Biggest Bands of 00's

[domotime2]

vote on the biggest (not your favorite) bands of the 00's....try and vote for 10 bands, i dont know how to allow a minimum of votes so pick bands that you think are the most popular, biggest, influential, overplayed, staples of the decade.

[NickLopez]

----

[LamarVannoy]

everyones just gonna vote for their favourite bands.

You listed way too many bands who are obviously not the right answer.
yeah, that too.

[domotime2]

You listed way too many bands who are obviously not the right answer. It's make the poll annoying to look at and allows stupid people to vote for Brand New and Paramore.
yeah I was thinking that....but when people made lists of the 90s decade, people were giving me answers like Wilco and Sunny Day real estate over nirvana....so I thought people would like to vote for stuff like that

[domotime2]

haha like Jacks Mannequin all ready got a vote. haha

[Indoor Living]

The decade's not even over yet.

[liar23]

so many horrible bands are up there

[Burn That Shit]

Ahahaha someone voted for Avenged Sevenfold.

[liar23]

2 for nickleback. seriously?

[caLLmEnOoNe]

The decade's not even over yet.
lol so true

[liar23]

coldplay has more than radiohead? fuck this

[mht]

a lot of shitty bands and none of them are the correct answer.

[Indoor Living]

coldplay has more than radiohead? fuck this


Coldplay has the most. This is bullshit.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I don't understand how some of these are even contenders.

[DilesMavis]

Eek...

[kearn1tm]

2 for nickleback. seriously?

They're no Killers.

[what_ever]

fuckin AP.

brand new has more than RHCP? seriously?

[A Love American]

Do not like this thread.

[PoisonInMyVeins]

fuckin AP.

brand new has more than RHCP? seriously?

yup, welcome to ap. people favor brand new over most real music.

i thought i saw yo la tengo on here, but then i saw everything else that was on the list and realized that that's just silly of me to think. i'm surprised death cab and the arcade fire are on it, though; i chose them.

[PoisonInMyVeins]

and btw, coldplay is tearing this poll apart. what the fuck is wrong with you people?

[Until The Bombs]

tl;dr.

[nonamesleft]

That's a huuuuuuuuuuge list.

[El_Jeffe]

i realize you're probably trying to cater for the more typical ap member (although they are gradually on the decrease in the music forum), but there's only 3, maybe 4, bands on that whole list that anyone could make some form of justified argument for

[TheOtherAndrew]

Can I vote for O.A.R. three times?

[absolutecrunk]

How are people getting in a tizzy over Coldplay? I may not enjoy their music but that hasn't stopped them from selling 40 million records worldwide. Them and Radiohead are the only bands you could honestly just drop into any household and expect any denizen to know who you're talking about.

Fall Out Boy seems to be gaining steam, but they've really only been relevant for 3/8 years max. And if there's anything I've learned from my accounting exams, it's that 3/8 just won't cut it.

exactly... coldplay has been a huge band this decade

[domotime2]

im actually impressed !!!

Coldplay, Fall out boy, radiohead, foo fighters, blink 182, green day are at the top

for the most part this is what i think... (im so dumb, i cant believe i forgot to put linkin park...haha i put 60 freakin bands and i forget linkin park, who IMO is #1)

[llwilliamsll]

Kid Rock is the 21st century.

[Apoc]

2 for nickleback. seriously?

well I don't know what you mean by that. We all know Nickelback is the best band that has ever been and its influence God willing will extend far into the 21st century

[3eb23]

artists like radiohead, coldplay, john mayer, eminem, linkin park, kayne west and jay-z come to mind.

[BJW7191]

radiohead/coldplay/daave matthews are the only acceptable answers

[fadedmemories]

Too many choices

Green Day, All American Rejects and Hoobastank? :neiner:

[PopPunkKid]

This poll probably would've been better if it was narrowed down a bit.

Not really, I know alot of people who wouldn't have a fucking clue who Radiohead are. haha

[Rodeo]

Phil Collins

[dtrzcin]

Nickelback, obviously.

[Rodeo]

In all honesty though, the real answer is *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys.

[caLLmEnOoNe]

Not really, I know alot of people who wouldn't have a fucking clue who Radiohead are. haha
me too

[caLLmEnOoNe]

In all honesty though, the real answer is *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys.
LOL

[Rodeo]

LOL


It's true though, the question is biggest.. not best.


Name a band BIGGER than *NYSNC! (circa 2000-2001) :-d

[caLLmEnOoNe]

It's true though, the question is biggest.. not best.

yeah you're right they were the biggest

[Rodeo]

yeah you're right they were the biggest


I've never seen Radiohead on a cereal box!

