March Mayhem Round 1: Sum 41 vs. Gym Class Heroes

[Anton Djamoos]

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

[theguy77]

awful choices.

[hailthewarrior]

sum 41 because... um... all killer and no filler had three good songs?

[theguy77]

hahaha, does this look infected was my jam one time... and then i turned 14.

all i can think of is how fucking awful a song from underclass hero was. theres a song from it on madden 08 and i never thought it possible but sum 41 is actually even worse at making their own style of music now than they used to be. most poorly constructed song by a "professional" band ive ever heard, and thats not an exaggeration.

[3eb23]

Sum 41 by a landslide.

[jimjam32]

sorry sums.

i've kinda grown out of both these bands. so i take the best of each of them, Chuck vs Papercut Chronicles.

I skip chuck more on my ipod.

[TalkShowsOnMute]

I guess Sum 41 even though I don't listen to them anymore.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Both terrible. Sum 41 gets it for when they were simple and fun.

[VIVALAMATT]

sum 41 because... um... all killer and no filler had three good songs?

Oh hell no, that cd was awesome

[3eb23]

All Killer No Filler was indeed an awesome cd

[tonighttonight0]

I'll take the lesser of two evils here...Sum 41

[boxingwithstars]

Sum 41, just because that was one of the first shows i ever went to with my friends and it was a lot of fun.

[notoaststereo]

sum 41

[Chris Fallon]

I still like Sum 41 -- make fun of me, but I do :shrug:

[Daniel Thompson]

i picked gym class heroes. i enjoyed the papercut chronicles more than all killer no filler.

[3eb23]

I still like Sum 41 -- make fun of me, but I do :shrug:

Nothing wrong with that. This thread just prompted me to listen to All Killer. Still has staying power.

[wheresadalia]

where's all the gym class heroes love?

[theguy77]

I still like Sum 41 -- make fun of me, but I do :shrug:

:crackup:

/make fun

[dancelukedance]

Easily sum 41

[hiya]

this is terrible, the starting line should of been put against one of these bands instead, so tsl could make it to the next round.

[anthonydarko]

Gym Class Heroes for me, I always thought Travis was an awesome lyricist.

[RAMROD85]

I still listen to sum41's old stuff... again, it all goes back to when I was in highschool... sum41 was huge.

besides, I wasn't too thrilled when I saw heroes live...

[x1onexwo1fx]

chuck is one of my all-time favorites, and does this look infected was amazing. didn't care much for their other stuff. i can't stand gym class heroes, though.

[PunkDrums182]

I still like Sum 41 -- make fun of me, but I do :shrug:
I still do too, I didn't like Underclass Hero but that definitely didn't make everything before it any less enjoyable. What's up with all the Sum 41 hating?

On a side note, I was listening to Does This Look Infected a lot today and Chuck a lot lately. Definitely Sum 41 on this poll.

[Chris Fallon]

Nothing wrong with that. This thread just prompted me to listen to All Killer. Still has staying power.
Underclass Hero was a disappointment, but the other three albums were great.

:crackup:

/make fun
:bann:

I don't hate UCH, but it's certainly trying to be American Idiot.

I am a huge fan of DTLI and Chuck, though -- I like when they do their pop-punk/metal sound.

[chipdip18]

All Killer No Filler had all killer songs, and no filler songs.

[singyoutocoma]

Sum 41 for Chuck.

[HometownHero]

Gym Class

[mickmadethelist]

gym class. more consistently decent albums.

[anthonydarko]

I stopped caring for Sum 41 when Brown Sound left.

[PunkDrums182]

All Killer No Filler had all killer songs, and no filler songs.
hahahahha

[ohheroine]

gch. decent live show and extremely cool dudes

[ghelms88]

How is Sum 41 not beating GCH by more?

[Spenny]

Don't like either anymore, but Sum 41 was one of my favourite bands when I was younger, so I gave my vote to them.

[Nick Le]

I still like Sum 41 -- make fun of me, but I do :shrug:

Pretty much this.

[emkvetwin]

Sum 41. among other things, i rediscovered "Pieces" recently. used to be one of my favorite songs when it came out, and still holds up.

[Undue Noise]

Don't particlarly like either, but Sum 41.

[AussieBoy]

I still like Sum 41 -- make fun of me, but I do :shrug:

saw them with Yellowcard last year and they were awesome still!!! miss the brown sound but they stilk kick arse, did channel Green Day abit, but if ur gonna be doin that at least green day rock

[Ryzenfall]

Ugh.

[Naenia]

Gym Class because they at least have one song I like.

