I tagged him, but he didn't respond (he is online now), so I'm going to do it again. Web, what's our next artist?

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around too much to update this, my summer got incredibly busy and I had to let this go for a bit to keep up. I'll open the next artist's poll tomorrow and then resume the regular schedule.

After a month-long hiatus, Pulse Top 10s resumes just past the 1-year anniversary of the first Foo Fighters vote. blink-182 is the lucky winner in their 14th attempt at a vote, likely boosted by the release of California. 311 sadly gets no votes and drops off again, replaced by newcomer Gorillaz and returning duo The White Stripes. Sitting just outside the ballot hoping there isn't another month-long hiatus are A Perfect Circle, 311, Metallica, The Cars, and AFI.
Full Voting Results:blink-182 - 7 Death Cab For Cutie - 5 The Cure - 5 Prince - 4 Chevelle - 4 Cage the Elephant - 3 Jimmy Eat World - 3 The Black Keys - 3 David Bowie - 2 311 - 0
Here's the Blink ballot!Voting closes Monday, August 15th at Midnight EST.

Yay! I'm seeing them tonight with A Day To Remember and All-American Rejects.
I've been a huge fan of theirs since the "Dude Ranch" days, so I can't imagine how difficult it's going to be for me to fit everything of theirs from "Cheshire Cat" and "Buddha" all the way to "California" over twenty years later into a Top 10. This will be so much fun!

That was surprisingly tough to narrow down. Unfortunately had to cut my favorite old-school track, Carousel and my favorite new school track, Hearts All Gone. I Miss You missed out too even though I heavily favored their self-titled album. Nothing from California even made top 20. Been a blink fan my entire life and they were my favorite band back in the early 2000s glory days

Blink-182 is right up there with AC/DC and Theory of a Deadman as one of my least favorite rock bands of all time, but, still, I found a few songs by them I like. All of This is awesome (Blink-182 should do more songs like this one) and Carousel's bassline is one of the first I ever learned to play; Adam's Song and After Midnight are good as well. I just really wanted to vote on upcoming artists.

On a side note, I had to report on their show last night. as they were amazing. They always have been in the five or six times I've seen them live. Matt Skiba did an excellent job filling in the songs for Tom, but it just seemed so weird there with hearing Tom's whiny vocals. Unlike in the past, their immature antics weren't present live as Mark and Tom would make fun of each other and tell jokes throughout the show. While they rarely spoke to the crowd, they still played "Family Reunion," "Blew Job," and "Happy Holidays, You Bastard" though.
A Day To Remember was insane too. They have a massive fanbase down here being from Florida. It was my first time seeing them live and I definitely want to check them out as a headliner in a smaller venue as this concert was in a large amphitheatere with about 20-30K people.

I listened to every song of theirs over the last two days at work. I realized some things about my music tastes after being a big fan of the band for the last nineteen years. "Cheshire Cat" and "Dude Ranch" are awesome for any pop-punk fan from an instrumental standpoint. However, the lyrics are so cringy and immature. Of course, I didn't mind this back in the day as a kid in Middle School and thought they were hilarious.
"Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" came out in the summer before I entered 12th Grade. I remember relating so well to it being a confused and stressed out teenager as most of the album is geared directly towards that demographic. I didn't really like their self-titled album nearly as much as the band experimented into different sounds to show that they've matured.
I think overall, "Neighborhoods" at this point in my life might be my favorite album of theirs. While I enjoy "California," and seeing them live over the weekend, I really do miss Tom in the band as he was of course a massive part of the band. Matt does an awesome job nevertheless.
In terms of choices from each album in my Top 10: Cheshire Cat: 2 Buddha: 0 Dude Ranch: 2 Enema of the State: 3 Self-Titled: 0 Take Off Your Pants and Jacket: 1 Neighborhoods: 2 California: 0
Songs that I was contemplating putting on my list, but didn't were:
Carousel Does My Breath Smell? Toast and Bananas Time Untitled A New Hope Lemmings Anthem Part Two The Rock Show Man Overboard Up All Night Wishing Well Cynical

Never thought I would have to leave so many good songs out. This is what it would feel like ;if I ever got to do a Cars or Kiss top 10.
Had I done this 10 years ago; it might have turned out different, but some songs have stood test of time; while others, not so much.
Cheshire Cat: 0 Buddha: 0 Dude Ranch: 1 Enema of the State: 4 Take Off Your Pants and Jacket: 1 Self-Titled: 3 Neighborhoods: 0 California: 1
But I listened to every album just for the fun of it.

Seems their "serious" songs are more (deservingly) popular than their "fun" songs, was surprised "All the Small Things" didn't runaway with #1 spot.

Damn! No Love for "Aliens Exist" and LOL! at Wheatsquares33 voting for only 4 songs. "Always" just barely missed my top 10. It came in at #12.

Chevelle wins the vote this time with solid support from 7 posters in their third time on the ballot. With the official announcement of the new vote I figure it's best to add another important one to the writeup. After a lot of recent thinking, a 13 month run, and (now) 25 different artists, I no longer have the time to fully commit to continuing the Pulse Top 10s heading into my Fall semester. After the Chevelle vote wraps up I'll be taking a hiatus from compiling these lists, not sure of the length yet but if I can commit the time again I'll be back for more artists and votes. After the Chevelle results, I'll post some final stats about the first 25 ballots as a sendoff to the first "season" of the Pulse Top 10s. As a final note I'd like to thank all 43 posters who have participated over the past year, I've discovered some fantastic tracks from bands that I never knew about before and managed to scrape out some songs I liked from bands I didn't. Now that that's settled, let's move on to the full voting table: Full Voting Results:Chevelle - 7 Death Cab For Cutie - 5 Jimmy Eat World - 5 The Cure - 5 Cage the Elephant - 4 The Black Keys - 4 Prince - 3 Gorillaz - 3 David Bowie - 2 The White Stripes - 0
Here's the Chevelle ballot!Voting closes Friday, September 2nd at Midnight EST!

I've missed the last few but I will definitely partake in this one as Chevelle is a band I've wanted to get more into and I wanted to give their new album a listen anyways.
Also I'm surprised but very happy that Adam's Song and I Miss You were the top 2 for the Blink 182 vote -- wish Always would have been higher but whatever.

Chevelle are just a solidly consistent band. They never really stray too far outside their norm, but because of that they never have any dud singles.

Thanks so much for running this game as it's something I look forward to partaking in every time. It's always fun going through music I might have never heard or haven't heard in many years. Anyway, Chevelle should a good one to work on. They're pretty consistent from each album, so it'll probably be hard to distinguish on ten songs.

There are about 4 Chevelle songs I like in total. "Take Out The Gunman", "Jars" , Send The Pain Below" ,Hats Off To The Bull" .Think it's time for me to check out this band's discography to see if I find any hidden gems.

They did a cover of "It's No Good" by Depeche Mode...I could see that popping up on your top ten. It's been a great run, I love ranking things so this has always been a great game. With Chevelle ending the run that pretty much covers all of my favorite bands that had a chancr(Since Lorde, Phantogram, and even APC don't have that many albums). I've participated in every vote and hopefully there will be more in the future for me to participate in
