A Perfect Circle
http://bestmusicpoll.com/bmp2k1/images/circle.gif
3 Libras
Threw you the obvious
And you flew with it on your back
A name
In your recollection,
Down among a million say:

Difficult not to feel a little bit
Disappointed and passed over
When I LOOK right through
See you naked but oblivious

And you don't

See

Me.

But I threw you the obvious
Just to see if there's more behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel
Eyes of a tragedy.

Here I am expecting just a little bit
Too much from the wounded.
But I see, see through it all
SEE THROUGH.

See you.

CUZ I threw you the obvious
To see what occurs behind the
Eyes of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.

Oh well.
Oh well.
Apparently nothing.
Apparently nothing at all.

You don't
You don't
You don't see me!

You don't
You don't
You don't see me!

You don't
You don't
You don't see me!

You don't
You don't
You don't see me!

You don't
see me!

You don't
You don't
You don't see me at all.

3 Doors Down

Kryptonite
I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the
Dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
To do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
But still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite

Yeah!

If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be there
Holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite

I just want to know what you consider to be a "good" modern band. >=(

And I'm in a bind here. I love both bands. I havnt decided who to vote for yet.

Grandaddy

BTW, did you put Tom Petty on your old band list? if not im gunna kick you one. :p

I didnt have any influence on the old bands list..that was Zebra's job. Although I must say, Tom Petty is one of my favorite bands of all time.

Ok, so out of the bands you posted that you DO like, I've included some of those. Both Zwan and the Pumpkins on are the new bands list, and so are a few others.

These are both bands I haven't really heard much of, though I hear praise about A Perfect Circle sometimes. I can't really vote.

Ugh...I see you are into that "New Garage" crap. :p

lol. not quite got your labels right. but anywho.

much of that stuff is more a throwback to the good days of music. listening to some of that it has a much more feel of the older stuff. example, some of jet reminds me a bit of the stones.

a lot of the stuff today is basically all the same, then theres a lot that cant play at all and basically just beat on the instaments, and then scream at the top of thier lungs into the mic because they have no music voice at all. oh yea, talent there. :p hehe

Yes, I'm deffinatly planning to download some music from the bands you have posted. One of the best joys I get out of life is listening to new music that I havnt heard of before.

I was actually confused as to why there is no " Vines/Hives/ White Stripes/Strokes? None of the major "the" bands..

This music battle started in the old Music Usergroup. That was the privelage given to music usergroup members, they were allowed to give recommendations for what bands should be in the tourney.

No one recommended any of those.

I love 3 Doors Down. I've been to two of their concerts. Nickelback opened for them one show and Three Days Grace at the other.

Though I'm not very fond of either save for I Hate Everything About You by TDG.

A Perfect Circle, for sure. Awesome band. Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, and NIN people in one band. I love The Hollow, Weak and Powerless, 3 Libras, Orestes, Pet, etc..

Not too big a fan of 3 Doors Down

ZebraRampage

It looks like Vampyr forgot to put a closing time. I will just say that 3 Doors Down won.

I'll wait till 7:30, and if there is no sign of Vampyr, I'll make the New Bands poll.

They already lost. :\

I forgot to put the end date for this poll in or something, but it's technically over. It ended a few days ago.

I wish APC had won too, though.
