lesto17
03/22/09, 10:39 PM
Even for the people who don't care for newer Saves the Day, think about it this way:

The Format only put out two full lengths. The first of which is mediocre. The second is great.

Saves the Day have put out at the very least two genre defining albums in "Through Being Cool" and "Stay What You Are". I would personally argue that "Can't Slow Down" and "In Reverie" be added to that list, along with a pretty good release in "Sound The Alarm" and a very strong release in "Under the Boards". This also completely overlooks "I'm Sorry I'm Leaving" and any of their fantastic B-sides.

swirlofhues
03/22/09, 10:40 PM
saves the day, they have more of a timeless quality. the format's "interventions and lullabies" (which i think is their best work) is less interesting than "stay what you are"

Saves the Day is the better and more influential band, no doubt, I just have pretty much equal sentimental attachment to both.

This is the toughest one I have seen yet. I feel bad for voting against The Format, but Stay What You Are is the perfect album in my opinion and what really got me into music. You win STD.

This is definitely the toughest one yet. I went with the Format just cause I think that they may be a little better.

FourStarters
03/22/09, 11:21 PM
I went with The Format.

For me, Saves The Day had a great album in Stay What You Are and a good album in Through Being Cool, and Chris is an awesome dude, but The Format were two for two in great albums, with one being Interventions & Lullabies, one of my favorites in recent years. It's a tough call, but I had to go with The Format.

chokeychicken
03/22/09, 11:24 PM
if anybody votes for the format here, they are a fucking idiot. saves the day has released 2 of the most important records in this scene in the last 10 years and have helped produce tons of bands that we all know and love. i love the format, but this is a no brainer. show some fucking respect.

dyslexicrayon
03/22/09, 11:36 PM
Stay What You Are is an absolute favorite of mine, but so is Dog Problems. This incredibly tough.
However, I didn't really get into any other STD album, they made a decline in my book. at least The Format went on hiatus before they made a disappointment...

still hard.

03/22/09, 11:38 PM
saves the day because A.) two current members are in glassjaw, B.) In Reverie was beyond incredible

03/22/09, 11:38 PM
this matchup sucks first round. i'll argue that The Format have a more prevalent impact on the current state of music with the dance beat stolen round the world from "The First Single". but it's tough to argue with Saves The Day, if not on career longevity alone. but i voted local. and Sam Means' version of the new song on the Reubens Accomplice is great. The Format.

That's just dumb. It's asking which band you like better. Not which band has had greater influence on this scene.

OldJersey

Then Saves the Day would still be the choice, Stay What You Are and Through Being Cool are clearly better and more solid releases than anything the format has done, I dig them too but STD is the clear winner here.

thechrisformat

Could never really get into STD, and the format is always a good mood lifter. Decision made.

bs7090
03/23/09, 02:29 AM
lets put it this way: there arent too many bands i would pick over saves the day. the format happens to be one of them. i kinda had a feeling theyd be behind though. too bad, it would have been interesting to see how far they would have went if they wouldnt have gotten paired up with such a genre-defining band in the first round.

bs7090
03/23/09, 02:30 AM
But Interventions and Lullibies is perfect and better than anything STD has done or ever will do. I fucking love both bands but Interventions and Lullibies is the deciding factor in which band I like more.

I understand that nostalgia is why STD will probably win. I don't have that bias because I sadly didn't get into them until early 07 when they toured with Say Anything

fixed.

03/23/09, 02:39 AM
I did enjoy Dog Problems, but The Format as a whole is just shite compared to Saves the Day and their first three/four full-lengths.

03/23/09, 06:23 AM
This pairing is ridiculous, it's like putting Memphis v Michigan State or something. Bands that have an outside chance of going all the way, but will probably lose in the final rounds. Regardless, both are too good to have one get knocked out in the first round.

I will stand by the fact that STD only has one listenable album and the Format should win, but really the whole tournament loses no matter who gets knocked out because Yellowcard is going to make it further than the Format.

Single hardest match up yet in these polls both last week and this week. I really could not decide, but ultimately went with The Format because I believe if they'd stuck together as long as STD they would have had a better overall catalog, even though STD is one of the defining bands in my life.

boxingwithstars
03/23/09, 09:00 AM
this one was difficult. i voted for The Format. i love Saves The Day, but i have to say that The Format was one of the best pop acts to emerge in the last 10 years. they released one solid record, and one incredible record. if they would have put out another one, it probably would have been amazing as well. just because their discography has less to choose from doesn't mean they were any less of a band than STD.

Can't decide...can't decide, brain aneurysm! TF has nearly twice as many plays in my library...but I feel more alive listening to STD than I do to TF...which makes no sense at all. I still remember the first time I heard Rocks Tonic Juice Magic, and the first time I saw TF they didn't make much of an impact on me, it took another year for me to get into them. So I have to go with Saves the Day.

STD's first 3 records were amazing and influential but they have tailed off over the last 10 years or so. The Format wins because they have been more impactful to me over the last 4-5 years. Bummed they broke up but I will be seeing fun with Manchester in St. Pete in June!

Any other Saves the Day rec's?

Not everyone likes shitty whine like a baby vocals. Chris Conley has the worst voice ever. Sorry you have bad taste?

Um. Have you even listened to all their albums? His voice doesn't sound like 'shitty whine like a baby vocals' at all except on maybe the latest release. His voice has pretty much changed over every album tbh.

If they lose, I'll leave AP.net

Like others said, pretty much all their albums really are different and have something special worth listening. Get a hold of the Ups and Downs compilation of b-sides and early recordings, the title track is one of their best, and it's a nice sampler of how they progressed and what they've got to offer, but you definitely must hear all of through being cool and stay what you are. They're classic. In Reverie and Sound the Alarm are as different as two albums can get and yet both great, though they'll probably take more time to grow on you. The most recent album, under the boards, has a really good balance of styles in it and if you liked at your funeral, you may enjoy can't stay the same.. Their first album, Can't Slow Down, is also a solid debut, but you probably won't find anything too groundbreaking there. And if you're into acoustic, there's 3 Bug Session EPs that sample across their entire catalog. Not mentioning other great demos and always amazing live performances.

No disrespect to The Format, but they really can't compete with all that.

I've even been spending the last few days making "Brand New > PRP" pictures out of censored nudes of me, in anticipation of losing violently to them in the first round (I figured that would be my luck).
