Just Another Favorite Band Poll

[Theseventhson]

I know it's getting old, but I'm fairly bored.

EDIT: I probably shouldn't have included Brand New.

[flks511]

Sonic Youth

[Lemmi!]

Brand Nizzle

[batmannj]

Thursday

[Cøltøn]

Brand New, and if Brand New wasn't included then Thursday.

[ThatswhatUget23]

Yeah people should stop putting Brand New in polls. That being said, I voted Brand New haha

[Broden Terry]

Brand New, but they'll probably win easily. Thus I voted Sonic Youth.

[DropDeadSharkey]

I think everyone here likes Brand New cause everyone else does.
Thursday is so much better.. talent wise.

[Theseventhson]

Both of those bands are towards the bottom of this list in terms of talent.

[briewer]

The top 4 are the only acceptable answers.

[Undue Noise]

The top 4 are the only acceptable answers.
Agreed. Personal preference is Sonic Youth with Talking Heads a close second.

[Yellowcard2006]

I voted Thursday.

[NateGolubiewski]

Toss up between Thursday/Brand New. Voted Brand New.

[Theseventhson]

These results suck. I shouldn't have included the bottom 3.

First Four are Super Stars.
But i didn't grow up with them, so Brand New.

[introduction]

this one should be a brand new victory, followed by thursday.

[allroysez]

oh dear.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

It could've done without Brand New and Glassjaw, not that I hate their music. Second place for me is Talking Heads, following Thursday.

[seraph1214]

Out of these, Thursday and Sonic Youth.

[TotalCollapse]

Thursday

[kbi the crowing]

I know it's getting old, but I'm fairly bored.

EDIT: I probably shouldn't have included Brand New.

prolly not
I voted for em haha

[Meeze]

went w/ Brand New...on a side note, go in an argument w/ someone who thought Glassjaw was better then Thrice. booooo!

[Indoor Living]

Why even think of anything else when Brand New is an option? I mean seriously, compared to them, nobody else is even a band.

[Theseventhson]

Glassjaw>Thrice.

[Meeze]

Glassjaw>Thrice.


were u born when glassjaw last released an LP ??? jk, had to go there though...haha

[MyNameIsRoss]

Sonic Youth. But it's personal preference, any of the choices I would say are acceptable.

[BulleTheory]

i dont understand why people still put BN in polls.

Thursday ftw

[muchoawesomeo]

:redcard:

[GamEin]

I ignored Brand New, it's not fair, so, Glassjaw.

[IceAge/HeatWave]

The top 4 are the only acceptable answers.

this.

[mike'smannequin]

BrandNew > thursday> glassjaw

[Clark]

Yeah, you definitely shouldn't have included Brand New.

With them in the poll I don't even consider anyone else. If you took them out, I'd have a tough time choosing between Talking Heads, The Velvet Underground, and Thursday.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Glassjaw

[jr0d5]

this.

Isn't it sad? Obviously I like the band but they're not that good.

[:-)]

I bet most of the people who voted for BN haven't ever listened to Sonic Youth or Talking Heads since they're not "scene"

[xxemo_kittyxx]

Brand New wins everything on here.

[craigboliver]

kinda different time periods here, still went with fugazi though

[yellowhouse]

Brand New/Fugazi

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Double this

X4
With the TH in front.

[nolan182]

Thursday.

[FullCollaspe]

Tough between Fugazi and Thursday, but since I'm a fanboy I picked Thursday.

[maker_break]

Where's the fucking love for Fugazi and Sonic Youth? Seriously? All these newer bands are way overrated.

[Theseventhson]

It's funny, because all three of the new bands I listed owe a great deal to Fugazi and the Youth.

[maker_break]

It's funny, because all three of the new bands I listed owe a great deal to Fugazi and the Youth.
Exactly. Oh, and you forgot The Smiths.

[Theseventhson]

Exactly. Oh, and you forgot The Smiths.
I'm not a huge Smiths fan, although I do respect them a lot.

[maker_break]

I'm not a huge Smiths fan, although I do respect them a lot.
Yeah. Even if you don't like them, you can't deny how influential they were.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Brand New, duh

[maker_break]

Brand New, duh
*sigh* You're 15. How long have you honestly known Brand New even exists?

Don't get me wrong. I love Brand New. I started listening to them when I was 16 or 17. I'm 20 now. It isn't like bands have some kind of age restriction. That's not what I was saying. Anyone, from anywhere, regardless of age can appreciate any band they wish. Some 15 year old kids actually do have decent taste, believe it or not! What I'm getting at is this... and I'm just making an assumption here... but it seems to me like a whole bunch of kids are jumping on the "OH EM GEE BRAND NEW IS THE BEST BAND EVAR!!!" bandwagon because it's apparently the "cool thing" to do these days. It's about the same as those kids who brag about how they adore the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc when they've probably never even listened to them for more than five minutes. I mean, they sell those bands' shirts at Wal-Mart nowadays! Gets on my damn nerves. It doesn't make you cool to namedrop well respected bands when you barely know what you're talking about.

Yes, well, I'm not like that. I just choose the most appropriate band of the ones listed. Brand New is not my favorite band. But I do really love them. The AP hype about Brand New did get me interested, but it's not like what you said.

I see. Well, answer me this: have you ever owned or listened to a Brand New album prior to the AP hype for Daisy?

[Poe-tryGirl]

I see. Well, answer me this: have you ever owned or listened to a Brand New album prior to the AP hype for Daisy?
Of course I have.

[maker_break]

Of course I have.
I was just curious because you said the AP hype got you interested. I wasn't sure if you meant the hype for Daisy or previous hype. To be honest, I got into Brand New with Deja Entendu. A friend introduced me to them. I'm pretty sure the first song I ever heard was Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades. What was yours?

There's like such an air of respect for Brand New here. That's what got me curious. I think my first was "Luca" or "Degausser."

So you got into them with The Devil and God, huh? That's cool. What really got me into the band was Your Favorite Weapon. I love that album just about as much as Deja. I'd have a hard time picking one as my favorite. I remember singing along to songs like Seventy Times Seven, Jude Law and a Semester Abroad, and The Quiet Things No One Ever Know during my high school years. Their newer material is so different. It took me a while to get into it, but it's still amazing. I just miss those pop-punk sing along choruses they used to do so well.

Then again I've found myself singing along to Jesus on a few occasions. I could never stay mad at Brand New. Even when they go changing, I always find something brand new to love about them. Haha... couldn't resist.

Yep. Sometimes I sing along too. That's something no one wants to hear, but I agree with you. No matter where they go musically, I am sure to follow.

Definitely. I won't know how I feel about Daisy until I hear the entire album. I'm not sure how I feel about "At the Bottom." It's alright but nothing about it really impressed me upon my first listen. Apparently Vin is writing the majority of the material for Daisy. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how I like it when it comes out next month.

Here's an interesting interview with Jesse (http://www.spin.com/articles/qa-brand-news-jesse-lacey?page=0%2C1) I just read.

I haven't heard anything from Daisy yet. I want to hear the whole thing when it comes out. I'll check that interview out.

[maker_break]

Ah, well "At the Bottom" is the first single. It's up on their Myspace (http://profile.myspace.com/brandnew) if you're interested.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Nah, I'd rather wait. Peace out!

[maker_break]

Cool, cool. You want to hear the album as a whole. I understand.
