From the Bracket to Your Stereo (The NFG Bracket) Bracket • Page 17

Like it belongs on a Mt Rushmore with Dammit and I'm not sure what two others exactly

I'm mad it's losing lol

 

Though I really like the two

I'll still pick My Friends Over You.

8)

 

if I had to pick one song that I think I have heard the most out of any other song in existence from iTunes and iPod listens, Spotify listens, my Sony Walkman CD player listens, listening to on vinyl, blasting it in the car, heard live, coming on randomly on playlists and mixtapes.... out of everything combined it's probably been My Friends Over You (and to be fair Understatement is probably close behind).

I have heard it so many times and it hasn't worn on me at all. there are definitely songs from their discography and even S&S that I enjoy more now, but that song was a literal game changer for me and it still sounds just as good today as it did back in 2002.

only reason I went with Understatement is the feeling that song gives me when I hear it live every time because it's usually what they open their set with. both songs are great and it was a hard choice

 

My Friends Over You

Arguably the greatest and most iconic pop-punk song of all time.

 

Understatement

Very easy choice for me.

 

Understatement.

It's not as iconic, but for the purposes of this bracket, I had to pick it. Could be the toughest matchup between 2 songs that we will see.

 

Are you voting for MFOY then?

 

CURRENT SCORES

Understatement: 10
My Friends Over You: 6

 

I think you have to include a Green Day song either Basket Case, When I Come Around or Good Riddance and I don’t know what the 4th would be. Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous by Good Charlotte maybe? Seeing Red by Unwritten Law? Sugar We’re Going Down by Fallout Boy? Good topic for conversation in another thread.

 

Understatement


first NFG song I ever heard.

 

My Friends Over You

Understatement is great, but as @Anthony_ said, My Friends Over You is arguably the greatest and most iconic pop-punk song of all time.

 

Understatement

 

Fat Lip

 

This would be my choice for sure

 

CURRENT SCORES

Understatement: 12
My Friends Over You: 7

 

When I Come Around and Fat Lip make sense to me

 

I’m mad at myself for not thinking of Fat Lip. Good call.

 

These two are pretty iconic as well.

 

Never heard that first one

 

Well check it out!
I would also go so far as to say early No Doubt is iconic in the early pop punk scene.

 

My Friends Over You

 

Understatement

 

Understatement

 

My Friends Over You

Flawless pop punk track.

 

End of Sticks and Stones bracket

Understatement: 14
My Friends Over You: 9 (10 if we're counting @DickyCullz 's post as a vote)

Understatement wins Sticks and Stones and joins the other champions.
