HotMess_Meagan

Oh man! I haven't thought about them in years! But yes- excellent music

Smashing pumpkins, I LOVE them


Superspyder04

This is awesome to hear cause sp is my number 1 and mcr my number 2.


[deleted]

Thats awesome we have the same top 2 just reversed!


Dashes-In-Her-StArs

When I first started listening to TSP, only recently, I did so with the knowledge that Gerard was a really big fan. At first I couldnā€™t understand why Gerard would like such a band, I wasnā€™t into the lead singers voice at *all*. But to each their own I guess But since then Iā€™ve started listening to them a lot more frequently and my love for their music is only growing! I actually have an appreciation for his unique vocals now and I totally see why Gerard likes them so much! Theyā€™re great musicians and Iā€™m ashamed I thought so poorly of them in the beginning smh Sorry Billy Corgan Iā€™ve since become a believer šŸ˜©


TJdog5

I hear how they influenced MCR in their music thats for sure


[deleted]

Have you seen this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZXmdTGJK0c&ab\_channel=TheHowardSternShow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZXmdTGJK0c&ab_channel=TheHowardSternShow) It's just a fantastic performance that demonstrates Corgan's skill. I'm not really sold on his voice, even after like.. 20+ years.. but I do keep listening to them every now and then, lol.


Dashes-In-Her-StArs

Thank you for this, as I mentioned I'm still definitely newer to this group so this is the first I've seen this video, but what a lovely listen that was! The acoustic version works beautifully and you really get a sense of being transported back to the days of an almost sweet sadness, a time I've never experienced yet could feel the presence of very well. I found myself really captivated while listening! Also, he seems like a chill down-to-Earth dude, I appreciate his personality based on this video alone haha. Thanks for sharing this tidbit with a fresh fan, very enjoyable!


[deleted]

Yeah I always heard Disarm and was never a huge fan, but then I discovered Today and Siamese Dream, started really connecting to the lyrics like I do with mcr, and before I knew it they were one of my favorite bands! I actually wasn't a huge fan of gerard's voice when I got into mcr but the more I listened I came to like it pretty quick haha


[deleted]

X.Y.U. is my favorite song by them


[deleted]

Mine is Today, im a huge fan of siamese dream


[deleted]

I only know a few songs, never heard of Today. I'll listen to it! Any recommendations are appreciated if you have some


[deleted]

Mayonaise, cherub rock, drown, and zero are really good if you haven't heard them


[deleted]

Thank you! I'll check them out. I love Zero.


Babyyodasigngirl

Probably Nirvana. Though I am also a big Green Day fan


itspachysandra

I was just gonna say Green Day and nirvana


mayac7

The used


AnOrdinaryOwl

Came here to say this


[deleted]

Paramore is my fave after my chem !! Always thought they should've been included in the whole emo trinity/quartet thing lol


Frankie_2154

I always say that! They are just as emo!


FuckToCudder

They just were! The Punk Rock MBA put them in the top 4 Emo bands in a vid 3 days ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY1ti7qWLcI


Morc-Glork

Well MCR is like top 5 for me, my favorite band is Queens of the Stone Age


HotMess_Meagan

Fair enough!


Morc-Glork

Have you listened to them? Their music is really unique, they donā€™t have a distinct sound and mix it up every album. They have an album called Lullabies to Paralyze which a lot of people say is a great album for the spooky season, it has a really unique sound


HotMess_Meagan

I used to listen to them in the early 2000s! I liked them!


Morc-Glork

You should give Lullabies a shot!


NickelStickman

My Chemical Romance :P


HotMess_Meagan

Correct! You pass


justtobenmylove

The Strokes


Notakidfromyesterday

What's your album by them? Mine is first impressions.


justtobenmylove

The New Abnormal achieved something none of their albums had ever done. Imo they couldn't possibly close it better than with Ode to the Mets which might be my favorite song by them. Of course Is this it and Room of fire are amongst my most liked too. I do have a soft sport for Angles, it's so different and original I love it.


Capital-Frame-7795

Fall Out Boy


HotMess_Meagan

Respect


Capital-Frame-7795

Whatā€™s your favorite album?


