Modern Rock #2 Hits, Pt. 5: The Nu Metal Years (2000–04)

'Stand Inside Your Love' is by miles the best thing on this list, so that.

voted for "the rock show," a song i can yell from memory, but i was sort of into that "boys of summer" cover as a concurrent teen

xgau on "schism"

Lateralus [Volcano, 2001]
What am I supposed to say about the latest in meaning-mongering for the fantasy fiction set? That they are not as good as King Crimson? That I do not like my Billy Cobham comp even less? That this is not progress? That I am not a virgin? All of the above. Plus I never liked Crimson much to begin with. C

what am i supposed to say about the latest black flag sticker on a cadillac

i am literally the only person on earth who loves light grenades but yeah, that's a great record

"Anna Molly" and "Dig" were great singles, if either comes up in any of these polls it's getting my vote. never listened to the album a lot but it seemed as good as any Incubus record.

I still wind up my best friend about him loving The Offspring as much as he did back then.

I'll bet this really hurts his self esteem

idk why some people got so exercised by the black flag lyric, it probably annoyed don henley and that's good enough for me

i think it's hilarious

I was singing "Black Flag sticker" for years before that cover xp

don't know/have forgotten all these others

don't think I'm familiar with a single one of these songs

Me neither.

Also, "Oil & Water" and "Diamonds & Coal." Incubus gets elemental.

Oh man Blink is going to get hurt so bad due to vote splitting
By the way the correct answer is ROCK SHOW as I determined from listening to all four of these entries back to back on Youtube

I think I would rank the five Blink #2s (including the one from previous poll) as:

1. What's my age again?
2. Feeling this
3. Adam's song
4. Man overboard
5. The rock show

"What's My Age Again?" > "Feeling This"/"The Rock Show" > "Man Overboard"/"Adam's Song"

Too difficult for me to give each song an individual ranking, and if one were to throw in "Stay Together for the Kids" with them that would be even tougher

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Oh well, at least it wasn't a Blink-182 track.

Expected "Sweetness" to win, but the turnout for "With Arms Wide Open" actually surprises me more than "Schism" getting the most votes.

it probably annoyed don henley and that's good enough for me

Really good showing, although I haven't heard that Pumpkins track.