[kazuma_ootaro28]

As for GCH I never could get into them and find their style of music laughable. Rock rap will always be shit no matter who makes it. Guitars and rap just don't mix for me and every time I think of the combination, Fred Durst's turd burglar grin pops up in my mind singing Break Stuff accompanied by ICP.

I'm not a fan of Gym Class Heroes and much of the Rap-Rock stuff anymore, but still:

q6UXqjYzrOI

That and The Roots should not mean every single combination of guitars and rap sound like Fred Durst and ICP fucking each other in the arse while singing Break Stuff.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Sum 41 use to be my jams way back when.

[LiquorAndDick]

Sum 41.

[3mpire]

Sum 41 because their first two albums were part of the reason I got into pop punk.

[Everiggs]

Sum 41.

Never really got into GCH.

[cscwell107]

This was really close but I gave it to Sum 41 because The Quilt was awful.

[cavalry]

Yea, I don't know why everyone hates on Sum 41. I loved them from the start and enjoy all of their CDs. :shrug:

[Badgers08]

Why couldn't you guys split this up and put Relient K against GCH and The Graduate against Sum 41?

Both of these bands suck. Can't even vote on this one.

[fly_guy]

Sum 41

[live.]

Each band had one good album IMO, and GCH's was better.

[¡vivalasanti!]

gch = dislike.

[Circa1628]

I picked Sum 41, because they are more consistent. The Papercut Chronicles was one of the best albums released when it came out, and now look what they have become.

[WFUJerseyJon]

Hmmm, both had 2 awesome first releases but have disappointed me personally with what they put out after. Gym Class due to the fact thay they've only put out 1 less than stellar album for me, where Sum 41 has put out like 3 in a row now.

[zubinmoosa]

Sum 41 by a landslide.

[phoenixinflames]

Weird poll...I went with Sum 41. I think Gym Class is lame.

[MattDennis]

I actually would have voted for Sum 41 if their last two albums weren't, in my opinion, shit.

[batmannj]

Gym Class because The Papercut Chronicles was a fantastic record

[color_coded]

Sum 41

[MickShamrock]

Sum 41.

[ericsounds41]

Sum 41 is still one of my favorite bands.. definitely going with them.. Not to mention their new album comes out later this year and it's going to be more of that harder rock sound.

[wahwah16]

Sum 41, cause they bring back good memories

[Galedeep]

This one was tough, both have put out good and solid releases, both have put out pretty bad releases. A few years ago I would have gone with Sum 41, but my tastes right now I prefer Gym Class.

[desipunk7]

went with sum 41 on this one

[pennie]

sum 41, for nostalgia more than anything.

[blimpcityhero11]

I went GCH on this one... I'm not the biggest fan of Sum 41, but GCH needs to get back to their roots on the next LP.

[altemose09]

sum 41 were my childhood favorite so them no doubt

[PenThrive]

Wow. I don't really care for either, but went with Sum41...AKNF had 2-3 decent tracks.

[love_american_style]

gch muthafucka

[Charles777]

Can't stand Sum 41. Went with Gym Class

[atticusfinch]

Sum 41. Easy.

[Protested Hero]

Drop dead a bullet to my head, your words are like a gun in hand.

[Theseventhson]

Gym Class Heroes because I can at least stand them.

[c_rob2700]

I still like Sum 41 -- make fun of me, but I do :shrug:
I have a feeling you're a Chuck fan


Went with Sum 41 because, along with Blink, this is the band that got me into music

[Alex DiVincenzo]

The Sums.

[owiseone35]

Sum 41

[what_ever]

Not really a fan of either, but I dislike GCH more

[xSpillFiction]

I'm surprised Sum 41 is winning this.

[TheHoldSteady]

Been listening to Sum 41 for so so long now. Voted for them.

[2 fly and shy]

Papercut Chronicles > anything Sum 41 has done.

[ryheeles]

i still listen to Sum. you know, like once a year

[starjamgirl]

Sum 41. not a fan of GCH.

[iteeahh]

i could choose. but its hard. im like a dd/fbr obsessive so for that id pick GCH. but i have to admit that Sum ARE better. :)

[Chris Fallon]

I have a feeling you're a Chuck fan

You would be correct -- their second and third albums are my favorites (not counting Half Hour of Power since it's an EP).

[c_rob2700]

Same. Does This Look Infected is my favorite. I still think they have the ability to craft a solid album

[ezco25]

are u seerious sum 41 r one of the best bands out there now

[IceAge/HeatWave]

terrible choices, but sum 41 with a gun to my head

[2 fly and shy]

are u seerious sum 41 r one of the best bands out there now

These poll threads are consistently facepalm-inducing.

Yet, I keep coming back to them. You know, the car crash thing.

[Amen Amen]

sum 41 for writing fat lip
