I'm writing my review for the new 21 Pilots record and FBR's power as a label is one of my starting points haha.

TBS would definitely be on my list, around 6 or 7. Yellowcard would make my cut too. My brain knows that Green Day is #1 followed by Blink, but my heart cannot put Green Day above Blink-182 ever.

I don't think Fun. deserves that high of a placement. I don't really view them as a scene band, really. Sure, they have roots with older bands in this scene, but they're pretty much a pop act. They've had a couple super catchy songs that went mainstream.

It is still very early in their life as a band, and they don't come close to bands like Jimmy Eat World and Fall Out Boy in regards to scene relevancy. It'll take more than having a big single that sold well on iTunes and got used in some commercials to convince me they deserve to be on this list.

6 if you count JEW.

Damn, your edit got me!

Haha.

Yellowcard is flirting with it too:

I'd say Blink would be #1. Simply for the fact whenever they are mentioned on the site it blows up the threads.

I would also have to add All Time Low to that list. Prolly around #5-6

I'd put Yellowcard instead of Gym Class Heroes, but besides that I agree with the list.

pop-punk/emo/alt scene that a lot of us came from.

Simple Plan, maybe? They sure became a huge mainstream success, and drank from the pop-punk/warped tour scene fountain back in the day.

Ocean avenue had a lot mainstream success. At least where i grew up in Indianapolis.

All Time Low are big in terms of the scene but they haven't broke into mainstream.

Their insane success is hard to debate right now. They're just massive. Tours, album is still selling 24k a week, and Nate's finally getting the credit for the songwriter he's always been.

Wrong measurement.

I know not many people are still fans of them on this site, but Cobra Starship could be considered.

I'd say "My Friends Over You" is their biggest hit? Maybe? And it never felt like it quite got the same mainstream explosion as most of the other bands' "huge" single did.

fun. may not even be in the running for to ten a few years later, they haven't been a "big" band for even 12 months yet so it's projection to an extent.

Anberlin and Dropkick Murphys had some huge singles.

Death Cab for Cutie plays big venues. Bright Eyes.

Just throwing out names to consider for a various lists of this type.

Ahh, some very important names here. AFI headlined Bamboozle, I believe - that's a pretty huge deal.

And what about Jack's Mannequin?

Definitely think Anberlin deserves a Top 10 slot - They had a #1 Rock Single.
