Best Band to Come the Greatest State (NJ)

[domotime2]

originally I was going to include the pride and joys of NJ... Bruce, Bon Jovi, Frank Sinatra. But i decided to not include them and focus more on modern bands, since come on Frank Sinatra is the greatest thing to come out of NJ since electricity. Also, I omitted such classics as Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, and Fountins of Wayne.

-Early November
- Regina Spektor
- Saves the Day
- Bouncing Souls
- Armor for Sleep
- My Chemical Romance
- Senses Fail
- Catch 22/Streetlight Manifesto
- Misfists
- Bouncing Souls
- Lifetime
- Yo La Tengo
- Thursday

[MADSTA]

Regina Spektor!!

[superichie]

tough one. but STD got my vote.

[nevernevernever]

midtown.

[more heart]

How dare you not include Midtown

Edit: The Jo Bros are from NJ?

[MarkL]

JO BROS FOSHO



sikeeee

[11:11]

I hear a lot about Lifetime, but I've never heard them.

[just.Starla.]

lol at JoBros

I love Regina, but I went other- Midtown

[Machu505]

Thursday.

[PenThrive]

Hmm...this is a tough one.

[domotime2]

so i forgot midtown....

Jonas Brothers are from my town... REPRESENT

[dpetty21]

STD was neck and neck with TEN but STD got my vote. Both have two of my favorite front men.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Where the fuck is Gaslight Anthem?

[Nobodyhearsyou]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAH

New Jersey is the worst state EVER. There are 49 states and one giant shit-hole. It smells like trash everywhere, people suck there, you cant pump your own gas, the beach is the biggest piece of shit ever, and they have a shitty hockey team.

Wow.

[gusta0117]

Midtown

[IanIsSuperRad]

Fuck the fact that Lifetime is not winning this. Almost every band on this list (save for the Misfits and the Souls) owe part of their existance to Lifetime.

[domotime2]

Where the fuck is Gaslight Anthem?
lets stick to bands that have been around for more than 3 years okay?

[fadedmemories]

Saves The Day > Thursday, though I like both. Stay What You Are and Through Being Cool just happens to be some of my favorite records.

[ElevenElm]

The Bouncing Souls definitely definitely definitely.

[plain white t's]

Bouncing Souls easily, followed by Catch 22/SL Manifesto and Lifetime

[BlinkxExists21]

i sincerely hope the people who chose the jonas brothers were joking.

early november all the way.

[mycuban]

i went with STD because everything they've done i love, thursday was a close second though.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

lets stick to bands that have been around for more than 3 years okay?
So what that doesn't matter.Look at what they have accomplished in that time. They are a really talented band and will be around for a long time. Way better than shitty Senses Fail. The Jonas Brothers are better than Senses Fail

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Thursday followed by Saves the Day and Gaslight Anthem

[screamoutmyname]

saves the day/hipv

[TheHoldSteady]

Saves the Day, although I love Bouncing Souls too.

[contentw/losing]

being born and raised in new jersey..i grew up on early november...gotta stick with them..but there was nothing much more pleasurable about being at hidden in plain views last show at the School of Rock in north jersey :)

[domotime2]

So what that doesn't matter.Look at what they have accomplished in that time. They are a really talented band and will be around for a long time. Way better than shitty Senses Fail. The Jonas Brothers are better than Senses Fail
yeah but exactly...you're not going to pick them over thursday.


and im dissapointed that early november is beating lifetime, misfits and bouncing souls

[George-Michael]

Tough choice between Thursday and Saves the Day. A lot of love for Lifetime, also.

[johnq1119]

I voted for Thursday because of how crazy i've been for them lately, but Lifetime and the Souls should be getting more votes k thx.

[Kaleidoscope]

thursday by a hair over std.

both great to see live.

jonas brothersss. no.

[fadedmemories]

I'm curious as to why the Jonas Brothers are in this poll.

[erinfxs]

I would have said Midtown had I not went with instinct and said Regina Spektor.

[hcky0819]

The Early November For Life <3

[quo.vadis]

Thursday. Armor for Sleep's What to Do When You Are Dead is amazing, but their other albums don't add up.

[Bostancic25]

TEN, simple.

[jbergamotto]

I would have to say Folly but for all intents and purposes, I chose Thursday for the poll's sake.

[jbergamotto]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAH

Wow.

And New Jersey hates you too :-)

[jawstheme]

Saves the Day barely edged out Thursday for me

[TCat71]

I'm gonna have to say Lifetime. Such an influential band.

[Machu505]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAH

Wow.

It's not like Maryland is any better.

Okay maybe Maryland is better, but only by a little bit.

[fistinthesky]

midtown.

[AussieBoy]

i voted the Chems

[SuNDaYSTaR]

Jeudi.

[sirensongofra]

The Gaslight Anthem

[brokenhats]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAH

Wow.

new jersey would literally shank maryland with a shiv

[I am Mick]

Stay What You Are, album of LIFE

[dru]

std

[kevinrocks409]

saves the day followed by thursday, lifetime, gaslight anthem and of last but most definitely not least...FOLLY!

