Which label is a bigger joke?

[FueledByFrodo]

So in the The Years Gone By Official Thread, someone said Fearless Records is better than FBR. Opinions?

[LongDistanceDrunk]

I think Rise Records trumps all for worst record label. Of these two I'd choose Fearless. They have no good band and imoo have only ever had two good bands ATDI and Portugal the Man.

[Enriquejavier90]

I'm sorry but a label with FOB, Panic at The Disco, Paramore, Phantom Planet and more can't be a joke....

[Undue Noise]

Fearless.

[jay_klinkhammer]

Rise has a few good bands in Emarosa and Attack Attack.


Enrique answered the question.


FBR is worse

this, but only in a sarcastic way.

Attack Attack is a GOOD band? I hope you're high right now. Rise is a joke except for The Years Gone By. And FBR is so much better than Fearless. TTTYG, The Underdog EP, All We Know Is Falling, and Almost Here are all bad albums?

[pleasedontpanic]

I'd have to say that Fearless Records is the bigger joke. Even though it has had more bands that I enjoy (Gatsby's, Anatomy of a Ghost), it seems like a graveyard for bands. At least at FBR their bands are successful for the most part.

You forgot the biggest joke: Victory.

[ElevenElm]

You forgot the biggest joke: Victory.
although victory has some incredibly shitty bands, they have had some really great bands over the years. if this was over the way the label was managed, though, victory would win hands down.

I apologize for the limited choices. I was having an argument over these two specifically with someone. Should I delete and start a new poll with four choices?

No your fine but for future polls the almighty "other" is always a good to have

i know they've had a lot of great bands, a lot that i personally enjoy. but they're a shitty label for the way they treat bands and how they run things.

[mapster]

Sadly i know alot of people that hate the bands on fuled by ramen..but i luv the bands on it..fearless records has some pretty good bands on it..but i'd go with fuled by ramen..just cause a few of my fave bands are on that label

[PenThrive]

Fearless because I have only listened to one band on their roster.

[FueledByFrodo]

Damn '"other."

[batmannj]

I dont really like any of the bands on fearless, although I would say Alesana is a guilty pleasure......(hides head in shame)

[WhoSaidThat?]

Fearless. No questions asked.

[fadedmemories]

Rise and Victory are tied for biggest joke of all.

Neither FBR or Fearless could be considered a joke, but since Fearless signed Alesana and A Skylit Drive, I prefer FBR.

[m_rue]

Fearless has just become a watered down version of FBR. They both used to have some good bands back in the day.

[actionpat]

the unstoppable force meets the immovable object.

[jjjkman]

i like both of these lables....... =\

[FueledByFrodo]

the unstoppable force meets the immovable object.
Madden?

[circatbs]

Fearless has 2 good bands on it, and FBR has 2 also..but I'm gonna have to go with Fearless because of The Maine.

[11:11]

Anyone who votes FBR has no idea what they're talking about.

[carnotaurhunter]

Both, but Fearless is worse because of their Punk Goes... series. At least FBR has/had some good bands (thanks for the new Lifetime).

[fadedmemories]

Lifetime isn't on FBR anymore.

[jong44]

damn i just looked at Fearless' roster and i have to say...why the hell is Sugarcult on there? have they always been on there?

[FueledByFrodo]

Anyone who votes FBR has no idea what they're talking about.
FBR only has a few bad bands.

Lifetime isn't on FBR anymore.
That's because they really aren't making any more music. Dan is focusing on Paint it Black.

[fadedmemories]

THIS.
They're from Jersey. REPRESENT! Lol. Never listened. RIYL?

I agree with this, I would add Gatsby's though.

Love the avatar too.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Your right I forgot about them. While I don't really like them and prefer Kay Kay, I'm well aware they are good. I usually change my avatar pretty frequently but I'm gonna have to keep my current once since I am constantly complimented on it.

[altemose09]

fearless no doubt

[fadedmemories]

I still think their dead even.

[skellorock]

Fearless, I mean they've only had one truely successful act in PWT's, and they probably sell more Punk Goes comps than they're bands albums, and they definatly promote those more, they don't promote their artists worth crap and its sad. It used to be a good label back in the day, but it just sucks now.

FBR no matter what you think about their artists, they've paid their dues and the fact that they've arrived is cool with me, at least they do alot to promote their artists.

[Indoor Living]

i like both of these lables....... =\

Eh. Probably a bad thing to say on here.

[josiahh]

Fearless is the bigger joke thanks to the "Punk goes..." series.

they started off great the metal and the first acoustic were both great, but come on, give it up already, because the rest is pure fucking garbage.

[Chancetobe]

FBR is makin' money :shrug: Can't really be a joke when your raking it in.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

Well at the end of the day both labels have more then any of us. So who's really laughing?

But yeah, I voted Fueled By Ramen. When I see their name, I just think "irrelevant neon band t-shirt".

yeah, pretty much this.

if i had to list my 10 least favorite bands ever, 4 or 5 of them would be fbr bands.

Madden?

haha no andre the giant vs hulk hogan. eff madden.

[FueledByFrodo]

Lol

[owiseone35]

I chose fearless. I respect Fall Out Boy and Paramore. The only band on Fearless I respect is Eye Alaska, I don't know why but I really like them.

[KyleMcr]

Fearless

[theripped0ne]

what????

does anyone remember lil ol fearless when they put out 'In Casino Out' by a lil band from Texas named At the Drive In????

no??? dont remember that????

i know their roster is not what it used to be, but come on, can we please stop supporting pete wentz, guy-liner, and dudes with chicks hair???!? please please pleaseeee stop the insanity. people thought hair metal was the shit in its day. now its looked back as a complete joke. remind you of something??? hmmmm hans brixx???

[sargentlgfuad]

FBR, in my opinion, goes from really great bands (i.e. Panic at the Disco, The Academy Is..., Forgive Durden, This Providence, The Hush Sounds, Paramore, and now VersaEmerge (also The Cab, even though i'm aware of the hate they receive)) to a few mediocre and a few shitty bands.
Fearless goes from a very few amount of mediocre bands, to a huge roster load of shit bands.

[billyboatkid]

Fbr for sure. So many bands I can't stand.

[fadedmemories]

FBR discography from the early 00's is easily one of the best by a single label.

It currently has nothing. Since ATDR in left its only had two good bands Portugal the Man and Gatsby's. While I dislike Pete Wentz and his silliness FBR has more good bands than bad. . The Academy is, Hush Sound, new PATD, Paramore and the Cab are all pretty good. They are the new Drive Thru

They also had ATDR before they moved to a major. Like it or not they have The Maine which are getting very popular
