[Anton Djamoos]

Who is your favorite band out of these two? Be sure to read the replies for other users' cases for each band.

[x1onexwo1fx]

yay for 100th post?

i don't listen to lydia...

[cuzimlefthanded]

thought lydia would blow mae out of the water...weird.

[Broclee]

thought lydia would blow mae out of the water...weird.

It's only been like 7 votes...

[jusscali]

Real tough one for me

[zubinmoosa]

I can't get into Lydia, no matter how hard I try.

[Drew Beringer]

Lydia will destroy this.

[zeropunk16]

Lydia all the way.

[unnameworthy]

After seeing two awful Mae shows and being blown away by Illuminate, I have to go with Lydia.

[roju]

lydia. i haven't been able to get into mae

[Iwudstilldie4u]

Mae has range. I vote them.

[irthesteve]

ewwwww, vote no on Lydia! Most unworthy hype band of AP history fo shizzy.

Destination Beautiful>Destination B-Sides>Everglow>Illuminate>Singularity>This December

and for the record, both of Mae's new songs have been top notch, it's comeback time!

[bailmeout13]

Lydia.

[anamericangod]

Lydia!

[taylerx0]

Lydia by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Lydia, Mae can't even compare.

[bluecrunchy]

Seriously? Lydia is actually more boring than Mae. Plus, Mae has put out 2 very good albums.

[HometownHero]

I can't get into Lydia, no matter how hard I try.
How is that possible

[katieissweet]

This was the second toughest one for me. I picked Mae even though Lydia will probably win.

[OveriseFan]

Bringing Mae back to a tie.

[zubinmoosa]

How is that possible
I don't know. I've heard so many good things about them, but even Illuminate, couldn't get into it :shrug:

[Imperfektion]

Tough one, but I voted Mae.

[bouttogetfancy]

hopefully lydia pulls through on this one!

[juliaisnotcool]

Even though Illuminate was my 2008 AOTY, I had to vote for Mae for nostalgic reasons. Also, they've put out 2 albums I've loved as opposed to Lydia's one.

And I just realized I have a Lydia avatar, ha.

[PunkDrums182]

Lydia will destroy this.
Seemingly not, but I would have thought so too..

Although I enjoy mae, Lydia made a certain connection with me. Illuminate was one of my AOTY's of 08. Great cd, so beautiful.

[irthesteve]

This one is so close, Go Mae!!! Go Mae!!!

[fadedmemories]

Lydia. Illuminate>everything Mae has done

[HometownHero]

I don't know. I've heard so many good things about them, but even Illuminate, couldn't get into it :shrug:
What about his flawless voice? Lush instrumentation? Amazing live show? Emotion? Mindymmmmmmwhitemmmmm? Amazing lyrics?

[fromoc2dc]

Lydia. No question.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Lydia. They've yet to disappoint me.

[zeropunk16]

Mindymmmmmmwhitemmmmm?

I think it should be a rule that anytime you mention Mindy on this site, you use this phrasing.

[Fury15]

I can't get into Lydia, no matter how hard I try.

lydia. i haven't been able to get into mae

fight

[alann]

Mae.

[dani1292]

Lydia for sure.

[Jamos4184]

This is much closer than i thought it would be. Lydia takes it for me, but only because Mae dropped off so much with Singularity. That album was a HUGE disappointment for me.

[WFUJerseyJon]

Mae, can't get into Lydia.

[Tail0130]

This is the most surprising close vote ever.

[newfoundmichael]

ewwwww, vote no on Lydia! Most unworthy hype band of AP history fo shizzy.

Destination Beautiful>Destination B-Sides>Everglow>Illuminate>Singularity>This December

and for the record, both of Mae's new songs have been top notch, it's comeback time!

Yeah I've never gotten Lydia. I think they are overhyped on this site too.

