As for Parkway Drive...metalcore just doesn't do it for me at all. Nowt against them but I avoid them all pretty much.

Oh I don't know I thought the Gallows version was pretty good, the songs been covered a few times, Dag Nasty did a version of it as well.
If you ever get a chance give Ruts DC a spin, it was their dub side venture after Malcolm passed on.

Here's another of my favorites:

Thanks, I use to love the movie Repo Man so Coup D etat had to be on there. Operation is a great song to, as is the whole Group Sex album. Say what you will about Black Flag, but I always thought the Circle Jerks had the edge melodically.
As for Parkway Drive guys. I honestly didn't know what to do about the whole metalcore equation when I first started this list, but once I threw it into the mix, I had to judge each band on their individual musical merit.
I honestly think Parkway Drive is a great band musically, the problem is that they belong to a genre that garners about the same amount of respect as Nu Metal.
