Hoobastank - "Running Away"


P.O.D. - "Youth of the Nation"

lol these songs...YOTN because I kinda like the deep, spacey guitar (or is it bass?)

Another cow shit vs. horse shit round.

POD I guess, that song was in Aggressive Inline too, the most nu extreme sports video game.

Anything with a kids' choir automatically gets docked a letter grade, as does anything with dreadlocked white guys referring to guns as "gats." Since the song would get an "F" independent of either of these things, I have to give the round to Hoobastank, since it is only *merely* an "F," rather than an off-the-charts "H."

I've actually never heard this Hoobastank song.

It's fucking awful and I'm still voting for POD, but this was the first song I've never heard so far.

Wow really? It was on the radio all the time in my neck of the woods.

We are, we are, we

I always thought Hoobastank was a passable JV version of Incubus. I can't take POD.

so many dreadlocked white guys in these bands

Some of the commentary on "Youth of the Nation" is a little on the nose, but it still rings with relevance. It's also got a bit of groove to it, which "Running Away" is lacking.

"Running Away" is pretty boring and could have come from any number of bands contemporary with Hoobastank. So, "Youth of the Nation" is getting my vote.

Not sure The Hoob should be in this tourney, so I'll vote for POD.

Because their name sucks so bad, right?

Running Away: Not great... but I kinda like this song. I wouldn't change the station while driving. I might change it at the bridge then change it back when nothing better is on.

Youth of The Nation makes me cringe from the get-go.

YOTN is cooler than I remember.

Hoobastank wins this one easily for me

Never heard either of these before, but easy vote for Youth of the Nation.

YOTN is beyond terrible. Classic nu-metal.

I want to get most of KD's posts in this forum tattooed on my body somewhere.