[HometownHero]

I think it should be a rule that anytime you mention Mindy on this site, you use this phrasing.
Haha it should be a law. After these polls there should be voting for some other rules for the site. That being one of them haha

[irthesteve]

Yeah I've never gotten Lydia. I think they are overhyped on this site too.
All aboard

http://www.jefklak.com/wiki/uploads/Articles/HypeTrain.jpg

[TakenByCars]

this is a though one, but Mae is getting my vote.

[ManicanParty49]

Saw Mae live, and didn't enjoy it. Lydia gets my vote.

[what_ever]

not a big fan of either, but I prefer Lydia

[themadsilentist]

Mae has been amazingly shittastic since Everglow.
Lydia has buckets of potential, and Illuminate.
Lydia wins.

[zeropunk16]

Mae has been amazingly shittastic since Everglow.
Lydia has buckets of potential, and Illuminate.
Lydia wins.

Faye wins.

[themadsilentist]

Faye wins.

Why thank you.

[tonyC4L]

Easily the hardest poll in this round.

[aloneatlastnj]

ewwwww, vote no on Lydia! Most unworthy hype band of AP history fo shizzy.

Destination Beautiful>Destination B-Sides>Everglow>Illuminate>Singularity>This December

and for the record, both of Mae's new songs have been top notch, it's comeback time!

:ok:

[atticusfinch]

IF Mae was still a band with the original members, it would have to be Mae hands down.

Destination: Beautiful>This December, It's One More And I'm Free
The Everglow>This December, It's One More And I'm Free
Illuminate>Singularity
This December, It's One More and I'm Free>Singularity

Illuminate = Destination: Beautiful
Illumiate>The Everglow

It's pretty much split 50/50.

I'm gonna flip a coin.

It was tails, so Mae.

[cuzimlefthanded]

It's only been like 7 votes...

oh fuck haha thanks man i didn't even see that. fail on my part

[imagination]

voted mae, never listened to lydia. should. still voted mae.

[drailskid]

mae. because I believe that The Everglow is the greatest album in history

[zeropunk16]

This is gonna be a barn burner!

http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3721/jimross4ct.jpg

[Spenny]

Gotta go with Mae.
*gets stoned by Lydia fans*

[Coh33d]

Close race on this one but I went with MAE.

[andrewshungry]

damn i figured lydia would be winning by a landslide

[zeropunk16]

Gotta go with Mae.
*gets stoned by Lydia fans*

Well I'm a Lydia fan, lets get stoned!!

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

Lydia will destroy this.
gosh i really thought so too. cant believe its so close.

[Cheesus]

wow... dead even

[kdefrisc]

oh man this was a really difficult choice....chose lydia though, illuminate has made more of an impression on me than any mae album

[Spenny]

Well I'm a Lydia fan, lets get stoned!!
Good job not understanding what I said.
Being stoned does not always refer to the effect of smoking pot.

[Undue Noise]

Wow really close poll - Lydia all the way.

[phil19]

i think i tied this one up for mae.

[onthefringe]

i like lydia, but the everglow and singularity are great albums. so mae.

[shortymyer]

Just broke the tie haha. Go Lydia!

[VIVALAMATT]

Mae!

[fadedmemories]

This is a close one. Go Lydia Go!

[DandonTRJ]

To be fair, I haven't spent much time with Lydia, but also to be fair, they didn't hook me nearly as quickly as Mae. The Everglow is a fucking masterpiece from start to finish. I don't even care if Elkins' voice isn't that great live. He's an amazing composer.

[The Personist]

Holy shit I was the tying vote.

Lydia!

[anamericangod]

Lol @ Mae keeping this so close.

Do you really want to give Slade that gratification?

[fadedmemories]

Holy shit I was the tying vote.

Lydia!
Good one!

[Ryzenfall]

Lipshits. Dead even.

I like both of these bands. Mindy's voice made me vote Lydia.

[bouttogetfancy]

must be the closest poll

[irthesteve]

IF Mae was still a band with the original members, it would have to be Mae hands down.

