[Chriz2z]

MCS, P!ATD, and TAI all in one bracket, tough crowd...

[The Silencer]

easy...Fall of Troy, Nightmare of You, Boys Night Out, Valencia.

[operator]

how can you put the fall of troy up against panic at the disco
fall of troy in my opinion, but the lame ass 15 year olds will pick panic

[seans seatbelt]

It's between BNO or the Fall of Troy for me.
I think I like Troy better, but as for 2005, BNO had a better year. Trainwreck was solid.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Why does it all have to be flash? Dumb.

[MrBaileySays]

The Junior Varsity is the band of the year. My band of the year. and they should be the worlds band of the year. yeah. They rule. They are rad dudes and they know how to make people gyrate.

TREOS makes the world bow to them.

[backstagebethy]

I love the way Smoosh doesn't fall into the all-ages category, even though everyone knows they only got any press because of their ages.

[MrBaileySays]

FUCK THIS SHIT seriously don;t put pani1 up against fall of troy cause fall of troy is way better, but we all know this is just some popularity contest. Maybe you should have seperated the jokes of bands some call pop punk from the good bands.

The fall of troy would destroy the disco before anyone had time to panic!

Too bad they will.

[radxbandit]

Oh, and jsut so everyone is clear, out of 5300 votes so far, Fall of Troy has 73% of them, lets not use this as an excuse to bash another band, they're both cool.

[aminorthreat55]

The Oranges Band!

[MrBaileySays]

Too bad they will.
You are a load your mother should have swallowed.

and THAT is a true story

i find it hilarious that almost every band i have seen mentioned as somebody's "pick(s)" to win it all (in all of the threads concerning this contest) has been from the "all ages" category. the name of the category basically implies that it's for the kids. branch out guys.

Doesn't mean that they're bad, dude.

The britpop section is just as trendy as the all ages section.

[loveofliberty]

Funny story...the fall of troy makes more mature and intelligent music than all the other bands in the "All-Ages" category, and in my humble opinion, they belong in another category. but no category fits them as they are beyond simple categorization. i hope they win.

agreed. they are the only band in that category that even deserves consideration.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Well, at least MC Chris looks like he will be making it past the first round.

[Punkdc]

mc chris owns. I really hope he gets it. I know he's not really doing rap just for the money. I know hes doing a semester of schooling right now, so maybe this can show him that he can do rapping full time

thats so true. because they are paired up against p!atd they dont really ahve a chance to win.

[bowlingforfun]

i voted for patd and used magic to take away votes from the fall of troy.

[Nate_RAWKS]

Because it's 2006

/jk you know i love you

haha


What the??

[kazuma_ootaro28]

Great news. It looks as if Fall of Troy is beating Panic! At The Disco.

[DroppedUrPocket]

haha


What the??
That's how it feels?

Hahaha. I dunno.

[daang]

feist!

[homicide hearts]

everyone please vote VALENCIA!

those guys really deserve it and they are so underrated.

the academy is... will get theres alerady this year. so give it to valencia!

[deFobbed14yrs]

u people have to chill. i side with the panic people.

[sharpenup]

panic is pulling ahead
they sent out a bulletin...
kinda sad

[JoshIsArealBoy]

PATD can SMFC, Fall of Troy all the way! I wish TREOS would've atleast have gotten picked for the contest, the totally deserve it!

[AHMYBRAIN]

The Fall of Troy.

Thread over.

[bowlingforfun]

The Fall of Troy.

Thread over.

14 yr. old (this number gets lower every time someone uses it to generalize pop-punk fans...its hilarious) girls vs. the overzealous fans with chips on their shoulders the size of the grand canyon....i dont even know which is worse at this point. except the 14 yr. old girls don't know about ap.net so i don't get a chance to listen to them complain.

[AHMYBRAIN]

Oh, shut the hell up. I've given P!ATD at try, and they are, quite simply, a cheap imitation of Fall Out Boy with keyboards interspersed.

And if you compare them objectively, Doppleganger blows A Fever You Can't Sweat Out out of the water. I literally cannot comprehend someone saying that Panic! is a better band than The Fall of Troy.

And nowhere did I mention 14 year old girls in my post at any time.

[Low Level Owl]

wolf parade? anyone?

that was the worst interpretation of my post i think i could have imagined (but then again...one i would expect) nowhere did i say one or the other bands was better (that's a matter of opinion anyway, not a scientific formula). and nowhere did i say you referred to anyone as 14 year old girls, that was just something i put out there...try again.

ps. if you compare them by sales...fever kills doppleganger. spin doesnt really give a list of criteria to go by in order to name band of the year. get my point? get over it.

[AHMYBRAIN]

And of course, since how good something is is directly related to how many units it sells (or how many times Peter Wentz mentions your band in an interview, in this case), that's a valid arguement in this context.

OH WAIT...

The rest of your post really didn't make much sense so I think I'll pretend you never said anything.

and band of the year by spin doesnt equal the most talented band contest (not that fall of troy would be deserving of that one either) i thought we'd covered that...and im sorry that me clearing up your lame accusations was too hard to read, stick to tiger beat. peace.

[Ryan Imhof]

I voted Valencia. I love that band.

[bowlingforfun]

I voted Valencia. I love that band.

amen to that noise..that would be a sweet upset, although i like the academy is. valencia are sweeter dudes though.

[billcom7]

Support VALENCIA!!!!!!! I am afraid they are gonna need all the help they can get.

[smallbutfeisty]

the website won't work for me...i just get an error message every time i try it.

[1check_1love]

tfot is winning

[loveofliberty]

as they should be.

[DroppedUrPocket]

So, did Panic skyrocket since yesterday morning?

[DroppedUrPocket]

And my answer is no, they haven't. Looks like they're not doing too well.
