Paramore, for two reasons.

1: Hayley rules because she has an As Cities Burn shirt. She wore it on Warped Inside and Out.
2: If I hear I Dare You one more time, I'm going to kill myself.

[Twitchy]

Shinedown.

Suggested people:
Garbage
Alanis Morissette.

[Bangel]

Shinedown is probably in my top three favorite bands, Paramore is... not?

[Dragonfire]

... Who are these bands? Never heard of them...

Luckily, I have iTunes open, so I listened to some of their songs, and I like Shinedown better.

[Jasujo]

I like Shinedown more.

[Ammer]

Haven't heard of either but after listening to them both, I'll go with Paramore.

[halfbakedbliss]

Paramore, Shinedown is the devil.

[Kugetsu]

I'd have to say Shinedown, easily.

[Zero!]

Haven't heard of nor listened to either. I guess I'll hold back from voting this time. Boo.

[Bangel]

2: If I hear I Dare You one more time, I'm going to kill myself.

Or you could just, you know, change the radio station...

[thelilbear]

Definitely Shinedown, hands down.

[EvilPickle]

Paramore, because I've never heard of Shinedown.

fueled by ramen > atlantic.
Not to mention, Paramore is just better.