Destination: Beautiful>This December, It's One More And I'm Free
The Everglow>This December, It's One More And I'm Free
Illuminate>Singularity
This December, It's One More and I'm Free>Singularity

Illuminate = Destination: Beautiful
Illumiate>The Everglow

It's pretty much split 50/50.

I'm gonna flip a coin.

It was tails, so Mae.
weirdest math ever

[gemini089]

tough choice...i saw lydia live and they were amazing, but the everglow is one of my favorites...

[fadedmemories]

must be the closest poll
Indeed.

[atticusfinch]

weirdest math ever

there's probably a reason that I failed math twice in college. hahaha.

[notoaststereo]

mae... but only for destination beautiful and only because ive never listened to lydia.

[irthesteve]

there's probably a reason that I failed math twice in college. hahaha.
whatever works for you... haha

[anamericangod]

Finally got to put my 208 fake accounts to use.

[Pawan1993]

Lydia is brilliant. Mae is good but seems repetitive after a couple of listens.

[W/O a Parachute]

lydia, i can't believe its this close. singularity destroyed all i ever loved about mae

[just.Starla.]

Lydia for sure.

[zeropunk16]

Good job not understanding what I said.
Being stoned does not always refer to the effect of smoking pot.

Good job not understanding sarcasm. Now get me some BC bud.

[princesschad]

How is that crap band Mae even close here?

[lucygray]

Lydia

[trappedintime]

Lydia

[batmannj]

This was the most difficult matchup so far. I went with Mae by a small margin because the new songs have been some of the best I have heard from them, and I think that Destination:Beautiful is slightly better than Illuminate when comparing their best records respectively.

[hydraulicheart]

If this poll had occured four years ago... I still would have picked Lydia.

[WFUJerseyJon]

While Mae has fallen off, The Everglow was just about a perfect album and Destination: Beautiful wasn't far behind. Plus, Lydia is more overrated than Duke.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Not really familiar with much of Lydia, but I enjoy Mae.

[ship of fools]

The young rookie Lydia up against the seasoned veteran Mae in this all or nothing fight to the death!

[citylites]

Lydia by a landslide

[uglystar03]

Mae's first two lengths are miles better than Lydia's first two lengths. I loved Illuminate, but for me it is not competition to The Everglow.

[summachick708]

mae. because I believe that The Everglow is the greatest album in history
THIS.

[BrennanHickson]

yay for 100th post?

i don't listen to lydia...
You are not welcome here.

[Iwasalid]

I just cant get into Lydia...I am always trying but they just dont do it for me

[adam . . . ???]

wow this is close. c'mon Lydia!

[Julia Conny]

I don't know, I wanna give it to Lydia, but Mae did release Destination: Beautiful.

[aprilrainx]

lydia! <3

[stevoemo]

Being as how this is a tourney, I am gonna have to go with who's better right now, and that's Lydia, hands down.

[awakeohsleeper]

Wow, close.

[spunkmastaflex]

I couldn't get into Illuminate very much, its good but something that i really have to be in the mood for

[xSpillFiction]

I chose Mae, but Lydia gets so much love on this site, so I'm not expecting Mae to win.

[I am Mick]

I can't believe how close this is.
I'm all about Lydia

[fran.182]

Mae! "The Everglow" is a perfect record! So much nostalgia every time I listen to that record. It's so beautiful.

While not as good, "Singularity" is also great...

About Lydia, I just hate that overrated band.

[irthesteve]

This one is way close, which is dumb

[PenThrive]

Mae.

[Analog Rebellion]

Whoa, this is closer than I expected.

[npmshah]

mae is good...
lydia is better

[Daniel Thompson]

if Mae hadn't released Singularity, they would have my vote. Too bad. Lydia it is!

[cscwell107]

This was the hardest one for me. I gave it to Lydia after a lot of thought.

