Best old Drive Thru band

[fadedmemories]

Best band on Drive Thru records from 2000-2003

[thiswokendream]

Good poll. I love NFG to death but Finch was the hype during that time.

You should have had the Fenix T to the X.

[fadedmemories]

Fenix was never as good or as influential as the bands in the poll.

[jtjt43]

NFG all the way

[recall reality]

Rx Bandits, mostly because The Resignation in '03. Easily the best musically, anyway.

[tragedyco]

i used to love Finch's first album.

[MattRM]

NFG, closely followed by TSL.

[MattRM]

Oh, and what about Something Corporate?

[tonyC4L]

This is a tough one.

[thiswokendream]

Fenix was never as good or as influential as the bands in the poll.

Well ok, but your poll doesn't say most influential. :-p

I'm just playin. But if I wasn't clear I voted for Finch.

[voncorn]

The Movielife would be my personal favorite.

[thiswokendream]

The Movielife would be my personal favorite.

The Movielife has a gambling problem was awesome! I haven't listened to that in ages. It's about to hit the CD player as we speak.

[ohheroine]

i like all of those bands, but i voted TSL. That drive thru era was the best.

[hipvee43]

this was drive thru prime. and yeah u forgot to mention some favorites like ten, and soco. hipv also, and senses aaahhh. used to be such a sick label. i miss those days.

[hipvee43]

whose on drive thru now??? ahahaha like the only thing they have is ace enders which is kinda shit now. and what? steel shit?

[phoenixinflames]

NFG with the movielife right behind.

[phoenixinflames]

and...this type of poll should exist for vagrant records too.

[11:11]

I'm supremely disappointed that you left out Something Corporate.

[AussieBoy]

NFG but a country mile, startling line 2nd

midtown like em but overrated to the max!

finch... pioneers! seein em in feb!

[just.Starla.]

Midtown followed by TSL.

[silentstar1134]

The Early Novermber all the way...but in the case of your poll than The Starting Line

[Heart-A-Tact]

Say It Like You Mean It makes me nostalgic as fuck.

[silentstar1134]

Say It Like You Mean It makes me nostalgic as fuck.

fuck yes

[justletgo]

My favorite would be The Movielife.
All good bands though.

[1.8Nate]

whose on drive thru now??? ahahaha like the only thing they have is ace enders which is kinda shit now. and what? steel shit?

Steel Shit? Steel Train is amazing. They've been on Drive-Thru for a very long time now too.

[TSLROCKS]

Guess it's pretty self explanatory who I voted for. NFG is a close second though

[hf57]

nfg. although its hard to decide what releases from some of these bands really count as drive thru releases because of the whole geffen records thing.

[bailmeout13]

New Found Glory, for me.

[TSLROCKS]

nfg. although its hard to decide what releases from some of these bands really count as drive thru releases because of the whole geffen records thing.

That's actually a good point. I'd take NFG over SILYMI era TSL but not over BOATS

[domotime2]

i hate to be an asshole....

but no Something Corporate, Homegrown, RX Bandits on this list? I wouldve voted for rx bandits honestly....as the drive-thru years were the best (IN MY OPINION)...

but i thought this site loved to suck jacks mannequin cock...which means, sucking soco's cock. idk maybei imw rong.

[fadedmemories]

Sorry dudes, it was totally unintentional.

lol wut?

[dpetty21]

NFG because they're my favorite band. Midtown and TSL are up there though. I honestly never knew there were many Finch fans out there. I bought What It Is To Burn and was not impressed at all and gave it away. I tried to listen to them a few months ago for the first time in years and it was still no good.

[tjb4233]

really really torn on this one...i went with TSL cause SILYMI is just sooo good...but NFG is essentially tied with TSL for me

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Really, really hard. Went with New Found Glory since they're the ones I've listened to first.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Steel Shit? Steel Train is amazing. They've been on Drive-Thru for a very long time now too.

They sure are awesome. Hopefully they don't get fucked with the current Drive Thru drama and are able to release their new album as planned. They need to find a new label soon. I think Vagrant would be a good fit.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

whose on drive thru now??? ahahaha like the only thing they have is ace enders which is kinda shit now. and what? steel shit?

Didn't you mean the have the extra super mad good band known as Steel Train?

[lauren<3s music]

midtown if we're talking fwyk if not then maybe nfg

[1.8Nate]

midtown if we're talking fwyk if not then maybe nfg

What? FWYK had nothing on their previous two.

