FUCK!

Haha. I agree. I put Itunes on shuffle and whichever song came up first won. SoCo it is.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Went with SoCo, mostly on the account that I've never heard a Jack's Mannequin song all the way through.

['59]

One word, Konstantine.

you just completely destroyed and chances JM had of winning this.
ha.

[Allister Owens]

Jack's Mannequin for sure.

[Readyfuels]

SoCo for sure

[caitlinlee]

Its like picking between Jesus and God! FUCK!

Haha, great analogy.

I think TGP is a nearly perfect record, but I don't know if I can vote against SoCo.

[mms13]

This is a tight one!
Love both, but I voted for Jack's

[kiraalyx]

Soco

[xstarstruckk]

One word, Konstantine.

this. done.

[new_arbiter]

Jack's. I think Everything In Transit is a solid pop album, but the rest of his stuff, SoCo included, has been pretty hit and miss with me(I should add that I have no nostalgic attachment to SoCo).

[meghanlail]

God, this is hard. I went with SoCo just because they have been my favorite band for a long time. I do love Jack's, though, so I'll be happy either way.

[Max_123]

dammmmn that's a tough decision
either way Andrew on top!

[Just Matt]

Jack's writes much better songs but I guess AP.net can't shake the nostalgia factor

[Just Matt]

Who are we? The Wildcats.

Who are we going to beat? The Wildcats.

[lovekillsgirl]

SoCo, I could never really get into Jack's.

[jtyexists9]

Ho hum.

[n1asfan]

One word, Konstantine.

This.

And "North" is one of my all time favorites.

[airik625]

Something Corporate.

This band was one of my favorite bands in High School. I remember showing all of my friends 'Konstantine' because I thought it was the greatest song ever at the time.

[airik625]

Though I still think The Glass Passenger is Andrew's most mature and best work to date.

[ACA]

Jack's Mannequin is on a totally different level than Something Corporate, especially live. Andrew's songwriting for JM is generally miles above what he did with Something Corporate.

Both bands are great, and both bands have great songs, but JM has to win in the end. The live performance is the clincher.

[on a frequency]

i spent ten minutes trying to decide what to write here, going back and forth between jacks and soco like 20 times. bottom line, i cannot pick one over the other. at all. maybe later...

[on a frequency]

ok, got it. (that was fast).

i went with jm. soco is great, but it just doesn't feel up to par with jack's... leaving through the window is one of my favorite albums EVER, but jack's just seems better... the songs are more interesting lyrically and musically, i think. but for all i know, i could be taking this back in an hour. hmm...

[Charles777]

I love Everything In Transit. I went with Jacks

[zubinmoosa]

Gotta go with SoCo here. Tough choice though

[xidreamofyou32x]

Something Corporate, but I love Jack's Mannequin too.

[Talib Scottie]

SoCo for their body of work.

[Mibabalou]

guess i go with SoCo but i dont really like either

[foisol]

SoCo!

[Montauk1222]

Something Corporate, either way McMahon makes it to the next round so I'm happy.

[c_rob2700]

Jack's, hands down. I think SoCo is good for what it is but Jack's is just a whole entire step above

[boxingwithstars]

:lol: Good one!

...oh wait, are you actually being serious here??

i'm serious when i say that i think Konstantine is pretty overrated compared to other songs Andrew has written, and that Caves is at least a much better written song. even though the vocals in the first half aren't his strongest, it builds up great, unlike Konstantine.

Globes and Maps > Konstantine > Caves

Globes and Maps is probably one of their most underrated songs.

[tonighttonight0]

SoCo

[Schmidty Says]

Jack's.

[outro]

aw whatthehell.

[bleach]

I have to listen to Andrew McMahon now. Ahhh which record to choose.

[battybat17]

I think I'm going with SoCo just because I wouldn't be listening to Jack's if it wasn't for that band...
But I have to say, Andrew only gets better and better.

[notoaststereo]

something corporate

[sohcampco]

This is just mean... :(

[chris1152]

SoCo > Jack's. The Glass Passenger just wasn't my thing, I guess.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Jack's.

[burrito]

something corporate Ftw!!!!!!!

[blankets]

Damn that was hard. I went with SoCo though.

[Formatfun]

SoCo, and honestly I'm not sure why. I just decided.

[ThisIsNotDan]

SoCo = two great albums
Jack's = a great one and just a decent one

SoCo for me. North is the best thing Andrew has done

[TheHoldSteady]

Never got into Jack's, so let's go Something Corporate.

[11:11]

SoCo, one of my top 5 favorite bands.

[TheClockSounds]

This was so hard but soco because of the whole album of north

[LCincala]

shit.

this was unfair.

[WoodenSoldier]

either way Andrew goes on :-d

[ryheeles]

Always been more into SoCo

[Indoor Living]

Gotta go with Jack's. I just enjoy them more, even though both bands are fucking brilliant.

[ATL182fan]

Something Corporate

[ijbet59]

Konstantine

[xheartdenterx]

Jack's, even though SoCo is more fun to say.

[PenThrive]

Something Corp.

[AlternaPrincess]

SoCo. Because of Konstantine. And the fact that North is probably my favorite album ever.

[lonelysuperstar]

I think people say SoCo for nostalgic reasons, when actually Andrew has got a heap better as a songwriter as time has gone on. Jack's Mannequin ftw.

[drewziph]

just for konstantine.

[patheticmind]

Jack's.

[dani1292]

I voted Jack's.

[wahwah16]

This is much too hard.

[wahwah16]

just for konstantine.

nvm, this swayed my vote.

[lolliot]

My angle is pretty much reversed from everyone else: I vote Jack's because I wouldn't have discovered SoCo had I not found Jack's first.

Seriously tough call though. Leaving Through The Window is probably my favourite album of everything Andy's been involved with.

[fiercetown]

It makes me happy that an Andrew McMahon project is making it to the next round.

[fightinirish217]

SoCo

[bumblebebe]

I guess Soco, but only cuz Konstantine. If that song did not exist, it would be a tie nothing could ever break.

[TheSkyline]

Its like picking between Jesus and God! FUCK!

Hahaha dude I know. I went with Jack's.

[tonyC4L]

god i hate these two bands
oh no you did NOT

[tomj2006]

hands down, Something Corporate

[tm24x]

If Something Corporate had never existed, would be even have Jack's Mannequin? So Something Corporate it is.

[rockinLc24]

I'd have to go with SoCo.

[SeanEBoy2686]

SoCo... but I'm thinking if Jack's had one more album under their belt that I may've voted for them (assuming it is a good album, but how couldn't it be?).

[PopPunkKid]

I really think SoCo is winning just because of the nostalgia factor for some people, sorry.

Don't get me wrong I like some SoCo stuff, but I don't think they've written anything quite as good as Everything In Transit.

[Tristan Needler]

Something Corporate for me, pretty straight-forward. Both are good though.

I really think SoCo is winning just because of the nostalgia factor for some people, sorry.

Don't get me wrong I like some SoCo stuff, but I don't think they've written anything quite as good as Everything In Transit.
I wasn't around for their prime, so there was no nostalgia factor in my vote. I think North and LTTW are much more consistent than EIT and TGP. And Noth has grown to be one of my favourite albums.

Fair enough. I do like a good amount of SoCo songs, just not as much as I love some of JM's stuff.

One word, Konstantine.

SoCo has soooo many songs better than Konstantine. I don't understand why people are so in love with that song.

nor does he put psychedelia in his pop like will does. No, he doesn't have a British accent. Obviously that's what tips the scales.
