BOTS 8 Round 3 - 2007

[Loochblade]

You never truly know what the voters will do.

True, true. #BOTSLove

The main matchup I struggled with was Bloc Party vs. Plain White Ts. I really fucked with the Bloc Party song and had never heard it before. Went with Hey There Delilah because, although there was a time when I woulda considered it played out, it's been on the periphery long enough now that it's enjoyable to listen to again.

I ended up not voting for as much nostalgia as I expected tbh. I enjoy the things I listened to as a pre-teen which was this era, but a lot of it isn't stuff I kept on my playlists as I got older. The Seether vs MCR matchup was a good example, probs my hardest choice bc that Seether album was one of the first I ever bought and I didn't really care about MCR until years later

Seether is a group I honestly only ever cared for like 1 song of theirs. I've heard a few, didnt hate them, but didn't really like either

Weighty Ghost was also a nice discovery, good shout @Fuji Vice

I fucked with Seether's Careless Whisper cover from the same album a lot and didn't even know it was a cover for awhile lmao

 

[Hoss]

My 8th grade Mt. Rushmore of bands woulda been Seether, Linkin Park, Three Days Grace and Disturbed. I have nothing against these bands now, but current day me certainly isn't rushing to listen to any of the above anymore.

We would just break out singing this shit in class sometimes for a couple of years

We were probs listening to the same rock radio station so that checks out

I just didn’t realize the disdain people here have for MCR. I’ll definitely keep that in minds

I have no such disdain, I love My Chemical Romance. Not quite Fall Out Boy tier for me but certainly the next tier down.

 

[Professor Booty]

Oh I know a few of you are cool

I didn't expect near as many Radiohead votes as I got ngl lol thought I was actually gonna make the top 3 but 1991 will probably for sure kill my winning streak

Nah we didn't even have a station that really consistently played those bands at the time as far as I can recall. The college station of course peppered in some stuff but at this point I had already established this taste from PS2 games and MTV, and I was downloading MP3s and using some shit called Grooveshark to stream music when my internet wasn't dogshit.

Ah I could reach a Shreveport station that played current and classic rock. 98.9 or some shit I think. I used to listen to that shit with earbuds plugged into my alarm clock
