Hell yeah! I'll definitely vote in this one, I will need to relisten most of their albums though. Haven't listened to these guys in a while, but they've made some great stuff.

System Of A Down
Chop Suey would occupy slots 1-9 and Aerials at #10. That's about all I know from this band so far.

I haven't listened to System of a Down's albums in probably over ten years. I wonder how I'm going to react to their music as I'm not as huge on them now like I once was.

What the heck happened to these guys? Do they ever plan on recording new music again? I don't understand why bands like them and Tool just stop making music when they seem to be well established in their careers.

I'm probably the only one to not include "Chop Suey!" or "B.Y.O.B.". Can't stand either of them.

I didn't include B.Y.O.B. Very narrowly actually, this was a tough one. Toxicity unfortunately missed the boat too. My #1 is an album track from Toxicity

I've listened to their self-titled, "Toxicity," and parts of "Steal This Album!" So far. Without nostalgia, I doubt I'd really like them anymore. If they came out today, I'd have the biggest "WTF?!?!" reaction ever.

Finding it very difficultto cut down from Top 25, B.Y.O.B. already got eliminated on mine as well. Regretting not experiencing their live show yet.

So after listening to a ton of SOAD within the past few days, I've come to the conclusion that as a general rule, their more melodic stuff is way better then their more thrash metal/punk influenced stuff by a big margin. Mesmerize and Hypnotize are miles better then the rest of their of their albums -- which are good in their own right, don't get me wrong, but those two put it to shame (especially Mesmerize -- that album is gold). I'm not 100% done with my list yet but I don't think there's gonna be any Steal This Album, and there's just gonna be 1-2 songs from Self Titled and Toxicity on it, although one of the self titled songs is in the running for my #1 song on here. Also there a decent amount of their songs that I'm just burned out on because I've heard a ton (mainly the 3 hits of Toxicity) so I'm probably gonna try to listen to them with fresh ears to get a more accurate ranking, since they're all great songs.
Edit: Ended up surprising myself by including a whopping 5 Toxicity songs and no Hyponotize songs. If it was top 20 there would definitly be some Hyponotize songs on my list, but I realize they almost all sound better in the context of the album. Meanwhile I actually find Toxicity to be a very inconsistant album, but when it's good there's some great tracks produced. Overall my album makeup is: 1 System of a Down (though it did end up being my top song) 5 Toxicity 0 Steal This Album (nothing from this album really clicked with me, though if it was top 20 I can think of a couple songs from here that would sneak their way on) 4 Mesmerize (definitly their best album overall) 0 Hyponotize (to be honest I feel like Mesmerize does this type of sound better, however there are still some good songs on it and overall, it's much more of a complex album meant to be listened to as a whole then Mesmerize)

Pretty hard list to compile. Most songs tuned me out the first few seconds, but when they not screaming they can make some beautiful music. Discovered "Roulette". Wonder why that was never a hit?

Pulse Top 10s #21 - System Of A Down - Results
After 17 18 Pulse members sent in their selections, Aerials emerged as a close victor over Chop Suey!, Chop Suey! passed Aerials on the final ballot to claim ultimate victory. Toxicity finished a close third after trailing the leaders for most of the voting period. Toxicity was the clear favorite album with many of its tracks grabbing the top spots, but all of the albums had decent support from the panel.

Very surprised that BYOB only clocked in at #13, yet that made space for ATWA to crack into the top ten so that's good

Better refer to your greatest hits cds.

311 is my favorite all-time band and I throw them in there as a suggestion every time. I hope to do a tourney on them someday ☺
Macklemore would be interesting, but I'm not sure how variety you'd get on the list with only two albums.
I'm not sure I can name more than a few Prince or Cars songs from the top of my head.
I'm not a huge CTE fan, but I think I'd at least like 10 of their songs to make a list.
Chevelle would be awesome to do.

Surely people know 10 Prince songs? He had like 80 hits. besides, he's like The Beatles in that everyone needs to own at least 1 of his albums...if you don't yet, may i recommend his 2-disc greatest hits

Nine Inch Nails win the vote through a tiebreaker with blink-182, having more overall nomination points over the last 5 votes. blink should get their time in the sun soon, especially with a new album on the way. INXS drop off the ballot, only receiving two votes and losing the tiebreaker to The Cure. The replacements are newcomers Prince and Chevelle, both with a lot of momentum from nominations that can hopefully translate into votes. Just missing out on ballot access are Just outside ballot eligibility are 311, The White Stripes, Metallica, Limp Bizkit, and My Chemical Romance.
Full Results:Nine Inch Nails - 8 blink-182 - 8 Radiohead - 6 Jimmy Eat World - 5 Pearl Jam - 5 Death Cab For Cutie - 4 The Black Keys - 4 David Bowie - 4 The Cure - 2 INXS - 2
Here's the link to the Nine Inch Nails ballot!Voting closes Thursday, June 16th at Midnight EST. Thanks for all of your votes!

I would have preferred Blink 182 by a long shot. Not really into that Alternative Industrial sound of Nine Inch Nails. "Head Like A Hole" is the one that comes to mind.
