Again, low vote getter will be eliminated.

1.) Unkle - Lonely Soul



2.) My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words



3.) Queens of the Stone Age - The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret

Unkle gets my vote. I was going to not vote for it because this song is just too long. It could accomplish the same thing in about half the time. But I just absolutely loathe MCR and wish they would fall off the face of the earth. This song reminded me why I feel that way. And QOTSA are just kind of there in my book. Some of their songs are cool, but I feel like if you've heard them once, you've basically heard everything they've got to offer.

I liked the QOTSA song, it was pretty good. The Unkle song was pretty cool too, but my vote goes to MCR. It's a pretty epic song. I feel like the band really put themselves into this song. But I cannot ever see MCR winning on this site.

probably not. he might kind of look like what you would get if Corgan had a bastard son with a Hot Topic, but i don't think they have too many fans here. i could be wrong, but that would my impression.

There are some bands I like a lot but wouldn't enter into this contest: My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Slipknot... most metal and punk bands... actually about 75% of my CD collection, probably Not that they'd do worse than the song I did enter...

The Unkle song was annoying my ears.
The QOTSA song was pretty good.
But I love the MCR song. Not my absolute favourite by them, but still a great song from a great album. Shame about their follow-up album...


Oh, and it looks like Ryon forgot to vote

QOTSA wins this one easily for me.

I can't listen to them right now (I'm at work)
But im sure QOTSA is going to get my vote later tonight

I didn't care for the Unkle song, I hate MCR. I voted QotSA. I like them, but I think they have better songs then the one chosen.

Out of Ten

Lonely Soul 10

Famous Last Words 6

The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret 2*

2 points deducted because I know the song.

For me, I quite enjoyed the MCR song. Surprised actually. Their not a traditional punk band by any means.
I agree with Ghost Child with what he said about Queens. Like .... It's just so bland. Just so ... yeah, whatever

Lonely Soul is definitely a grower though. An epic masterpiece of experimentation and despair

QOTSA for me.
I will admit the other songs where very good though a great selection from the 3 people and sorry somebody has to lose

I voted for Unkle. I didn't like the MCR song, and it was a tough choice between QOTSA and Unkle. But there are better Queens songs and I dug the Unkle song.

QOTSA got my vote easily, even tho i've never been a fan.

I liked the first song but it's too long, and i lost attention at the end.
I already knew the other two song, i like both but i chose qotsa

Songs for the Deaf is one of the best modern rock albums. Easily better than anything the Foo Fighters have come up with.

i will agree with this.

i've never heard Unkle before. i like this song quite a bit and i didn't think it was too long. i thought it was a pleasant listen. and i liked the QOTSA song, but they do have better. i voted for Unkle.

Speaking of qotsa, did you guys hear about Nick Oliveri? What a dumbass.

I love this Unkle song..yes, Thom Yorke is featured on vocals.



Honestly one of my all time favorite music videos.

Most seem to judge MCR according to their singles or public reception, which is quite unfair. If you listen to their first three records, you may be quite surprised. Not an amazing band by any means, but more solid than people give them credit for. Either way, they aren't for everyone. Some have indeed given them a legitimate chance and just saw nothing to like. To each their own.

My vote goes to MCR. And they actually usually would fall pretty far down my favorite bands list. In this case, I prefer this song to the others listed.

I recommend checking out the following songs by them, frank. Separated by album.

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
-Headfirst For Halos
-Demolition Lovers

Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge
-The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You
-The Ghost Of You
-Helena
-To The End

The Black Parade
-Famous Last Words
-Cancer
-Dead!
-This Is How I Disappear
-Disenchanted
-The Sharpest Lives
-Mama

Also, the few good cuts from the new album are 'Vampire Money', 'The Only Hope For Me Is You', and 'Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back.'

I'd recommend some other MCR songs. Early Sunsets Over Monroeville is maybe my favourite from their first album. Vampires Will Never Hurt You is really good too. And to be honest, I'd recommend almost any songs from their 2nd and 3rd albums.
I only listened to the latest album once, it was pretty awful. There were a few ok songs, maybe they're the ones you mentioned, I can't remember.
