thongrider Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 We should do an experiment where we put every band in the competition and see if we get the same winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that work? Impact can mean a lot of things, popularity was the main thought that came to mind, they made pop punk a continually popular thing at the time, they left a legacy in terms of hits and albums people picked up during that era. I am not backpedalling either, I did not mean influence, I don't know anyone they influenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't do this, they mainly benefited from the commercial success of Green Day and blink. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 What I love about brackets is how it's never anyone's first choice. The winner is usually a band most people aren't remotely jazzed about. Makes me think the whole process is flawed but whatevs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no, this way is more entertaining just time consuming, that's why I put Patient on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but they were still mega popular amongst the genre, you still needed the NFGs to support the genre outside blink and green Day (who went less pop punk as time went on anyways, green Day definitely went more just alt rock to me). That is impact to me, being one of the more popular bands. MCS was pretty solid but they were not in the same level as NFG if I'm not mistaken.

Meltdown Tracker Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 We should do another tourney again soon with different matchups/brackets and more bands. We missed a lot of solid pop-punk bands this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed a lot of solid pop-punk bands this time around. I really hope we do not redo this whole thing just to have different seedings and matchups, the results will be nearly the same and if not does anyone care that much outside of Lagwagon's loss? To go through this whole process? I don't. Your team doesn't always win, that's what keeps it fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 I think we could do this again at some point, but we should probably wait at least a year. I'd be down to do another tournament that's fairly different sooner though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit me up Jans ex Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Just changed my vote from NFG to MCS because this whole poll has been ridonkulous from the get go.

thongrider Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 It reminds me of political elections. There are lots of interesting choices in theory, but in the end you're always left with the blandes ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 NFG are top tier pop punk imo. I'm honestly surprised that every blink fan isn't automatically a New Found Glory fan. They practically sit in the same space on the pop punk spectrum. Not in terms of popularity, but in terms of the kind of pop punk they make.

Elisa Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 New Found Glory are great live but their music is waaaaay too repetitive and bland. Not many albums have stayed with me from my teenage years like I Am The Movie, Commit This To Memory and Even If It Kills Me. However, if both bands put out a song tomorrow, I know whose song would absolutely suck. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