[HometownHero]

Whoa, this is closer than I expected.
I hope you chose Lydia to

[HometownHero]

Mae! "The Everglow" is a perfect record! So much nostalgia every time I listen to that record. It's so beautiful.

While not as good, "Singularity" is also great...

About Lydia, I just hate that overrated band.
They are not overrated whatsoever

[princesschad]

This is so close!

[lonelysuperstar]

This was really hard for me but I've liked Mae for longer. Not so much into more recent Mae, but I think The Everglow is nearly perfect. They got my vote based on that album.

[drewz5]

ewwwww, vote no on Lydia! Most unworthy hype band of AP history fo shizzy.

Destination Beautiful>Destination B-Sides>Everglow>Illuminate>Singularity>This December

and for the record, both of Mae's new songs have been top notch, it's comeback time!

i wouldn't say they're too overhyped because i do like illuminate a lot, but that mathematical equation you got going there i agree with, so i will have to vote for mae

[Analog Rebellion]

I hope you chose Lydia to

Duhhh :)

[irthesteve]

Duhhh :)
nooo, bad choice :-(

on a side note, i got Texas at Circuit City's going out of business sale for only $2.20, haha, such a legit deal. But the point of this is that the booklet has pics of only you except one girl, is that Madi from the song? since the picture is next to those lyrics. Either way, the cd is good driving music, well done my friend

[sohcampco]

Mae, I love Lydia, but Mae is something else.
I didn't like "Singularity" as well but nothing could top "Destination: Beautiful" for me

[Analog Rebellion]

nooo, bad choice :-(

Haha Lydia > Mae.

Haha nice, I didn't even know Circuit City sold my music. Yes, that's Madi.

Thank you :-)

[Analog Rebellion]

Holy crap this one is still close. 2 votes make the difference with almost 1000 votes cast.

[PaintMeBlue]

Lydia, no contest. Mae bores me.

[relaxrelapse830]

This is intense.
I voted for Lydia. I've been playing Illuminate nonstop recently.

[irthesteve]

Haha Lydia > Mae.

Haha nice, I didn't even know Circuit City sold my music. Yes, that's Madi.

Thank you :-)
how can you say Lydia > Mae? maybe my excellent math skills can help you out here:

Destination Beautiful>Destination B-Sides>Everglow>Illuminate>Singularity>This December

true story right there ^

[foisol]

Lydia. I love them.

[ijbet59]

nothing like illuminate.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

I love both, but Illuminate is one of the best, if not the best album I've ever heard and I could listen to it over and over forever. I can't believe it's so close. Before anyone votes in this one, listen to Illuminate one time and tell me it's not better than anything Mae has.

[Analog Rebellion]

how can you say Lydia > Mae? maybe my excellent math skills can help you out here:

Destination Beautiful>Destination B-Sides>Everglow>Illuminate>Singularity>This December

true story right there ^

Haha, I've just never been a fan of Mae. Plus, Lydia are my brosephs from another Joseph?

[TheLoyalVox]

This is way too close.

[irthesteve]

Haha, I've just never been a fan of Mae. Plus, Lydia are my brosephs from another Joseph?
personal connection ftw i guess. But seriously, give another listen to Destination Beautiful sometime soon and see if it at least changes your mind on Mae just a little bit

[ericsounds41]

Wow this one's going to be close.. well right now it is anyway.. I'd say Mae though.. barely.

[hailthewarrior]

Mae by far. Lydia is a shitty hype band with a chick who can't sing live... Destination:Beautiful is a beautiful album.

[owiseone35]

Lydia is only up by 12 o snap. Lydia has the better live show. But I love destination beautiful, it is like the quintessential summer album. I went with lydia though b/c I believe they have more talent and Mae's Singularity was really forgetful.

[jnnlopez]

LOVE Lydia. Mae=ehh. Mae has some good songs though.

[zubinmoosa]

The Everglow was a fantastic effort. That puts Mae on top for me.