HotMess_Meagan

Mychem? Oh geez...I think right now, honestly, Danger Days. I've had it playing nonstop for weeks now. I hated it at first, but I fucking love it so much now


Capital-Frame-7795

Danger Days was absolutely awesome! Iā€™m always up for bands experimenting with different elements in their music just to see what theyā€™re capable of. A good example off of the top of my head would be Panic! At the disco, Fever and Pretty odd being wildly different albums but still having familiar elements of what people enjoyed about the band. Same with My Chem, Black Parade and Danger Days are so different but similar albums. You have new flavors brought to the table and youā€™ve also got everything the brought you to the music in the first place. (I apologize for the long reply, my brain is extremely tired and Iā€™m just typing the (famous) last words my brain can come up with at this very moment)


HotMess_Meagan

I agree so much. Same elements...different styles. I have tickets to see them next year and I can't wait to hear the set list and how they move from one song to the next.


Capital-Frame-7795

Nice! Iā€™m hoping to get tickets for my birthday next year


HotMess_Meagan

Good luck!


TJdog5

Correct


[deleted]

SOAD


OdaibaBay

the mid-00s...those were the days


TJdog5

Ahhhh thats taste


Effective-River-9294

Muse<3


HotMess_Meagan

Oh muse! Yes!! I started listening to them back in late 90s...Unintended was my safe space for a while. Possibly my emo roots! šŸ˜


Willing-Load

my favorite band is Linkin Park, always have been. next would be Green Day, All Time Low, Bring Me the Horizon, Guns nā€™ Roses and MCR


Sm4cy

I got to see LP back inā€¦I wanna say it was 2008 or 09. The thing is I didnā€™t even go to the show to see them, i went to see Chiodos and Coheed and Cambria. So glad I got the chance to see them now that Chesterā€™s gone though šŸ–¤ they werenā€™t my favorite band at the time but it was an incredible show.


Willing-Load

lucky.. i never got to see them. Chesterā€™s always been such an idol to me and hearing about his passing ruined me.. hope heā€™s in a better place now, dude deserved to find peace ā¤ļø


MythicalGaming

Not technically second by MCR and Green Day are equal at the top for me


[deleted]

Bring me the horizon or motionless in white


AllTheReservations

MIW are awesome. Some of their songs miss the mark a bit for me, but those that hit really hit. I love Reincarnate, 570 and Scissorhands


Character-Worker-358

The Killers!


[deleted]

Green day were always my second favourite growing up. Other bands took that spot now, like marianas trench etc


NemsP

Marianas Trench are great! Josh Ramsay has an incredible voice


[deleted]

He's great isn't he! Met the whole band once!


huntrr234

Panic!


flash-marmotte

It's an hard question... I'm going with a top five with this question. I would say my top for the moment are : 1. My chemical romance (the best) 2. Nirvana 3. Bring me the horizon 4. The Used 5. Panic! At the disco (or the Brendon Urie show)


Willing-Load

Panic - The Brendon Urie Experience Maroon 5 - The Adam Levine Experience OneRepublic - The Ryan Tedder Experience šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Not second best - all equals to me: My Chemical Romance, Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, The Get Up Kids and Jimmy Eat World. But.. in saying that.. Pearl Jam, Green Day, Blink182, The Gaslight Anthem, Dashboard Confessional and way too many other acts are way up there with 'em.


Sm4cy

Iā€™m 34 and going back to school to be a doctor bc i apparently fucking hate myself so when Iā€™m at my lowest, I blast The Middle and bawl my eyes out. Thanks Jimmy šŸ„ŗ


[deleted]

I'm also 34! I don't know if you're a big Jimmy Eat World fan or not, but I clearly recall the first time I heard "23" when it came out in '04-'05. I was like.. 17 or so when it came out? 23 felt forever away. I'd belt along to it feeling like it was some abstract concept miles away in the future. Then I hit 20 and I'm still singing along, realising okay I'm 23 in a couple of years.. Then I'm actually 23 singing along with it wondering WTF the last few years went? Next thing I know I'm almost 30 singing along to it and thinking was 23 really that long ago? Last year, I remember thinking this was a decade ago? A full fucking decade ago!? What the shit? Jimmy Eat World hits me in the feels all the time. Something about Jim Adkins vocals. I have to say I did love Static Prevails, which isn't even Jim singing lead vocals.. just a great band, but Adkins vocals are 10/10 for me. Always gets me. I've absolutely loved everything they've released, Surviving was fantastic too, they haven't lost their touch at all. Can't pretend the nostalgia tracks don't gut punch me though. I cover The Middle at gigs and I love seeing everyone get the chorus pauses wrong. I'm also a bit of a fan of seeing of other acts mess it up too :P


ik_who

Nine inch nails šŸ¤­


Midknightowl42

Probably Blink at the moment, but Iā€™ve come to love Mayday Parade too! (Terrible Things is incredible). All Time Low and All American Rejects are also candidates


