| Battle Of The Genres - Part 6
BATTLE OF THE GENRES - PART SIX /// To nobody's surprise, Elliott Smith won the last round with flying colours. The acoustic-indie solo artist will be moving on to the next round, as will one of the following bands below. /// DESC RIPTION - Vote for a band that you would like to represent each genre. There are eighteen genres in total, which means eighteen preliminary rounds. Then the representatives from each genre will face off. Which genre/band will win? /// RULES - One vote per member per day (each round lasts 24 hours) - In the event of a tie, a faceoff will occur between the disputed bands - Let's get started | 1 | MODERN PUNK | 2 | A Wilhelm Scream
Highest-rated album: Career Suicide (4.2 avg. rating) /// "If what you're looking for is music from an honest place, then you've found it in A Wilhelm Scream. Avoiding bandwagons and bucking trends has been their modus operandi since the bands inception. Founding members Trevor Reilly, Nuno Pereira and Nick Angelini have never focused on image or success, however success seems to have found them." | 3 | Strung Out
Highest-rated album: Twisted By Design (4.2 avg. rating) /// "Southern California punkers Strung Out were formed in 1992, with a lineup featuring vocalist Jason Cruz, guitarists Jake Kiley and Rob Ramos, bassist Jim Cherry, and drummer Jordan Burns. They remain as one of the greatest and most under-rated punk bands of the 90's, and are perhaps all the better for it." | 4 | Propagandhi
Highest-rated album: Supporting Caste (4.1 avg. rating) /// "One of Fat Wreck Chords first bands, Propagandhi mixes the Epi/Fat mid-90's punk rock sound with some 80's thrash and prog-rock song structures and musicianship, along with militant left-wing polemical lyrics. Engaging, intelligent, and most importantly, ROCKING, Propagandhi is essential." | |

07.18.10 | Enjoy! | eternium
07.18.10 | Uh, I haven't listened to any of these..
Are you going to do a hardcore round? Old school or modern? | Emim
07.18.10 | Dumb choices. | Lambda
07.18.10 | You haven't heard any of these? Really??
And yes, there will be a hardcore round | ConsiderPhlebas
07.18.10 | Tough choice between 2 and 3, so I'll go with NOFX. | ConsiderPhlebas
07.18.10 | Shit I meant 3 and 4. | Yeahtoast
07.18.10 | Dead Kennedys | eternium
07.18.10 | Hardcore round should include Bad Brains, Minor Threat, and Black Flag. | luci
07.18.10 | bad choices
PROPAGANDHI | Inveigh
07.18.10 | excellent choices (for modern punk at least) dunno what these guys are talking about. these are pretty much the three best modern punk bands imo. such a tough choice, so I'll go with the one I've liked the longest.
Propagandhi | East Hastings
07.18.10 | wilhelm scream | Dryden
07.18.10 | UGH! | TRMshadow
07.18.10 | Propagandhi, but yeah, really crap choices here. Also, Gandhi is the only one I've ever really tried so far. | Counterf3it
07.18.10 | dead kennedys | Optimist
07.18.10 | didn't you pair these three together already on your battle of the bands? choices aren't bad if the title was modern punk i guess, but kinda weird these are representing all punk.
anyway, tough decision... but i'll go with propagandhi. aws is a close second. | Inveigh
07.18.10 | "Propagandhi, but yeah, really crap choices here. Also, Gandhi is the only one I've ever really tried so far."
lol so you've only listened to 1/3 of these bands but feel confident calling them crap? | Yazz_Flute
07.18.10 | A Wilhelm Scream | Yazz_Flute
07.18.10 | Also the choices are fine man. | cvlts
07.18.10 | good modern punk choices. i'd have thrown in rancid, but watev.
Propaghandi. | igloodude
07.18.10 | Propagandhi | TRMshadow
07.18.10 | @Inveigh. Well, when I think of the genre "punk" I think of stuff like NoFX, Bad Religion, and the like, not Strung out. I don't really mean that the bands themselves are bad, but that the choices aren't a very good representation of the "punk" genre. I will go with what others have said before me saying "modern punk" would be a better title for this battle. | Lambda
07.18.10 | I agree that Modern Punk is a better title. Changed. | acorncheese
07.18.10 | Strung Out | qwe3
07.18.10 | why the fuck must you keep doing these | eternium
07.18.10 | Just because he can. | cvlts
07.18.10 | haters gonna hate. | Inveigh
07.18.10 | TRMshadow: understood, and agreed | Thor
07.18.10 | A Wilhelm Scream | blindsided21
07.18.10 | A Wilhelm Scream FTW!!! | TRMshadow
07.18.10 | Thinking about giving Wilhelm a chance. What would you say is the best starter? | cvlts
07.18.10 | career suicide | Deviant.
07.18.10 | Strung Out | Satellite
07.18.10 | AWS
This was a tough one. | Captain North
07.18.10 | There better be old school AND modern hardcore. | acADHDemy
07.18.10 | if he legitimizes the bastard genre that is
indie without honoring the glorious gift from
god that is nu metal then he will have to die.
and the nu metal bands better include Limp.
Deftones are a given.none of this faggy lostprophets
garbage. Sevendust would be a good call.
DON'T FUCK THIS UP | OpethFreak
