catchiest song of all time period?

[stealthpeng]

For me, it was All-American Reject's "Move Along" I remember when they debuted it on their website to absolutely no fanfare, I literally listened to it 10 times in a row... I haven't done that with any song since.

[dancelukedance]

Speaking of all american rejects, that "gives you hell" song is so fucken catchy! i like it

[stealthpeng]

I'll probably pick up their new album eventually... because yes, it is catchy!

Although, their self-titled debt holds a special place in my heart. It's their best album imo (and I'm not usually one to say that about debuts!)

[xJesusFreakx]

Zao - Parade of Chaos

That album is much catchier than anything by AAR, and it's a metalcore album.

[Rodeo]

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night album.
The Kinks - Well Respected Kinks album.
The Beach Boys - Endless Summer best-of album.

[stealthpeng]

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night album.

Have you listened to Brian Wilson's new album? it's hella catchy

[xJesusFreakx]

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night album.
The Kinks - Well Respected Kinks album.
The Beach Boys - Endless Summer best-of album.

I'm not very familiar with the Kinks, but I wholeheartedly agree with both the Beatles and the Beach Boys.

you should definitely check the Kink's out! I only have one of their albums, but, if you like the Beatles and the Beachboys, I don't think you could go wrong with one of their albums :)

totallllly agreeeed.




Another contender would be The Who - "I Can See for Miles"

[IWasaCamera]

All-American Rejects, really?

[xJesusFreakx]

All-American Rejects, really?

That's what I was thinking... At least the Beach Boys and the Beatles have come up since then. Definite step up. Like I said before, I think Zao's Parade of Chaos is catchier than anything in AAR's song catalogue.

Where Blood & Fire Bring Rest > Parade of Chaos.


Any day ever.

[xJesusFreakx]

Where Blood & Fire Bring Rest > Parade of Chaos.


Any day ever.

I don't disagree, but there is a certain catchiness to Parade of Chaos. I mean, the title track has no clean vocals, and I still find myself singing it in my head after listening to the song.

[kearn1tm]

Call On Me by Eric Prydz

and the video is sweet:

L_fCqg92qks

[Kaleidoscope]

anything played at a sweet 16.

[kearn1tm]

I have this hypothesis that I'm trying to prove: only fat people like All American Rejects. Think about it. Mull it over. Let it digest.

[kianacarly]

I could never choose the catchiest song of all time, but I do know that there's no way in hell it's the All American Rejects.

[kearn1tm]

I could never choose the catchiest song of all time, but I do know that there's no way in hell it's the All American Rejects.

Are you overweight?

[Someone'sCoat]

I could never choose the catchiest song of all time, but I do know that there's no way in hell it's the All American Rejects.
This...

But anything from the 80's is 10 times catchier than AAR. For example, Love is a Battlefield- Pat Benatar. Everyone does the shoulder shake. Don't lie.

[Someone'sCoat]

Are you overweight?
I am not overweight. Does that help your hypothesis?

[kianacarly]

Are you overweight?

I'm 5'3" and 108 pounds, so I'd say no :shrug:

[GuitarR0cker1]

I have this hypothesis that I'm trying to prove: only fat people like All American Rejects. Think about it. Mull it over. Let it digest.
I think your hypothesis is false, only middle schoolers and fat people like the All-American Rejects.

[xJesusFreakx]

I think your hypothesis is false, only middle schoolers and fat people like the All-American Rejects.

I like this more. Simply fat people is too narrow a group of people; middle schoolers are necessary, in my opinion, for a more realistic hypothesis. Now to develop a good experiment to test this out.

[kianacarly]

I honestly think I might be the only who one thinks Gives You Hell isn't catchy at all. I thought it was pretty bland the first time I heard it.

[kearn1tm]

I'm 5'3" and 108 pounds, so I'd say no :shrug:

So you're slim and you don't like All American Rejects. Interesting.

I think your hypothesis is false, only middle schoolers and fat people like the All-American Rejects.

Today, while in the midst of a seemingly unending wait at the bank, a fat person in front of me was blaring that "Swing" song from his iPod earbuds. Based solely on the one instance in which I witnessed an overweight person listening to All American Rejects, I think it's more than evident that only fat people like this band. It's an airtight scientific fact at this point. If you disagree, it's because you're fat.

[Someone'sCoat]

I honestly think I might be the only who one thinks Gives You Hell isn't catchy at all. I thought it was pretty bland the first time I heard it.
Nah I back you up on that. Maybe I'm immune to catchiness?

[kearn1tm]

I honestly think I might be the only who one thinks Gives You Hell isn't catchy at all. I thought it was pretty bland the first time I heard it.

You do realize that many people don't find insipid and soulless mainstream pop rock songs particularly "catchy," right?

[kearn1tm]

Nah I back you up on that. Maybe I'm immune to catchiness?

You're a liar. It's clear she's the only one who doesn't find it catchy. C'mon!

[kearn1tm]

Middle school kids can be fat. Crossover!

Eff....I'm sorry. Lying is a habit.

Now that you mention it, I used to like AAR in middle school and I was a bit chubbier. Hmmm.

You do realize that many people don't find insipid and soulless mainstream pop rock songs particularly "catchy," right?

I do realize this, but unfortunately every time I talk to someone and that song plays, it seems as if everyone is in love with it.

Either that or those who will be fat listen to the All-American Rejects. It is like a genetic code, if you listen to them you will become obese in the future.

[Magic 8 Ball]

I think Let Her Go by Less Than Jake is one of the catchiest songs ever.

I suggest we carry out a study to find the correlation between someone's body fat percentage and times that person listens to AAR, perhaps over the period of a month.

So you're the guy who, upon walking into work during absolutely horrendous weather, to which your co-worker greets you with a humorous comment to the effect of "so, that's some great weather we're having, huh?" you tilt your head, glare at him and indignantly say "it's really shitty out. Why would you say that? Are you stupid?"

I'm also going to go out on a limb here and say you hate fun, sunshine, dancing, Subway club cards, children's smiles and love on a spring day.

[kearn1tm]

In general, the Beatles are better than The Kinks, but I find myself gravitating towards and enjoying the Kinks more as well.

EDIT - Admittedly, I'm the first to recognize and appreciate the profound impact The Beatles had on Pop Music, but I've never been partial to their music (though I love Harrison and Lennon's solo work)

[IWasaCamera]

From 66 to 71, The Kinks were great but nothing they released does as much for me as Abbey Road or Revolver. I would take quite a few Kinks albums over Sgt. Pepper's and The White Album though.

[Firefly1628]

everytime i hear "girls" by the beastie boys its in my head forever!

[xJesusFreakx]

The Beastie Boys definitely write some pretty catchy songs.

[kearn1tm]

The Kinks were previously mentioned, and I cannot deny just how catchy Party Line (off my favorite Kinks album Face to Face) is. It hits me at the most arbitrary times throughout a day, but it makes any activity I'm engaging in infinitely better by having the song run through my mind.

[stealthpeng]

catchy is completely subjective, and I was stating the last song that really "did" it for me as far as catchy goes.... :P

and I promise, I've never been fat in my life!.... or a middle schooler <_<

I don't know if its been said before, but I think "All star" by Smash mouth was pretty catchy, and over over played.
