Video being shot says Billboard.biz. Supposed to be inlcuded on the upcoming greatest hits album. Have not heard, but it sure looks like it's going to be another ballad
EDIT : MODIFIED TITLE

IMO Hoobastank jumped the shark with the Reason... I think people don't give Every Man For Himself the credit it deserves. That is an incredibly solid and diverse album and I really think Hoobastank did a great job with it, but it didn't have another Reason so it tanked. |

"The Reason" is an amazing song. I actually find it to be their most generic and boring song that they've made xD They have much better ones. |

The crossover CHR smashes are rarely the best songs from an artist. Hoobastank is no exception in my opinion.

I have to agree here. I like "The Reason," as I probably like just about every song on all four of Hoobastank's full-length albums, but I think it got way more success than it deserved because so many of their album tracks that never became singles are so much better IMO. It just sucks that I'd think the average Pop radio listener over the past 10-15 years would think Hoobastank is a one hit wonder. Or then you get a response like one of my friends, who's a casual Alt. radio listener said recently when "The Reason" happened to come on my local Alt. station, "Man, what happened to these guys? They haven't made anything since around the time that I heard this song." Then, I have to explain that they've actually made two new albums since then.

It would be so nice to see these guys actually get radio play again.

I think if they regroup and get back to what started getting them airplay in the first place, rock radio will find a place for them.

Are you talking about "Crawling In The Dark" or are you talking about "The Reason"? Cause I don't think they'll ever be as heavy as the former again and even if they were, that genre's pretty played on radio right now. I don't see why they can't score any hits with what they're putting out now though. |

I meant the first album. They kinda tried that Every Man with mixed results.
Anyway, quick little tournament to see what the favored single is around here. A few notes....... I added 3 to make it 16. Never Saw It Coming was from their exclusive Target CD and received a few plays at the time. Did You is from Spider-man 2, and did not get any play that I remember. We Are One is from the Donate To Download: Haiti CD.
I grouped them by albums just to be different. That sucks for me because three of my favorite singles are from the first CD. Oh well.
HOOBASTANK

4 Never Saw It Coming

Dammit. This is unnecessary. I think if you're going to make airbrackets out of threads for singles, just go ahead and lock every thread you post.

I agree, I hate having to wade through a thread for this. Name your favorite song and move on at most...or move it to the games sections where this stuff belongs. |

6) Asinine
2) Impaired