[Zachals]

lydia is great and all...but mae is greater

[justletgo]

Wow, this is way closer than I thought it would be.
Even though I think Mae is alright, I love Lydia ... and Mindy.

[Rob Hrx]

Mae. When these guys are on form, they dominate.

[mutualaddiction]

Mae, based solely on the Everglow, which is a masterpiece.

[xxhard_to_sayxx]

Lydia! =)

[crimesides]

I love Everglow too much to vote against Mae on this one. But nice to see that the vote is so close.

[ExplodingStereo]

Tough call here. Lydia is so overhyped, it's unbelievable. Illuminate's a decent record, but not the best record of '08 like everyone on here put on their Top 10 lists. I kind of know Mae and they're also decent, but I went with Lydia because I knew more of their music.

[TheHoldSteady]

Go Lydia!

[rendezvous]

lydia is ok..but mae is fantastic

[Shrillex]

Don't listen to Lydia.

[RelientAudio]

Lydia's a personal fave, so I gave them my vote. But everyone that voted for Mae because of the Everglow...that album was kick ASS. I just feel like their new stuff is lacking. Current status on Mae: disappointed yet hopeful.

[samsara]

meh Lydia

[ninthandash]

saw mae about two weeks ago, and they've definitely improved on their live performance (especially vocally) since I'd seen them last.

All Lydia's songs just hit with a really hard impact, though. After the everglow, all of Mae's songs just lost all of their feeling it seemed like.

The winner is Lydia, in my book.
:D

[tinfoil-hearts]

I'm a big Mae person. Sorry, Lydia.

[prkchpsndwchs]

I'll be pretty upset if mae doesn't win.

[Analog Rebellion]

Mae by far. Lydia is a shitty hype band with a chick who can't sing live... Destination:Beautiful is a beautiful album.
Shitty hype band? I guess you haven't heard the other hype bands that have been floating around lately, or maybe you're just smart enough to ignore them. Regardless, even if you don't like Lydia, I don't know how you could degrade them to a "shitty hype band". They're definitely a talented group of individuals.

Also, Mindy sang their whole set last night without Leighton, and she sounded great. And that compliment is coming from someone that's very critical of live performances.

[ElevenElm]

i really like lydia, but i love mae as well, so i voted for them just because they deserve the vote and i know lydia will win.
yay run on sentences!

[bouttogetfancy]

yay lydia..hour and a half to go!

[nicoteen]

The Everglow alone should win this one for Mae. Such a great album. No offense to Lydia as they are a good band.

[fadedmemories]

Get well soon Leighton.

[littlebeav]

haha, hell yeah. My vote put Lydia up 1. I used to like Mae, but that last CD was shit.

[kdefrisc]

AAAHHHH this poll is so freakin close

[anamericangod]

Oh my God, I would have loved to have seen that.

[Kurt Retenauer]

lydia

[lindZ629]

How the hell can you guys listen to Lydia? Whoever the vocalist is, he/she needs a new job.

[Analog Rebellion]

Oh my God, I would have loved to have seen that.

Yeah it was great.

[Soulcatcher]

Mae, though lydia is cool too

[princesschad]

How the hell can you guys listen to Lydia? Whoever the vocalist is, he/she needs a new job.

Haha, what?

[Analog Rebellion]

How the hell can you guys listen to Lydia? Whoever the vocalist is, he/she needs a new job.
No.

[Analog Rebellion]

Damn this poll is so close
Seriously. 1 vote right now. Geez.

[katieissweet]

I thought Lydia was going to be dominating this the whole time.

[lonelysuperstar]

Wow it's intense how close this is. I think Illuminate is fantastic, I've been playing it non-stop. However, to me, The Everglow is perfect - there's nothing I'd change about that record.

[owiseone35]

one vote man I wonder how this one is gonna come out...

