I've never heard of either group, so I won't vote this week.

Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:29 pm

The Fray, 'cause I've never heard of Gym Class Heroes.

Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:37 pm

The Fray. Obvious choice.

Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:37 pm

Gym Class Heroes because "How to Save a Life" is possibly one of the most annoying songs.. ever. That, and I do kinda like Gym Class Heroes.

Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:44 pm

Haven't heard of both of them so won't vote.

Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:51 pm

Wow...

The Fray, no competition at all. Finally something that I really like.

*twitches at the thought Gym Class Heroes*

The Fray.

Sun Jan 21, 2007 10:28 pm

The Fray - their album is good and I love "How To Save a Life."

She ran away, thinking she was too cool for <s>school</s> Versus, I guess. :P

As for voting... Haven't really heard of Gym Class Heroes, but I listened to some of their music a few minutes ago, and even if I'm not a fan of the Fray, I prefer them over GCH, I suppose.

Mon Jan 22, 2007 12:54 pm

The Fray, because I've never heard of GCH (and I like some of their songs anyways).

Mon Jan 22, 2007 2:40 pm

The Fray, never heard of Gym Class whatevers.
(Still waiting patiently for Nirvana, Sublime, Pearl Jam...)