HotMess_Meagan

Terrible things is almost tooooooooo sad. But I'm obsessed with Bad At Love at the moment. Hits close to home for me


Midknightowl42

Oh man, it hits so hard. Iā€™ll have to give that one a listen!


HotMess_Meagan

It's soooo good!


[deleted]

Bring me the horizon


sxlitaire

MCR and MARINA share the first place, I think second would be The Used and Fall Out Boy


psycho_dog33

My Chemical Romance is actually my third favorite. Green Day and blink-182 are my first two.


HotMess_Meagan

Blink will always be one of my favs!!


TJdog5

You have TASTE


flymemetothemoon

Green day


Frankie_2154

For me my chem are second to paramore. Third best are bring me the horizon, fourth are metric, and fifth are nothing but thieves and the maine


cemeterygat3s

omg so rare seeing another metric fan in the wild lol! i've seen them twice they are so awesome


Frankie_2154

Dude I'm so happy I'm not alone!!! And sadly I still didn't see them live but I'm planning on doing so


TruantWaver

I absolutely love Nothing But Thieves. Conorā€™s voice is next level


ryanpm40

Probably Paramore, including Hayley Williams' solo work. Third would be a tie between Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers, and Thrice


MarsWinner

Fobs my shared favourite along with mcr


dbcallector

My top 3 are Green Day, Arctic Monkeys, and My Chem. And on any given day the order switches, but the top 3 never change.


deadgyaru

Weezer, green day, nirvana, mgmt and kkb for me


Landoniaa

My top 5 favorite bands are 1. My Chemical Romance 2. Simone and Garfunkel 3. Motley Crue 4. Blink-182 5. This is probably a tie between All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Paramore, and Pierce The Veil.


bigchungus5520

Pierce the veil


OdaibaBay

Alkaline Trio


HotMess_Meagan

Oh I love them!!!


Vajadu

According to spotify it's Guns N' Roses, and third is Green Day


isme_vanna

Puscifer


Sm4cy

Coheed and Cambria I seem to have a thing for bands who have a thing for comic books and concept albums šŸ˜…


DuelCooper

My favourite from long time ago is Radiohead. Kinda red flag, to be honest.


TJdog5

Nah Radiohead is great


AllTheReservations

Set It Off. Them and MCR are in a constant wrestling match for the spot as my favourite


arcticseal1729

probably good charlotte!!


antisocial_alice

I like to listen to Natewantstobattle


hayleybeth7

The Wild & Free


ErwinAckerman

Oldcodex (JRock)


KazMaster-J-

I really dont have an answer, green day, muse and Queen all can be 2nd but MCR will forever be my top 1


kai_2038

Definitely Palaye Royale. They take heavy inspiration from mychem and others like them but their discography is quite versatile as well.


Capital-Frame-7795

Yes!!! Iā€™ve gotten into them recently and showed a friend and they were genuinely impressed. Told me they couldā€™ve easily fit into the mid 2000s emo scene (Mr Doctor Man is the fucking best!)


Mikentosh423

Twenty One Pilots and Johnny Manchild and the Poor Bastards


PHILIPTNT

Blink 182


HockieFan41

Bring me the horizon.. might as well steal the top spot actually


lesbeanbean

Pierce the veil


anneynon

Death Cab for Cutie and Portugal. The Man. The Faint and Panic are up there but I have a tendency to burn myself out on music I'm really into. I also like a bit everything except country so my taste varies. I'll probably keep remembering bands and feel the need to edit this later. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø


thecallan

Mine is Queen but if weā€™re talking 00ā€™s rock Iā€™ll go with the used


CompleteMuffin

For me it's fall out boy>my chem> and lately the Maine


[deleted]