[caLLmEnOoNe]

I've never seen Radiohead on a cereal box!
hahaha neither have I and i'm sure there are no dolls of them either

[Rodeo]

hahaha neither have I and i'm sure there are no dolls of them either


The Thom York in-action figure with fake plastic trees playset! haha... man, that would be awesome!

[caLLmEnOoNe]

The Thom York in-action figure with fake plastic trees playset! haha... man, that would be awesome!
wouldn't it be? damn NSYNC, they get everything

[SLoT]

This poll is retarded. Too many bands not worthy of being on there.

[wesgemm08]

Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones have still been playing in the 00's.. So them.

[Rodeo]

Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones have still been playing in the 00's.. So them.


Yeah, they were around... so was Paul McCartney and and Ringo Starr. By that logic, The Beatles were one of the biggest bands of the 00's. The boss and the stones didn't sell as well in the 00's as they did previous decades.

[Maxwell]

Foo Fighters hands down.

The Beatles don't tour anymore though. Bruce Springsteen and Rolling Stones tours are still huge sellers.

[humanafterall]

Radiohead. Obviously.

[humanafterall]

exactly... coldplay has been a huge band this decade
Which is why I voted for them. I would've rather my vote gone to Arcade Fire or Bright Eyes or someone I actually like more, but like the OP said, it's not about who you like, it's about who's made more of an impact. Apparently some voters didn't realize this.

[MADSTA]

Why the fuck did you put shit stains of the music industry like Staind, Kid Rock, and Lip Bizkit on this poll?

[Foxholes]

Wow I guess people can't realize we're talking about BIGGEST bands on here. Some of those bands are really popular, we're not talking about the quality of music.

Correction made

[Posthardcore]

LOL at the people who voted Fall out boy. They weren't even a band in 2000

[emmygrey]

Why is everyone complaining about Coldplay? They're easily the biggest band of the decade. Go look at each of their records' sales.

[chipdip18]

I would say that Death Cab should get more than what, four votes?

[3eb23]

Why is everyone complaining about Coldplay? They're easily the biggest band of the decade. Go look at each of their records' sales.

seriously. to not include coldplay as one of the biggest bands of the 2000s is just ignorant. (no mj pics from south park thanks)

You sir are slightly retarded to think that Coldplay >_ My Chemical Romance.

[Rodeo]

You sir are slightly retarded to think that Coldplay >_ My Chemical Romance.



Album sales for Coldplay = over 40 million
Album sales for My Chemical Romance = 2.5 million


I think we see who the clear winner is here.


Coldplay was much bigger across the world then they were in the US.

[PopPunkKid]

Here's the ones out of this list that in my opinion actually deserve to be on there, along with explanations on why I think they do (I have way too much free time... hah)


Fall Out Boy (Like them or not, they were always at the forefront of the mainstream's perception of "emo" culture. Their albums sold in the millions at a time where that just rarely ever happened, and they've ruled everything from top 40 to modern rock radio to MTV/Fuse. Not listing them would be like not listing Bon Jovi in a biggest bands of the 80's list)

Green Day (Even if they don't release another album in this decade, let's face it: American Idiot was HUGE. 4 gigantic singles, huge record sales, sold out arenas, etc. You could not go anywhere in 2004/2005 without hearing or seeing Green Day. Like it or not, a new generation was introduced to them and I believe American Idiot may have been the biggest rock album of the entire decade)

Coldplay (This is an easy one... They absolutely belong on here. Tons of hits, millions of fans, critical respect... their prescense in this decade was inescapeable. Whether you like them or your one of those "you know how I know your gay..."? people, you can't deny how influential/important Coldplay is)

The Killers (Some may disagree with this one, but they spearheaded the whole post-punk revival movement that happened in the middle of the decade. "Hot Fuss" was a pretty huge album, and even though "Sam's Town" wasn't as big, it still had "When You Were Young" which ended up being one of their biggest hits. I think they'll be a band that sticks around into the next decade)

Muse (Easily the biggest British band of the decade right behind Coldplay. Even modern artists are already claiming to be influenced by Muse, and it's pretty easy to see why. They may have only had a few hits here in America, but just go on YouTube and watch a video of Muse playing in any other continent, and you'll see why they belong on here.)

Blink 182 (Even though they only actually released 2 albums in this decade, the peak of their fame was in 2000/2001, so I believe they should still count. I believe alot of people really began to feel their influence after they broke up, and their albums are sort of like evergreens. Their songs are still always in rotation on rock stations, kids will be discovering them and learning their songs on guitar for years and years to come, and drummers will be looking at Travis Barker as a role model probably until the end of time now. Plus, they released what is IMO their best album, 2003's "Untitled", in this decade.)