[Analog Rebellion]

I thought Lydia was going to be dominating this the whole time.
I actually though so too, at first. But considering the fact that Mae is bigger and has been around longer, it makes sense that they're tied with a heavily AP-hyped band. When I say AP-hyped, I mean Lydia has a significantly larger percentage of listeners here than they do out in the normal pool of every day music listeners.

Uh oh, Mae has pulled ahead for the first time.

Yeah I guess it does make sense. I just assumed since Lydia is such an AP-hyped band that everyone would vote for them.


And now it is tied. This is a close one.

[xsinkshipsx]

destination beautiful+ the everglow= better than lydia

[Analog Rebellion]

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/homerun7dh/Picture2-18.png
Craziness.

Haha, yeah, I ignore most things neon. When I saw them open for Waking Ashland a couple years ago, they had no life, the singer was lifeless in voice and action and it was just very blah. I listened to Illuminate once and it did absolutely nothing for me.

[Analog Rebellion]

That's fine. I still don't agree with classifying them as a shitty hype band.

[HammersNStrings]

I broke it... Lydia FTW.

[KyleMcr]

Lydia

[phil19]

mae's back in the lead!

[speakhandsforme]

Lydia is losing by two....what....

[InsmileOutblood]

Lydia! Now by one.

[friskycurtain]

ZOMG!!! 1 vote seperation

[W/O a Parachute]

this is fucking ridiculous

Lydia: 690
Mae: 691

i really thought lydia was going to dominate this.

[billyboatkid]

Lydia. Damn down by one. Incredible.

[fadedmemories]

Come on Lydia!

[lonelysuperstar]

Just listen to The Everglow and your decision will be made clear.

[erma12879]

Mae.
Sun (acoustic).
End of story.

[fadedmemories]

This poll is so damn close.

[Analog Rebellion]

When I went to bed last night, Mae was up by like 8 votes, now Lydia is ahead again. Stop toying with my life!

[ACA]

I just tied at 723.

[zubinmoosa]

Oh baby

[weownthestreets]

Lydia. Because of their discography.

[spunkmastaflex]

omg, lets go Maeeee

[cscwell107]

Wow I can't believe it is tied.

[tommy's ghost]

Holy shit, I made it a tie. Lydia all ze way.

[justletgo]

Holy shit Lydia down one vote! I never would have thought!

[fadedmemories]

742-741 with Mae leading.

[KidInTheHall182]

I just tied it up, go Lydia!

[fadedmemories]

I just tied it up, go Lydia!
Good job!

[MyNameIsRoss]

Lydia, but not a big fan of either.

[Ducks_own]

It's kind of like Bush and Gore in 2000, but a win-win.

I went with Mae. Even though Singularity was a drop-off from their last two albums, their last two singles already make up for it.

Though after buying and listening to Illuminate, Lydia is also a great band. I can see now why this is so close.

[EmaleeMae]

Lydia will destroy this.
Exactly what I thought..

[EmaleeMae]

Lydia.
Lydia.
Lydia.
Lydia.
Lydia.
Lydia.

[EmaleeMae]

When I went to bed last night, Mae was up by like 8 votes, now Lydia is ahead again. Stop toying with my life!
Haha!

[Anton Djamoos]

This is crazy close.

[Broclee]

This is a freakin' nail biter, lawdy.

[zubinmoosa]

This is crazy close.
Hey Anton, is there a way to make these polls limited to only people with AP accounts? Because it's very easy to spam votes by voting when signed out. Also, many people have recruited fanclubs and/or street teams to mass vote for their bands, when they are not even AP members.

If that is not possible, then closing the polls after 24 hours maybe would stop this, because it wouldn't be enough time for many outside people to get a hold off it. Many of these matchups have taken a turn (for the worse) after 48 hours or so, so I think it might be a good idea for the next round.

We'll make it so only registered people can vote from now on.

[zubinmoosa]

We'll make it so only registered people can vote from now on.
Nice.

[of_the_rose]

Lydia.