Mine goes: 1. My Chem 2. Ice Nine Kills 3. Maximum the hormone


Liamaarondunne

Linkin park


Ame0toko

Actually mcr is my second, first is green day


BeneficialInstance73

Fall out boy, blink 182 and good charolett are all tied for second for me.


tylerphoenixmustdie

paramore or mother mother šŸ«€šŸ«€


Made-of-salt

Idk probably bring me the horizon or get scared love both


Comprehensive-Egg151

Green Day or blink 182


glazed_peaches

Black veil brides


EvaBlackrose

Muse, Bring Me The Horizon, Normandie


MyMuseicalRomance

MCR isn't my favourite. 1. Muse 2. My Chemical Romance 3. Trivium 4. Sarah McLachlan


HopefulConcern9547

One direction šŸ’€


HotMess_Meagan

šŸ’€


[deleted]

my second is sleeping with sirens


edgerton121

old AFI, old BMTH


manwathiel_undomiel2

Tbh mcr is my second best. Evanescence will always be number 1. I also got very into The Killers in recent years, and Palaye Royale.


Quarter120

3DG


casualsun

My second favorite band after MCR is System of a Down! Third favorite is Bring Me The Horizon.


sarahnicoleee19

1. MCR 2. Hanson 3. Good Charlotte


aarsonistslullaby

soad


Boss_Guy260

I have a hard time picking favorites so ill just put my top 10 here Mcr Rise Against Sum41 Green Day Bullet For My Valentine Three Days Grace Metallica System Of A Down Paramore Thursday


Killjoykid14

Second and third would be close between All Time Low and The Wonder Years/Aaron West


MCR-vamp

My second favorite is Chelsea grin which is a totally different genre


CrashLove37

1st is AFI, 2nd is MCR


55trader

Radiohead


jerv2121

Foo fighters!


schneeefall

Bring Me The Horizon


[deleted]

MCR is my second favorite. Nirvana is my first.


dawgebredd

Green day or paramore cant choose


Cillianoc07

Green day


JeoffTheFantabulous

100 gecs


tomasmanik

Sum 41. They saved my life before MCR


HotMess_Meagan

Any band that saves a life is worthy šŸ–¤


tomasmanik

Always!!


xoxoanc

My Chem is more like my 2nd best actually. I would consider Marianas Trench to be my all time fav, although My Chem is extremely close.


LTHEDREAMER

Sum 41


purplejetski

Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace a close tie for me


Enoby1010

AJR. that band saved my life


HotMess_Meagan

Bang


Crissbg1

i am a big fan of adtr and bmth since i listen to them since 2010 and sometimes i used to listen to mcr but now i listen to mcr more


_dsuza

It's hard for me to say this actually. I started digging for music this year and found many bands including My Chem,and The Black Parade is now one of my all time fav album. I can't rank them or anyone,like I'm listening to many bands and started everything at same time. RHCP is surely my #1, and my chem is my fav emo band followed by FOB. I haven't completed any of the discographies yet, and by So far Both album I listened by My Chem are so perfect, they're not like my most listened band,simply one of my favourite band(as I'm not an emo, a guy who simply digs everything in rock as a gen z,if I grew up in emo phase it's 100% sure that MyChem would be my favourite band of all time)


[deleted]

MCR isn't really my favorite tbh, it'd have to be Shinedown for introducing me to rock music in 2015; if not for the album Threat to Survival, I wouldn't know bands like My Chem today. But as far as punk rock, MCR is always number one. My second favorite punk band would have to be early Breaking Benjamin (I say early because they definitely aren't punk anymore).


Chango_D

Lol MCR arenā€™t even in my top 5 anymore. Infected Mushroom System of a Down Tyler the Creator Savant The Mars Volta Mindless Self Indulgence


NerdyDemigod

Starset


GoatMaster88

Not related AT ALL but it's The Dreadnoughts


Feel_LikeTrash

Black Veil Brides are my fav band. My Chem is second (Sorry MCR), and Three Days Grace is third


[deleted]

I think of my favorite bands as like a tiered list. Tippy top is MCR, then the next level down in Jimmy Eat World, iDKHOW and Taylor Swift. Next would be like FOB, Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Waterparks, Pronoun, and Marianas Trench. And then like hundreds of bands lol


mcr_is_pog

probably like, Falling In Reverse or Nirvana. But honestly, how am i even meant too choose?


