[Anton Djamoos]

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

[blimpcityhero11]

Acceptance in a landslide IMO...

[taylerx0]

Acceptance, for sure. I miss them so much, I never got the chance to see them live.

[ThisIsNotDan]

Acceptance

[Burn That Shit]

Kids that have heard Saosin that haven't heard acceptance: Go listen to acceptance!

[bcguy21]

Both bands are AMAZING, BUT Acceptance will always have the fact they went out with a BANG!!!

[hailthewarrior]

i wouldve picked acceptance had not saosin come up on shuffle. had to pick them just cause of the coincidence. that, and it was "seven years"

[lissalynn]

Going with Acceptance.

[boxingwithstars]

Acceptance, hands down.

[George-Michael]

Old Saosin>Acceptance>New Saosin

[mcdizzle88]

this should be no contest

[Readyfuels]

this should be no contest

Exactly what I was going to say

[Cue the Sun]

Acceptance. I grew out of Saosin pretty fast.

[mo0ink]

shocking results

[Chris Fallon]

Jason Vena = one of the best voices in recent memory

[comeonsrsly]

only old saosin was appealing to me, all of acceptance is appealing to me - therefore acceptance > saosin

[Klatzke]

I feel bad for what's about to happen to Saosin in this, but I voted for them.

[Spenny]

As much as I love Saosin, gotta go with Acceptance.

[yoyostring]

had to go with saosin, though i love acceptance

[The Summer Ends]

Acceptance will never leave my iPod.

[live.]

Both bands have each had one incredible full length. I love and respect Acceptance, but Saosin has a bright future and I dig them more right now.

[Shrillex]

Saosin.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

acceptance.

[what_ever]

Saosin. "Body of work," as they say.

[irthesteve]

Neither, Acceptance are overrated and Saosin got bad

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Acceptance easily.

[atticusfinch]

Go Acceptance Go!

[foisol]

I hate this because I love both bands so much... but Saosin is such a strong influence on me, I can't vote for Acceptance.

[kissible&quiet]

Jason Vena = one of the best voices in recent memory

agreed.

[AP_Punk]

'cpetance

[Broden Terry]

Acceptance. I'm not a fan of Saosin.

[onthefringe]

how can you vote against acceptance.

[drailskid]

Acceptance ftw.... Saosin has some good stuff, but Acceptance beats them without a fight

[ACA]

Really tough, because Saosin has been so weak since Anthony left.

But TTN EP is good enough to beat Acceptance, which is also a great band.

[cscwell107]

Saosin= Really Good
Acceptance= Really Awesome

[katieissweet]

Easily Acceptance.

[bailmeout13]

Acceptance.

[Broclee]

Acceptance. Nothing of Saosin's has stuck with me since Anthony left.

[Mike Kraft]

Acceptance lyrics. What more needs to be said?

[x1onexwo1fx]

Anthony Green era Saosin should be considered an entirely different band. I haven't listened to Acceptance, but I can't vote for Saosin because anything after Translating the Name is crap.

[Yagami]

Phantoms and Saosin's eponymous full-length are both excellent. I do think Jason Vena rapes Anthony Green in terms of vocal talent/quality.

[mxpxjf]

This was kind of a tough one, but I went with Saosin. They have the advantage on vocals for sure, and they're incredible live. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see Acceptance...

[Clark]

Saosin better have a come from behind win.

TRANSLATING THE NAME! I mean, come on. Seriously.

[ohheroine]

saosin. there really isnt any of their music i do not like.

[notoaststereo]

acceptance

[alltimecam]

Does this include Saosin with Anthony Green?

[Ryzenfall]

Acceptance.
One of my most missed bands. I still listen to them very often.

All these promises won't turn golden, until you touch them.

[thesafeword]

TTN is overrated and mediocre at best and Saosin with Cove is shit, that being said I went and listened to some Acceptance and it sounded like generic radio rock and not as good as TTN. So Saosin grabs my vote.

[WFUJerseyJon]

It's closer than it should be, Acceptance were incredible.

[thesafeword]

I was not impressed... :shrug:

[flyingmonkey711]

Acceptance for the win........

[Co and Ca]

Saosin. I still listen to their first EP regularly.

[tjb4233]

phew...didn't know if enough people knew about Acceptance...those nostalgia pieces are doing good work Jason!

[Undue Noise]

Definitely going with Acceptance.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

I love both but come on, Jason Vena could easily win this entire contest by himself. Once the amazing instrumentals are behind him, Acceptance has to be the heavy favorite.

[acfrue]

It really depends on what Saosin we're talking about, Anthony Green era Saosin >>>>>>> Cove era Saosin.

[C480RG]

Jason Vena = one of the best voices in recent memory
fully agree

[b4_dRun]

Saosin
cuz Alex Rodriguez is one of the best drummer i've ever see

[phil19]

saosin

[Imperfektion]

I miss Acceptance.

[Domenic182]

I love Saosin's Translating The Name, but everything else they've done is shit.

[punklet2101]

Old Saosin>Acceptance>New Saosin

My thoughts exactly.

Only cause of old sao, I have to vote for them, as much as i love acceptance.

[the1]

I still dont see why people don't like the Saosin full length. The melodies are incredible!!

I'm listening to So Contagious. It's actually very good!!

But Saosin are just fucking incredible to me, and I rock out on guitar to their album practically everyday. Saosin it is!

[altemose09]

say ocean

[sevinw0rds]

Acceptance...nothing they ever did sounded bad to me. Saosin is a cool band, but Cove's live screeching hurts me.