[Montauk1222]

Lydia, I can never get bored of them

[kigginsthisprov]

I really thought Lydia would be beating Mae by a lot, but there's a competition here.

[anamericangod]

Lydia is pulling away with it now.

[left6reenthumb]

Lydiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

and quit your complaining about street teams helping out...that is one of their reasons of existence -_____-

[Broclee]

Lydiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

and quit your complaining about street teams helping out...that is one of their reasons of existence -_____-

It's completely fair to have so that only registered members can vote, this is about AP.net's favorite band, not Which Band has a Bigger Street Team or whatever.

[imahoodlum]

Lydia, hands down.

[zubinmoosa]

It's completely fair to have so that only registered members can vote, this is about AP.net's favorite band, not Which Band has a Bigger Street Team or whatever.
agreed

[Merkin]

interesting

[Broclee]

Wtf happened? Last night it was tied it the mid 700's and now Lydfia is winning by 200? I guess some fan club came in and voted like the 30stm poll

Good god, I just noticed that.

Seriously, that's no fun.

I loved this particular one because of how close it was, it actually felt exciting.

[Broclee]

Word. This poll was fucking sweet and I thought it would be cool if this poll was won by just a few votes. Its been neck and neck the whole time and constantly tied but now Lydia has clearly won. At least all the future polls will be members only so things will be fair and none of this mass voting silliness occurs again

Indeed, it really defeats the purpose to have a mass voting of non-members, so I'm glad that'll be coming into play.

Wtf happened? Last night it was tied it the mid 700's and now Lydfia is winning by 200? I guess some fan club came in and voted like the 30stm poll
Pretty much.
Lydia was winning by barely anything this morning when I looked, but now they've pulled away.

[santi__x]

Lydia! <3

[amberofcourse]

Lydia! No doubt about it.

[anamericangod]

Unbelievable, Mae just got like 400 votes in an hour.

[Piss]

this poll isn't accurate

[smiller]

Definately Mae! Love them! Their newest song is incredible!

[Broclee]

Wow, haha.

[daftknight]

Hahah awesome. Mae FTW!

[lexidoodleellis]

i voted mae.

my favorite cd of all time is The Everglow.

I am not too big on their CD Singularity, though.

As a pianist I find their stuff so beautiful and inspiring.

I actually haven't ever listened to Lydia!

Check them out. They're not as poppy as Mae, but they aren't too far removed.

Check em out, they have some awesome piano parts as well, on top of the rest of their beautiful music.

[Analog Rebellion]

Holy shit. First Lydia's fan club or street team came in, now Mae's fan club or street team came in. Ridiculous.

[Soulcatcher]

mae all the way :)

[zeropunk16]

God damn. The battle for Middle Earth doesn't have shit on this.

[ohitisjess]

Mae, because I love their music so much. It can never get old to me, and I find myself listening to it especially in this nice spring weather that's been happening here lately.

[hf57]

lydia hands down for me

[amber3]

Lydia.

[bouttogetfancy]

gosh darn i wish lydia would win

[Ducks_own]

GAH! I stop looking at this for a day, and a massive comeback occurs... This is seriously messed up.

[reneelove89]

Mae >lydia

Hands Down, Best Band Ever.

People with one or two posts should not be allowed to vote.

Agreed. There should be a 50 post minimum.

[imahoodlum]

I was going to say at least 100. Notice how they signed up in March 2009 too.

Yea, I can't see them actually limiting it, though. They probably see this as a good opportunity to get new users.

[WFUJerseyJon]

Shocked but thrilled Mae is winning this.

[batmannj]

I am really surprised Mae is most likely going to win this.

Same here... and not in a good way.

It was tough for me. I went with Mae but it was like splitting hairs.

[Broclee]

Lydia got a lot votes recently, this might come down to the wire.

[imahoodlum]

Holy shit, it's way closer now.

[Fin.]

Two of my five favorite bands, but I've gotta go with Mae.
