#3 Modern Rock Hits: 2009 to Present

Gross

I abstain because I've never heard of a single one of these songs.

Voting for Cage the Elephant here

Also, it's baffling that "Not Your Fault" peaked higher than "Sail" on this chart

I have to be honest, that list makes me want to kill myself

Young the Giant for me. That song hooked me in to their pretty good first album, still trying to get into the new one.

I never saw the Black Keys video until just now.

Hilarious. I was leaning towards it anyway but that clinches it.

I have not heard any of these songs.

The fixer is great

Yeah, I like that too.

Fixer ftw

Fixer, Black Keys, Cough Syrup well above most everything on this list.

That Keys video is awesome.

Can't believe we went from "Birdhouse In Your Soul" v "Shiny Happy People" v "Valerie Loves Me" vs "The Globe" to this mess.

Then again, I haven't heard any of these songs either, so it's more that I have a hard time believing I'd be interested in 2012 Green Day or 2009 Foo Fighters. But what do I know, if you guys all say this late-model Pearl Jam song is good I'll listen to it.

god i'd forgotten that stupid 'wheels' song. weird despite all the faux indie stuff that crossed over from modern rock to pop you don't really see any evidence of that here, mumfords is the only thing that even feels like a reaction to anything that's happened in the past ten years.

anyway this is 'the fixer' easy.

hmmm i voted "cough syrup"

even i cant rep for any of these

I loved "Lazy Eye" but didn't care for the other Silversun Pickups and stopped paying attention to them a few years ago. This one any good?

I could only get into lazy eye and panic switch. Couldn't find the hook in this one

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

'not your fault' was my #1 single of 2012

it still owns

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

maura otm abt AWOLnation...

re: Silversun Pickups. Am a p rabid fan of Royal We which is up there w Whirring as far as grunge-era throwbacks are concernee (and it shits on Yuck from a great height)...The Pit was kind of an electronic-tinged song wasn't it? Sort of in the same vein as Mouth and Ava Adore. I remember thinking it was garbage upon first listen, but might've changed my mind on it...?

totally missed this thread, didn't vote, damn

"The Fixer" is definitely my favorite, but "Lifeline" is a close 2nd -- never liked "Last Resort" but Papa Roach weirdly turned around and released a lot of good singles later in their career. "Not Your Fault" is my 3rd favorite of the 3 big AWOLNATION singles, but it's still pretty great. "The Pit" is the only Silversun Pickups song i like. and "Adolescents" and "Oh Love" are good.

that Cage The Elephant song is fucking awful. maybe the chorus "ain't no rest for the wicked/ money don't grow on trees/ I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed" is meant to be a self-aware vomit of cliches but it's probably just lazy writing? it's pretty impressive to be the worst song in a lineup that includes exceptionally bad 311 and Black Keys songs.

I do wonder about Cage the Elephant's self-awareness. Their newer stuff is so much different than this schlock.

Aww, I actually love all three of the big mod-rock hits from CTE's first album.

worst of the ones I've listened to from this poll is easily "21 Guns" imo, though that may change upon listening to that 311 song
