Idk if they're pop punk, but they seem to fit the general mood of a lot of stuff that's made it so far, but I feel like there's gotta be a Me First and the Gimme Gimmes song in here.

Brand New - Jude Law and a Semester Abroad

[Jorge]

Guys, I know we don't think of them as any kind of "punk" band, but geez; musically, it's kind of hard to argue that this particular song doesn't share a LOT of elements with these 90s pop-punk songs

How do we feel about including...

Spoiler: show

Open to arguments for vs. against

[bodysnatcher]

i'd say no, it feels more alternative rock to me

[Jorge]

But is that just because you associate the band with that genre as opposed to pop-punk?

It's got the palm-muted chugga-chugga verses, it's got the high BPM, it's got the catchy melodies, it's got the big poppy major-chord chorus, it's got the angsty lyrics, it even has a very Blink 182-ish descending arpeggiated guitar hook

I feel like if it was someone else singing, most people wouldn't hesitate to call that a pop-punk song

[bodysnatcher]

that's way too much thought than i'm willing to dedicate to the foo fighters

[Norah]

Saves the Day—At Your Funeral

Looks like STD should be in this afterall. Now there are three people who have nominated this song.

[Norah]

no on monkey wrench

[LoathedVermin72]

I'd also say no Monkey Wrench

[Kevin Davis]

I think "Monkey Wrench" fits the bill -- musically anyway, perhaps not aesthetically.

"Up in Arms" really fits the bill, but that wasn't a single.

[Norah]

Foo Fighters will just be the Incubus of this tournament. Leave them out.

[bodysnatcher]

Nu Fighters

Nu Metal Tournament must finish before this one begins

and we need a 2-week grace period in between

we can't let this board be dominated by two crap-genre tournaments at the same time

that plus tree_'s live blogging of his entire life will just be too much for the RMainframe to handle

and there will be no time left to post homosexual innuendos

[Jorge]

Nu Metal Tournament must finish before this one begins

Yeah

and we need a 2-week grace period in between

No and shut up

[Jorge]

Foo Fighters will just be the Incubus of this tournament. Leave them out.

The question isn't about the Foo Fighters but about "Monkey Wrench", which fits pretty neatly. Also this is their only song I would include

[Norah]

Keep it out, imo.

[bodysnatcher]

i don't think people will be able to separate the two

Present your argument

[96583UP]

the 2 week grace period was just a bargaining tactic

all i want is nu metal to end before this begins

and now I got the HOFer to agree

muahahahahahahahahhahahahaha this is all paying into my hands

[96583UP]

foo fighters are a pop band dave grohl's rich kid upbringing was satiated by cobain's death and granted him carte-blanche to completely sell out unabated
