Which band?

[decaying1713]

I discovered fun. through Fuse's free music section, and loved it so much that I bought the whole album and it is to this day AMAZING. So I went and searched Nate Ruess because I knew fun. was just a side project of his, and I found the Format. So I bought Dog Problems and loved it too.
So I wanted to know which do you think is better? Don't take into account the people in the bands. Just the music. Which band's music would you rather listen to?

[WhoSaidThat?]

fun. is awesome, but The Format just about eclipses fun., in my opinion.

[hitormiss92]

This one is soo hard. I think fun has so much potential, and I love Interventions and Lullabies, but I went with fun in anticipation of a new album.

[loganmmm]

Dog Problems>Aim & Ignite
But, Fun.>Format

... If that makes since. Although, that is mostly because Jack Antonoff is a part of fun. He's great.

[drawndead]

the format hands down one of my favorites

[Deadbolt23]

I don't really either of them.

[himynameiszack]

fun.

[showyourteeth]

the format

[BigAl]

I am in love with fun.

[broaddplease]

I love fun.
But, I havent really heard much of The Format. I'd like to. I just dont know where to start.

makes sense to me and totally agree. especially with Jack Antonoff, great guy who is also very funny haha

[Tristan Needler]

Can't stand The Format and have no desire to listen to fun.

[VampiresRevenge]

I like both, but I went with The Format.

[A7XXX]

I love fun.
But, I havent really heard much of The Format. I'd like to. I just dont know where to start.
They only have two albums so it's not that hard to learn all their stuff. I prefer Dog Problems but Interventions + Lullabies is fine too

[White Noise]

The Format has at least has one song I enjoy.

[Zippedychick]

fun. Can't wait to see them next month!

[NateGolubiewski]

Fun. The two times I saw The Format live they were terrible.

[NervousDestiny]

I love them both equally.

[ManchesterOrch8]

I love his bands it seems, I hate him.

[Chris92]

fun.
but i haven't heard dog problems except 1 song so my vote prob. shouldn't count...

[hitormiss92]

fun.

any news when they may be working on a new album?

[broaddplease]

Oh. There was so much stuff inthe itunes store.

[roju]

too hard. i won't vote. they are equal in my eyes.

[MADSTA]

Dog Problems = :inlove:

[FBTMOPenguins]

The Format is not my cup of tea but they were pretty good live.

[HometownHero]

Can't stand The Format and have no desire to listen to fun.
How is this possible

[HometownHero]

They released other EPs and such but I see what you mean haha

[seraph1214]

I enjoy fun. but The Format is an all time favorite.

[PengusNiugnep]

I love fun.

This.

[cityscapes101]

I'd start at their album Dog Problems. If you like Fun. then you'll probably like the Format.

[cityscapes101]

fun.

any news when they may be working on a new album?

It's only been out since August, so it'll probably be awhile. Though I will totally buy their next album (if there is one).

[muzicislife31]

This is really hard. I love them both. The Format was around longer and has more music out, but fun. has a lot of potential, and Aim & Ignite was amazing. I went with The Format.

[Tristan Needler]

How is this possible
Mostly because The Format are really bad, and people have told me fun. is also bad. Now learning that there is a connection between the two, makes me want to try them even less.

[HometownHero]

[Tristan Needler]

:bluesad: How is The Format really bad?
Hahaha I mean they're not if you like that kind of stuff, I just can't stand it. The guy's voice also annoyed the hell out of me, if I remember properly.

[CaryGrant]

I had to go with the Format just because there's such a larger wealth of material I love by them. Ask me again when fun. has a few more albums and the tides may easily have turned.

[xapplexpiex]

I love The Format (I've listened to Dog Problems so many times), but I think fun. is just alright. I don't get all the hype.

true.

I can relate to Dog Problems really well, and have a closer personal attachment to it. I doubt I'd feel the same way for Aim and Ignite, although A&I is a really good album.

[Feenucks]

Fun..

[:-)]

Hahaha I mean they're not if you like that kind of stuff, I just can't stand it. The guy's voice also annoyed the hell out of me, if I remember properly.

I am happy to know that I am not alone in thinking this way.
+1

[SpyKi]

I love A&I but haven't really listened to anything by The Format. I will soon though.

[itstheLaserRain]

I don't really either of them.

Haha, I was going to say something too.

[Deadbolt23]

Haha, I was going to say something too.

Thankyou..No one else seems to have noticed :|

[Formatfun]

The Format, because the discography is much larger, and it is my favorite band.

[BensonHedges]

I got into fun. through Jack's involvement, not Nate's, so I knew Aim and Ignite before I really knew any of The Format stuff outside of a few songs. I've been getting into The Format gradually and like them a lot. Not much is beating "On Your Porch" for me lately. But I think because I knew fun. first and still know them a little better, I'd go with them. For now, anyway.

[blinkme]

I love both bands, but until fun. release more material, I've got to go with The Format.

[artistanonymous]

I love fun. a lot, they're great to put on and calm down to, but I just love The Format so much more because I've grown to appreciate and dissect every aspect of each album they put out over the past few years and have fallen that much more in love with their music.

[heroesofthepast]

fun.
much more...fun....hm....

[Ryzenfall]

I said fun. now giving them the benefit of the doubt. If they keep putting out records like Aim & Ignite, then soon they'll have the history that I now have with The Format and be a band that I'll really cherish.

[S9Dallasoz]

Interventions & Lullabies

[Neo Cassady]

Interventions & Lullabies

Yes indeedy.

[alliegator16]

I voted fun. Hard choice though, the Format is also spectacular.

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Hard choice, but I went with fun. since I never got into The Format as much. However, decaying1713, you know that fun. is not a side project, right?

[klawansie7]

gosh this is tough. fun.'s the gambler is probably my favorite song of all time, but i love all of the format's material as well. their cover of 'do you believe in magic' is also really wonderful.
i think i'll have to go with the format.