My Chemical Romance (Basically the explanation for Fall Out Boy and MCR are inter-changeable, although I think it should be noted that MCR seems to have an even more rabid, cult-like fan base than FOB. Even to this day, 2 years since they've released new material, it's still pretty much impossible to go into a mall and not see kids wearing MCR shirts, and I think that says something)

The White Stripes (What other garage rock band from early on in the decade is still as successful/well known as The White Stripes? The hype around The Strokes pretty much faded out after their first album, and same with The Hives and The Vines... but The White Stripes definetly came out on top. They made the guitar learner's anthem of the decade, "Seven Nation Army", and they helped keep blues based-rock alive in the mainstream.)

[underthetalking]

Blink 182? The only released two albums and broke up before halfway into this decade.

[3eb23]

Album sales for Coldplay = over 40 million
Album sales for My Chemical Romance = 2.5 million


I think we see who the clear winner is here.


Coldplay was much bigger across the world then they were in the US.

haha got 'em

[Rodeo]

I guess a much more reasonable # for My Chemical Romance would be around 10 million units worldwide.

Even with the generous estimate given to MCR... Coldplay has sold 4x more than them.

[Derekx]

Without a doubt, Radiohead.

[Rodeo]

Without a doubt, Radiohead.


See, that just seems ridiculous to me having the Backstreet Boys sell 120 million records during the same decade.

[lightupthesky]

Death Cab for a Cutie


i see.

[3eb23]

That guy missed Radiohead, by far the biggest band of the 00's for people who actually like music as opposed to listen to music as a distraction in their car or at work.

i like what you said here

[SanePsychotic]

Creed? Seriously?

[liar23]

well I don't know what you mean by that. We all know Nickelback is the best band that has ever been and its influence God willing will extend far into the 21st century
I hope you're being sarcastic

[liar23]

lots of stupid replies in this thread. would read them again

[liar23]

They're no Killers.
your point being?

[kearn1tm]

your point being?

My point is that it would be highly amusing to see someone who enjoys The Killers arguing with someone who listens to Nickleback, in that, really, no matter who wins, they both listen to shitty music and are extremely affected and pretentious.

-or-

Sarcasm isn't something you're well-acquainted with.

[themahon990]

the voting results seem really flawed to me. I dont get how 45 out of 79 ppl think that Fall Out Boy isn't among the top 10 bands

[Apoc]

I hope you're being sarcastic

Oh no sir I am totally opposed to the notion of sarcasm - I'm never sarcastic ever. And Nickelback is the best band ever, along with Green Day, Korn, and Disturbed. They are the best four bands of all time, and I have a shrine to them at the foot of my bed so I can start every day looking at their beautiful faces.

Yup. Not being sarcastic at all.

[Derekx]

See, that just seems ridiculous to me having the Backstreet Boys sell 120 million records during the same decade.

And where are the Backstreet Boys now?

I'm pretty sure Radiohead helped change the music industry.

[domotime2]

so far.... the top 10 vote getters are
-Coldplay
-Radiohead
-Fall out Boy
-Blink 182
-Green Day
-Red Hot Chilli Peppers
-Foo Fighters
-Weezer

and with my stupidity for not putting linkin park ont he list.....linkin park i assume would round out the top 10.

so many of these bands were major staples of the 90s as well....Fallout boy, coldplay, linkin park, and my chem are the only bands that id consider 00's bands....interesante

[Rodeo]

And where are the Backstreet Boys now?

I'm pretty sure Radiohead helped change the music industry.


I don't think the question specified "bands with the most staying power".

To not think that the Backstreet Boys were one of the biggest bands of the 00's is literally retarded.

[absolutecrunk]

lots of stupid replies in this thread. would read them again

You have a point, but I think most people got the impression that the thread was more about biggest rock bands, not bubblegum pop acts/boybands.

[domotime2]

Worst. Thread. Ever.
really? haha i thought this thread was pretty normal for a music forum. Best bands of the decade? no? not your cup of tea?

[liar23]

The Killers still suck.
:rolleyes:whatever

Yep.

[Mskillet90]

Linkin Park, Underoath, Lifehouse...


..where are they...?

[IWasaCamera]

Because Underoath outsells Coldplay.

[onemoresong]

fuck! this is overkill brah! limit the list

[Apoc]

We need some clarification here.

Is this about the literal biggest bands? Who sold the most? We can wikipedia that shit right now. Although it would be pretty annoying to compare record sales of 60 different bands...

Or is this supposed to be about the most influential bands? The ones whose sound changed the direction of mainstream music at the time completely?

Or is this about the best bands? The bands who simply made the best music in the decade, whatever that means?

Fail by ambiguity

[SubrosaSeductiv]

Album sales for Coldplay = over 40 million