[3mpire]

Acceptance. Even listening to them now.

[desipunk7]

I'm glad acceptance is dominating here

[spartanfan10]

I love how the first post is always someone saying who they voted for like I fucking care.

[igetmikey]

really?

[tbsrock08]

I like em both but was more into Saosin. Back when Anthony Green was in Saosin was when i started to listen to them! I saw them at the same Show. Saosin Acceptance...weird

[batmannj]

Acceptance for sure, but by the end of the week all the Saosin voters will come out for their one time only votes and posts and I will bet that Saosin wins this somehow. Its sad really.

[Everiggs]

Aceeptance. Oh yeah.

[inyoursea]

Acceptance. Woooo.

[raychull]

Acceptance

[RonStoppable]

Definitely Acceptance. Saosin bores me.

[Samlynire...]

I voted Saosin because I love them and because I've never listened to Acceptance...So I guess I will.

[Daniel Thompson]

i picked saosin. i do like acceptance, but i like saosin more.

[Ishbalan]

Saosin. Kinda surprised they're losing.

[oncedarkness]

saosin

[Jason Morales]

After a long time of not, I listened to Saosin by accident yesterday and loved it - but they don't stand a chance against Acceptance in my mind. I hate this pairing.

[phoenixinflames]

I went with Saosin...only for their first demo. I could never get into Acceptance.

[fadedmemories]

Old Saosin>Acceptance>New Saosin
This x 100.

[x13looDx]

saosin fo sho

[paramorekicks]

Acceptance in a landslide IMO...
agreed 100%

[Broclee]

I love how the first post is always someone saying who they voted for like I fucking care.

That's the...whole point...
:-|

[andrewa5]

Saosin, especially if you look back in the day with Anthony Green, their ound was so great! and today their songs are sill fun and catchy!

[Broclee]

Saosin, especially if you look back in the day with Anthony Green, their ound was so great! and today their songs are sill fun and catchy!
Honestly, I can understand how someone likes Saosin, but I don't think "fun" and "catchy" are the words I would use to describe their music.

[andrewa5]

Honestly, I can understand how someone likes Saosin, but I don't think "fun" and "catchy" are the words I would use to describe their music.
Their newer stuff.
if i chose to describe back in the day, it would be Creative,lively...

[Broclee]

Their newer stuff.
if i chose to describe back in the day, it would be Creative,lively...
I've listened to their self-titled several times, and "catchy" and "fun" are still not words I'd think of. "Dark" and "brooding" are more of what I would think.,

[Badgers08]

It's easily Acceptance for me. Just never really got into Saosin.

Anyone else see tweet from Mr. Jason Tate http://i43.tinypic.com/2j3ocg7.jpg

[futurebreed]

Acceptance >>>> Saosin

[uglystar03]

Acceptance, obviously.

[kerstynallover]

This is one competition I refuse to vote on.
Both have put out amazing records, and displayed talent other bands only wish they could have.

[Cheesus]

lol acceptance stopped making music years ago and are still winning. awesome

[tonighttonight0]

Old Saosin

[hydraulicheart]

I remember the night my brother called me at 4am to tell me the news of Acceptance breaking up. No Saosin news has affected me quite like that did. Need I say more?

[hayz1887]

acceptance = great live band...Saosin not so much Jason > Anthony> Cove

[MADSTA]

Acceptance by faaaaaar!

[littlebeav]

Saosin are really good, but they'll never have that place in my heart like Acceptance does. Short discography sure, but that debut Major Label album, "Phantoms" is one of, if not, the best debut album ever. And it's one hell of a contender for at least some sort of top 100 albums list or two. Saosin, just never really got it right on every track. Tough love. Going for Acceptance.

[Poochemist]

Hmm, to scene or not to scene?

[Rob Hrx]

Old Saosin>Acceptance>New Saosin

Truth.

[Benny K]

i don't understand peoples fixation with acceptance on this site. could someone explain why they think acceptance is vastly superior?
its scene either way poochemist.

[MickShamrock]

Saosin.

[Brett3]

Acceptance, Saosin is pretty cool though.

[RonStoppable]

I'm glad Acceptance is winning. I wasn't aware they had this much support here.

[Dirge07]

Still haven't really listened to Acceptance, and from what I've heard about them they're pretty damn good. BUT I still gotta vote Saosin since I still love their old songs with Anthony to this day...

[stevoemo]

wish Acceptance had done more musics.

[&IllBeTheReason]

I'm embarassed by the fact that it is so close. Acceptance is vastly superior in every single way.

[more heart]

Saosin for me.

[DandonTRJ]

Saosin's ST was a great album, and Seven Years is one of my favorite song's ever, but Phantoms is untouchable. One of those rare albums where I can't think of a single thing to improve upon, where the songs don't age at all. Everything is pristine, every song a winner, and Jason Vena's voice shines on each track. Acceptance did pop-rock like noone else. God I miss them.

[gphatx]

Acceptance, hands down.

[zubinmoosa]

Damn, this one is really, really tough. Saosin is an awesome band (both with Anthony and Cove), and TTN is a classic release. I thought the self-titled was a very solid full length as well. However, Acceptance is a band that released one of my favorite albums of all time. I haven't gone a week without spinning Phantoms at least once. Still, gotta go with Saosin on this one. Sucks one of these bands has to lose.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Saosin. Tried to get into Acceptance but couldn't.

[thesafeword]

Saosin. Tried to get into Acceptance but couldn't.
I listened to some of their songs and it wasn't that great.

[batmannj]

I am so glad Acceptance won this poll.
