Finger Eleven.

[euphoricism]

Youre wlecome. Note that I did not link to "One Thing". Bitch song.

This band is the only reason we havent nuked Canada for NickelBack.

First Time - This is.. awesome incarnate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo5_41OArf8

Suffocate - Dont watch the vid. Some anime shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPYIMdSrc0Y

Slow Chemical - Don't watch the vid, just play it as background music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLrkKW1jcRk

Stay in Shadow - same thing, dont care about the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB9wE_Ms108

Quicksand - live version. Really cool, this ones reaaallll old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmDO6mlrjCw

Bones & Joints - this will be stuck in your head for hours. I apologize. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94lo7LB-TU4

Tip - live version. Probably from the same show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8rFt_d1LKg

Thousand Mile Wish - I dont know why this gets stuck in my head so often. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5X6sOr9HdA

Above - One of their weakest, but the chorus will kill you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKckrP8cANQ

Paralyzer - Their newest single. Unlike pretty much anything theyve done before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYGCT4AQIR0

Drag You Down - I love this song. I dont know why. It doesnt fit any other "song" mold http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fzx9pvazfE

Good times - Best for last. BEST for last. This will make you want to hit someone, and is a total BLAST live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1czGI7lxOnw

one thing is a decent song, if muchly overplayed. its alot like lips of an angel by hinder which you hate too, its just not the norm for that kind of band. finger 11 does rock though, ive liked them even through the slow shit :P

Are you kidding? One thing is the biggest hack of a song ever. This was a good band who tried to make a poppy mainstream song but are so fucking transparent. First time and suffocate are great songs.

All bands that want to make money have to bend over backwards to get their music recognized by the general public. It's a price you have to pay nowadays. MTV/VH1 are just not going to play the other 12 tracks on the CD.

The "buying" public is still 15 yr old girls and their parents.

They were relatively popular before that song. They could write a good song that could be mainsteam. Have you listened to the lyrics? It's so fake.

Keep in mind when bands sign a record deal they sign a contract that basically says 'x' amount of songs are essentially in the studio's hands. As in they pretty much have a producer create the song and the band just plays it for them whether they like it or not. You should hear some hit songs before a really good producer got his hands on them.

Its fun going to their concerts. They played with hinder and Black Stone Cherry (who has one of the best singers ive heard in LONG time. Too bad their songs suck) a month or so ago, and the majority of the place was 15 year old girls and their parents. But it was JAM PACKED.

And Finger Eleven opened with Quicksand (litle heavy) and Suffocate (awesome heavy). It was like the entire crowd had no idea what to do. One Thing for F11, and Lips of an Angel for Hinder made them rich, but fucked up their fan base.