[JLGSayAnything]

Jet Lag Gemini.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

At first I didn't see Misfits and was disappointed, but I'm glad I found 'em. Easy choice. I'm just sad I was the first to vote for them and they're in last.

[SmileOfHavok]

Misfits...when Danzig fronted them.

[RiCCioLi]

Midtown.

[fantasma]

What about BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE MOTHER FUCKING E STREET BAND!?

[domotime2]

What about BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND THE MOTHER FUCKING E STREET BAND!?
haha I stated in the beginning of this that im omitting Bruce, Bon Jovi and Frank Sinatra.

[domotime2]

At first I didn't see Misfits and was disappointed, but I'm glad I found 'em. Easy choice. I'm just sad I was the first to vote for them and they're in last.
and yes Misfits, lifetime, bouncing souls are not getting the love on this punk website.

[Co and Ca]

Saves the Day. they are my all time favorite band ever in the world and universe for life.

[notoaststereo]

bruce stringsteen and if i cant choose him then the gaslight anthem.

and new jersey is far from being a great state. it certainly isnt the greatest.

[eleven eleven]

gaslight anthem

[eleven eleven]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAH

Wow.


you are from maryland, D.C.'s ugly t-shirt.


so shut up.

[J Me]

"Heart is on the floor..."

[phil19]

i went with other - skid row. im pretty sure they were from jersey.

[TheZeroKid]

Streetlight Manifesto, followed by My Chemical Romance and Thursday

What happened to The Gaslight Anthem, huh?

[TheWeakest]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAH

Wow.

haha idk why but i just feel like supporting you. hahaha it just made me laugh. i live 30 seconds from the border, jersey's terrible, but did produce some awesome bands. TEN being my favorite.

[KingJohn_654]

yay std

[buddyhenika]

it was a tough choice i almost had to go with the jo bros

[SeanEBoy2686]

midtown and the gaslight anthem

since they were excluded from the list i went with jonas brothers

[Fangsup!55]

I picked other and went with Midtown.

[pearlvana]

definetly the gaslight anthem and the misfits. Streetlight manifesto are really fun live

[futilespider]

saves the day, my chem, senses fail, Catch 22/Streetlight Manifesto

[batmannj]

I like Thursday of the ones listed.

[DainDown]

its funny, i've never seen hatred for another state like i've seen hatred for jersey.

but a jersey boys love for his state will never, ever be beat anywhere, ever.

and think back to Drive Thru's heyday when half their roster came from jersey, so much so, I'm pretty sure they opened an office somewhere here.

and if i remember correctly, in the early 00's baltimore lead the country for like three years in stabbing deaths...

id take the so called smell of garbage of dieing painfully from a stab wound.

also, maybe I am mistaking, but isn't Armor for sleep from Long Island?

i would have voted for them had i not thought about my last statment.

also, I understand why Gaslight wasn't put on this survey, let them put out one more album, and then i would most likely pic them.

[domotime2]

Saves the Day, Thursday, Catch 22, Bouncing Souls are the uppitamy (spell check for me) of NJ. Im dissapointed that catch and bouncing are failing.

just because they only put out 2 albums doesn't mean anything. The sex pistols only put out 1 album and their legendary. Gaslight's 2 albums beats out most of those bands.

[Brett3]

I easily went with Saves The Day.

[AsktheElevator]

i was worried that shitty MCR would be winning this. this should def be a battle between thursday and saves the day (my vote)

[tinylilnative]

If any of those artists could do what the Jonas Brothers do at 16 years old, they deserve my vote.

Do you remember what you were like when you were sixteen? They actually play instruments and perform in front of 20,000 people on a regular basis. I don't care who writes the songs, you can't deny they're talented kids.

[Jeremy Aaron]

Other. The Gaslight Anthem.

[kelsisprettyodd]

midtown =]

[MontanaFromNY]

it was a tos up between lifetime and saves the day, but i had to go with lifetime

[foisol]

Saves The Day of course

[jmartino]

No Gaslight Anthem?

[domotime2]

see im still confused of why people are so aggrivated that there's no gaslight anthem on this poll? Like, I understand that they're a pretty good band, but I just find it odd that fans of that band wouldnt be fans of any other band on this poll. You have bands of all genres and spectrums on this list, so to me that leads me to believe that you must be a fan of one of these bands, no? Gaslight anthem fans arent also fans of bouncing souls or lifetime or thursday? Im confused.

[actionpat]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAAAAAHAHAH

Wow.

well we know how you'll vote in the forthcoming least favorite state pole.

[jgord88]

Misfits cause without them most of those bands wouldn't even exist.

[billyboatkid]

Between The Early November and Saves the Day for me..

But went with TEN

[deadwrong188]

ah nj really does have the best bands. but thursday got my vote.
