this one is a challenge, but i voted for The Dresden Dolls.

(i know i missed Hotel California,
but i purposely didn't put Californication on here, because the RHCP are overrated)

hotel california.
So these two along with California Girls are probably the three best known songs to feature California and you forgot them all.:hitself:


damnit damnit damnit!
For me it would be the Hi Standard version of California Dreaming.

California Sun is by the Rivieras, the Ramones just covered it. the original is much better

Meh, I don't think Phantom Planet should win this one, but don't hate just because it gained its popularity through the O.C. - it's a pretty catchy tune and well written for sure.

"California" is one of Phantom Planet's worst songs. They're a pretty good band otherwise.

Wez1212Yes

How the hell does the Jack's Mannequin B-side have more votes than the Copeland track? The Jack's song is good, but come on...

Aah yes but have you ever listened to Nobody Weird Like Me or Funky Monks which are awesome songs.

California Love continues to be the only rap song that will make everyone stop what they're doing and unashamedly rap along with it.

The copeland california song is brilliant. had to go with it, one of my favorite songs all time.

xsinkshipsx
08/20/08, 08:44 AM
it was between copeland and phantom planet for me.....and I went with copeland but I still maintain that even though that song got bastarized by the OC before it was on that show it was amazing and if listened to under the context of not that show then its amazing


but copeland still wins

08/20/08, 08:53 AM
This is an awesome poll.

I went with Copeland. Easily my favorite song by them.

Jeremy Aaron
08/20/08, 10:05 AM
This was a toss-up between the Decemberists and Led Zep. In the end, I had to go with California One. Castaways and Cutouts was their best album. Awesome.

I like the one by Phanton Planet. Doesn't really surprise me that it's first. Probably didn't hurt that the OC adopted it

The fact that Phantom Planet are winning is appalling.

keep in mind this is a poll about ONE SONG... and Phantom Planet's offering here is a GREAT song. They may not have written many (if any) other great songs, but this one is GREAT. Just because it's pop doesn't mean its not awesome.

Still, can't beat Pac.
