Surprised one hasn't been released with The Sex Is Good showing signs of decline. If they want another ballad, Angel Without Wings seems obvious. I'm vote for Tap Out I guess.

I think their best shot would be "Angel Without Wings" (cross-over appeal and it's a good song) or the title track.
I thought "Tap Out" was going to be epic according to the intro, but when he started singing, it was not at all epic anymore >:(

I will agree on the DinoDevin's statement about "Angels Without Wings"

I think the title track may be next. My station played it on their 'hit or diss' segment today. I voted for "Bloody Sunday" but hearing this song, I actually like it a decent amount.

That would be better than "Tap Out", I suppose. "I'm Still Alive" would also be adequate.

...music....music.....music ... and that comment was about music. You said something along the lines of "Miss America is good, but I prefer Tap Out". Looks like it will be "Miss America" btw. Probably not cock-rock enough for Artie.

Cock-Rock is:
1) A song that describes sex or sexual acts that intentionally or unintentionally degrades women. 2) A song about fighting, toughness, cockiness, drinking, doing drugs, etc...

Supposedly what Rope is about. We'll see I haven't heard the entire thing yet.

I'd add that there's a certain sound to a cock rock song too. While it is certainly content-driven, I think a certain "straight up rock & roll" or "wrestler metal" aesthetic also helps to qualify a song under the header of cock rock.

Well, if that's the criteria for a made-up genre of songs, The Rollings Stones, Def Leppard, and Mötley Crüe immediately come to mind. And a few Nickelback songs.

Rev Theory and Pop Evil are on the outskirts. Rev Theory more so with their last album. Justice and their Revelation Theory days would definitely not qualify. And My Darkest Days' first two singles have shown that they're aiming for cock rock in terms of marketing even if their album in general aims at other forms of active rock. That said, Saving Abel, Nickelback, Buckcherry, Theory Of A Deadman, and even Hinder manage to have songs that are not cock rock on their cocky albums.

Nine Inch Nails would under no circumstances qualify as cock rock. Partly because they're debatably not a rock band. More, because Trent's approach to sexual themes tends to be a bit more intellectual/dramatic and less sleazy/care-free.

Maybe not Nine Inch Nails as a band, but Closer should be the standard for the "cock-rock" singles. No, because it still sounds like an industrial song whereas cock rock sounds like generic meat and potatoes.

I was going with Rise Against Devin's #1 definition. Closer nails it exactly.

Also, the idea of having fucking someone like an animal getting him closer to God is a much more provocative idea than anything a cock rock band would muster.

Ranks right up there with Buckcherry's Crazy Bitch I guess. Both catchy enough, but will always suffer from the vulgarity.

ERG get the singles right 99% of the time. They're far more reliable than say, Billboard when it comes to that.

That is a completely made up statistic it appears. Oh yeah, Billboard gets theirs right 103% of the time! Seriously though, it's already at a max of 86% correct for that list. You keep your sources, I'll keep mine.
As for Miss America, I think this will keep their perfect streak of top tens in tact.

Yeah, and you'll keep posting threads for non-singles like "Hopeless". I'm guessing this thread is being used so, ur.... goes for adds March 8th.
