And I'm glad Panic lost, I can't stand them.

[analog_boy]

Imogen Heap or Nightmare of You. The rest is all unlistenable garbage.

[DSCN1854]

Hooray for The Cribs, Imogen Heap, The Upwelling, and Nightmare of You winning.

BOO for Valencia winning against MCS.

[Manbotisdead]

[Ryan Imhof]

no way could never really get into MCS. I can't believe Valencia even won the first round!

[fever]

[bankrom]

i guess the UK wasn't voting.

[reductiondesign]

Valencia DEFEAT
Motion City Soundtrack

No!

[Rock]

MCS should have won it all. I don't even know who Valenica is.

[YourLatestVicti]

how the fuck did valencia beat motion city soundtrack? that is a travesty.

I personally got bored with MCS real quick, and Valencia is one of my favorite cds from last year.

[the sob]

imogen heap now that motion city is out

[Ruggiero2oo8]

i can't believe some of these

[bit]

[brothermonk]

i've never listened to the cribs, but they better be damn good.

[IAPAI]

i've never listened to the cribs, but they better be damn good.

Do it.
Cribs. Cribs. Cribs.

[shagelific]

nightmare of you should win. and panic was probably the second best band in it. although seeing feist win would be cool too

[HungJury]

Didn't Panic almost lose to Fall Of Troy? There was some kind of computer IP address scam with Panic. Hmmmmm...

[romantic rights]

hahaha panic lost.
but who are these cribs who beat the go! team??

[romantic rights]

nightmare of you should win. and panic was probably the second best band in it. although seeing feist win would be cool too

the go! team > panic and noy

[JohnnyG]

Go Valencia!

[recoveryprocess]

why is valencia and nightmare of you beating panic and mcs...what is this???

[screamoutmyname]

this poll is complete shit.

[kennethagee]

I think motion city should have won, valencia is okay, but I they jsut kind of bore me. I can't get into nightmare of you either. Not bad, I'de just rather listen to something else. I guess I hope imogen wins now.

[Sureshot182]

ALL-AGES
Nightmare of You DEFEAT
Panic! at the Disco
:) nightmare of you is leaps better.

[marques]

Interesting how quickly opinions can change.

Going off what my friend and user bit said before,

I personally cannot stand how quickly people on this site have turned on Panic once they became bigger (some would argue overexposed) and no longer "their" band, but also the band of thousands of pre-teens/TRL watchers across America. I anticipated Panic's cd before it came out, and once it did I immediately loved it, along with thousands of people who use this site. You could not enter a thread without some mention of Panic in one way or the other by readers of the board.

Just as an example, I would like to look into one comment that has been made so far on this thread. Numerous more examples of this could be founf all over the site but its hard to go through the thousands of posts some people have on this site. In no means am I singling out this user, but he just provided me with a perfect example of such a hypocritical action.

Panic lost, finally.
hmm. It would seems Mister matddors really despises this band, right? He is so happy to have Panic out of the contest.

But wait a minute.

"Good for them. I like their songs, catchy stuff."


hmm interesting how it's 'good for them' to reach one million plays on purevolume but not to win a popularity contest, aka SPIN's poll (I would argue that the two are one in the same)


I am no stranger to this phemonena in music; I am also huge fans of both Blink-182 and Yellowcard, two bands who I can say I "got in to" before they reached national exposure. While I'll be the first to admit that it can be argued that the quality of music these bands put out as they grew more famous may have degraded/changed, I can still sit back and pop in Blink-182 (self-titled) (Blink) or Lights & Sounds (Yellowcard) and enjoy it just as much as Dude Ranch or One For The Kids, respectively.

I welcome (and anticipate) any future arguments against mine.



and um.. with that said.

Go Nightmare Of You!

[Greg]

why is valencia and nightmare of you beating panic and mcs...what is this???
panic! desereved to be gone first round. thank god they finally lost.

and i like both valencia and MCS... so whatever

[masonic]

anything where the go! team and motion city soundtrack lose = horseshit. go imogen heap

Oh snap. Good find. haha

[Of Dust and Nations]

not to defend panic!, but they told people not to vote for them and to vote for MCS instead the day after they won round one. i remember the 46456786 myspace bulletins.

[KarateExplosion]

nine black alps fucking own

[-Aaron-]

Good I enjoy Nightmare of You.

[carramrod2005]

haha im listening to mostion city as i type...to bad they lost. o well go Nightmare of You

[dubey]

The only reason Nightmare of You won was because people were using bots to vote against Panic!. Their poll had like 14,000 votes in couple days while the others had like 2,000. Which is why there is verification now.

[Kelley Nicole]

feist is SO much better.

I want Valencia to win because while I love MCS just as much as the next guy, Valencia could use the exposure more than MCS. "This Could Be a Possibility" was one of my favorite CDs of 2005.

Go Valencia go.

[Lueda Alia]

I'm killing everyone that doesn't vote for Imogen. And I'm killing everyone if she doesn't win, too.

nightmare of you beating panic is fucking awesome. but how did MCS lose to valencia?

I do like P!ATD, but I think The Fall Of Troy should've beaten them in the first round.

Whats up Valencia!

NOY is amazing

come search my archives mr. detective.. you'll be glad to find that i am not a hypocrite, and nor are a lot of people. i know a good handful who have despised patd from the start.

i don't really know whether to applaud NOY or not. its not like this has never been done before.. i'm sure if we could just expose every poll, survey, hell even purevolume plays... we'd reveal a whole shitload of "dirty work" like this. i wouldn't be surprised if panic has done something like this in the past. maybe its my bias talking, cause i hate panic, but cheating isn't something new to this cut-throat industry.

a 'handful' of people is alot less than about half this site who cant stand to be seen enjoying 'trendy' music

..just wait till nightmare of you gets a bit bigger..things will change

Go Valencia go.

exactly.

[cahrishurr]

nightmare of you will never go out of style for me
i love them alot

i also like motion city soundtrack, but not valencia
i think valencia is a poor mans houston calls

i cant belive panic lost to nightmare, not because i think panic is more talented, because they arent, but because panic seems to have just blown up so fast, its just shocking

[yutsmcgee]

damn, look at valencia go.

[wtfemokid]

awesome. i love panic! but nightmare of you is both better, and from long island so basically, win win :)

[AbeLurkin]

this shit is bananas. b a n a n a s.

[verybarrywhyte]

NoY!

[whatbrendansaid]

my vote goes to imogen heap

[awfmike]

go go go imogen heap!

[InHope]

nightmare of you beats panic?

i guess mommy and daddy didnt let the kids on the computer or something.

hahahaha.

really, this probably isnt about which bands are better or have more fans. its about which bands take the time to ask their fans to vote over and over again.

panic and mcs are busy selling out tours.

valencia, however, is on the rise and working their asses off to build a fanbase. so, good for them hyping people up.

[Suchasucker]

Imogen Heap DEFEATS
The Greenhornes
YAY! Go Imogen.
