No, it will be "Oh My God."

The delivery of "They're trying to build a prison" in the Prison Song by SOAD is just a great opening to the album.

Demons to Lean On is awesome, but I'm partial to the title track. I feel like the chorus escalates a little better.

Random thought: the Foo Fighters are one band that I don't think need three people playing guitar. 

I'm waiting for Archie Powell & the Exports to break through.  I think their latest single got 20,000 views on youtube, which is a step up from the 8,000 or so on the first….yeah, they have a long way to go.

I'll always somewhat defend Linkin Park, because though the lyrics and rapping are terrible, I maintain that they've still made some great pop singles. 

Favorite performances? I liked Justin Timberlake's, and Kelly Clarkson's was an impressive display of talent, but my favorites were The Black Keys, who definitely benefited from the beefed up brass section (which was oddly lowered in the mix as the song went on, at least that I could tell), and Jack White was was just

The only Radiohead album I've heard is The Bends, and I love it. I'm a little afraid of being disappointed by OK Computer because of all the hype.

Who?

I personally like OS better, but I understand how the songcraft of Congratulations is on a whole other level than the debut.  The problem is that they abandoned the fun elements that made the singles so great.

Unless you don't like reverb drowned blah pop.

Japandroids, Cloud Nothings, Dinosaur Jr., and Tame Impala. I'm sold.

I was raised on the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, and The Presidents of the United States of America.  

@E.Buzz Miller  I believe Bad Day technically was a precursor to It's The End Of The World, but it wasn't released until later.

Am I the only AVclubber who doesn't mind their singles? Except for Jumper, fuck Jumper. The damn song is almost as ubiquitous as Wonderwall: every acoustic guitar douche learns to play it.

Its an unholy mashup of Nickelback and the worst parts of Avenged Sevenfold, matched with an insufferable image. 

This reminds me of the tantrums Wavvves fans throw whenever Wavves releases a listenable song.