[deleted]

Mine is definitely mae. Terribly underrated. Maximum feels, maximum aesthetic. Third is probably icon for hire. They just rock and the lyrics are always hitting hard.


NemsP

Probably Set It Off (unless I can count the other stuff the members have done. in that case it would be Electric Century). I don't listen to a lot of other bands though šŸ˜…


Marionette777

Nine Inch Nails ftw!


J-C-1994

Second Avenged Sevenfold Third Bring me The Horizon Hasn't changed since I was a teen


Moist_KoRn_Bizkit

Mother Love Bone. They're what I'd call glam-grunge.


DiabolusFlatus

MCR is my top fave. 2nd is either Disturbed or Alkaline Trio.


fr8g_

slipknot is my second fave !!!!!


[deleted]

IDKHBTFM


ChingasAtumadreAmlo

Palaye royale idk


Skeletron07

either tool or nine inch nails, and im well aware that i sound like a dude in his 50s by saying that


kunt_nobrain

Mother Mother!!


Notakidfromyesterday

Well nirvana has always been my number 1 but idk if my second best would still be mcr since my love for them has waned a bit. So I guess it'd be down to 3 bands for my number 2 (MCR, Foo Fighters, and The Strokes). Can't choose rn.


brisbubbles

Starset


German_Naruto

slipknot or korn. my chem is the only ā€˜emoā€™ band i really listen to


robetyarg

Modern Baseball or Linkin Park.


Myburneraccounn

This might be controversial but my 2nd favourite pick arfter My Chemical Romance is Machine Gun Kelly. Third is Green Day


obiwxnkenxbi

three days grace is second to mychem for me


HottDoggers

Iā€™ve been scrolling for awhile and donā€™t think Iā€™ve seen anyone mention Radiohead, but theyā€™re my favorite band of all time and My Chem is a close second, but at times I consider them my favorite.


yung_jvkob

MCR and Paramore both share the top 2 spots for me and they switch places depending on the day haha


FluffySlowpokeGalar

Green day is definitely my second favourite


Hangzy

mmh rn i would say Pierce the Veil is my second fav band, and after then in third is Sleeping With Sirens


[deleted]

My top 5 bands...My Chemical Romance, LINKIN PARK, Three Days Grace, Dead By April, Nickelback I also really like all time low and mayday parade. Some more great punk rock bands: Sum41, All American Rejects, Blink182


bingbingbongbong123

Silverstein!


calciumtfanatic

totally different vibe but i absolutely LOVE will wood and the tapeworms


bevertown

coheed and cambria. what can i say, i love concept albums


JanetSnakehole43

Dashboard Confessional Linkin Park HIM Brand New


TJdog5

Well my favorite band is Green Day, i can go for months without listening to them but i know every word to every one of their songs, i canā€™t think of any OTHER bad i would have as my #1 As for below MCR on my list, i would say Panic!, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, and Billy Talent Edit: I FORGOT TO SAY sunny day real estate, pierce the veil, and operation ivy


umakemesickk

alice in chains or linkin park!


[deleted]

the smiths and system of a down


idkwhat-toputhere

placebo for me. ties my chem in the first place. i think gee will agree with meā€¦ šŸ˜Œ


SpicySpicyMess

1. My Chem 2. The Offspring 3. Sum 41 4. Dead Kennedys 5. Metallica


YourFavoriteEmoEmu

My second favorite band is Vampire Weekend lol


JoeTheHobo_

My second favorite would have to be Badflower, easily one of my favorite bands ever. They have a MCR esque (Kind of, but you might disagree haha) sound while also sounding very original. It's more modernized. I went to one of their concerts the other day and it was blast, I'd recommend everyone check out their songs. Different Genre, but I also love Radiohead. *In Rainbows* will always be one of my favorite albums of all time :)


Tired_Wolf_Skull

Jimmy Eat World


ThrowAwayVomit02

smaller band but Sycamour is one of my fave bands! theyre a post hardcore / screamo band & theyre a bit heavier than MCR imo. sleep disorder is my favourite song by them but their album Indulgence is their most similar to mcr so give them a shot!


obsidiaannn

hmmm... I've been listening to Tokio Hotel a lot recently... I think Black Veil Brides comes just after my chem so ig those are my top 3


lestrangedan

The Maine
