The video for At Your Funeral always makes me laugh. The lead singer looks about 12 years of age. He's like 5 ft tall.

yeah he looks pretty young in that video.. the funny thing is the cd that song is on is (at least) their third...putting his age at about 7 for the first cd..

Now THAT's impressive :mrgreen:

I vote for MGB as they're definitely my fave band after OLP... though some days I have to remind myself that it's not the other way around :roll:

Okay people... I'm pretty sure there are no other bands besides OLP... I mean, think about it... All those other "bands" are just OLP using computer technology to create more music...

Sheesh, you guys are gullible to think there could be "other bands"

Think about it...

:nod:

Did whoever started this poll ACTUALLY think it would work?

Just to name a <i>few</i> that I like more than OLP: At the Drive-In, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Clinic, Godspeed you black emperor!

You do have a choice from some very popular band. If in doubt, vote for Radiohead.

I cannot believe that Incubus, Better then Ezra, Dave Matthews Band and Finger Eleven are all beating Radiohead. Has the world gone mad? :lol:

Could be!

I still love Better Than Ezra :love:. I've liked them longer than I've liked Radiohead AND OLP.

I guess I haven't heard much by Better Than Ezra b/c the songs I know by them are kinda annoying... I don't know their names though. But I recently downloaded Beautiful Mistake by them and it's pretty good.
boo.

Yeah, Extra Ordinary...As a devoted fan, I can say that Extra Ordinary is AWEFUL. LOL. It's nice, but... Muu.

Let's just say Extra Ordinary is to BTE as Life is to OLP.