[m_rue]

Tsl x100000000. I also absolutely love Something Corporate.

[EastCoastLights]

tough choice

[fadedmemories]

Anyone else thinks that FWYK = LWITBR?

[1.8Nate]

Anyone else thinks that FWYK = LWITBR?

STWLTG > LWITBR > FWYK

[skellorock]

concerning nfg,at this point, as much as it pains me, i'd rather of dtr as the label that once had the honor of being the home of the great nfg, instead of nfg being best old school drive thru band, dtr is but a footnote in their history now, of course they had a little reunion, but come on, dtr blew their big chance at getting back a big part of what made them a great label several years back.

so concerning the other ones left, I'll have to go with Finch they're the red-headed step child of the bunch, I mean Midtown was awsome, but I'm gonna go w/Finch, I also think RX Bandits shoulda been included, and maybe FenixTX simply cause they were the first to get any mainstream attention, so they put em on the map

oh and for anyone who loved Jenoah, I'd think y'all agree that they were the best in the "dtr bands w/promise that fell off the face of the earth rather quickly" catagory

[zubinmoosa]

Wow, this is really though...

I chose NFG, with TSL and Midtown close seconds.

[zubinmoosa]

Anyone else thinks that FWYK = LWITBR?
I liked FWYK just as much as LWIYBR. Some great songs on there.

[amber3]

Nfg

[fadedmemories]

STWLTG > LWITBR > FWYK
STWLTG had some of their best songs, but it's my leat favorite.
I liked FWYK just as much as LWIYBR. Some great songs on there.
High five!

[owiseone35]

New found Glory.

[TheHays]

no love for the early november? the best band ever on drive-thru? for this, i voted for my second favorite, the starting line. i don't know how many times i played SILYMI back in the day.

[mittensss]

The Movielife, hands down. I miss those years ;_;

[:-)]

I miss TSL the most. :-(

[BJW7191]

midtown... only band on there i like

[ellenfg.]

i chose nfg.
but it was hardl i love them all (':

[batmannj]

its hard to beat NFG in this one.

[pleasedontpanic]

I don't know why people keep on bringing up Forget What You Know. It wasn't even released on drive-thru. I chose NFG, but Midtown's "Living Well Is the Best Revenge" is definitely a fave, so they come in second.

[billyboatkid]

That one was super hard. But I went with Finch. One of my first loves.

[notoaststereo]

the movielife.

[TheBestBet]

whose on drive thru now??? ahahaha like the only thing they have is ace enders which is kinda shit now. and what? steel shit?

Your an idiot.
Steel Train is incredible by the way.

[blinkme]

the starting line and new found glory are two of my favourite bands of all time. TSL wins though. their lyrics are superior to NFG's. i'll love both of these bands when i'm old and grey.

[fadedmemories]

I'm thinking about making a sequel to this thread. Obviously, I fucked up and forgot about SoCo, so I want some suggestions on which bands should be on my next poll. They're in as long as they fit the criteria of a) Good band and b) on Drive Thru during 2000-2003.

Should I really include Senses Fail?

[recall reality]

Should I really include Senses Fail?

I'd add Rx Bandits, Something Corporate and Allister... perhaps Steel Train, The Early November and Homegrown...

If you're sticking to that timeline, might as well, right?

I don't really remember who was on it, but the bands on the DTR Warped Tour Stage in '02 would work. Seems about the time it was at its height.

[werealldudes19]

nfg yo

[I am Mick]

The Starting line, closely followed by NFG

[xSpillFiction]

Midtown > NFG > TSL > Movielife > Finch

I adore all five, but that is my order.

And since everyone was putting the Midtown full lengths in order, here's mine:

Living Well > FWYK > Saves The World although it was incredibly hard to put FWYK and STWLTG in order.

[SeanEBoy2686]

NFG... missing SoCo though

[Oddpac87]

Insanely hard choice, but I went with Midtown.

[Fatwreck]

Fenix TX

[Startinglinekid]

Say It Like You Mean It makes me nostalgic as fuck.

yes sir

[Bikescene23]

rx bandits dude! but tsl too..

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

dont care for any, but i used to love NFG when i was like 12, so i chose them.

[jgord88]

Damn this is too hard. New Found Glory is still kicking major ass but I do love The Movielife and would like to see them back. Both of those bands got me into good music when I was in middle school.
