My Chemical Romance

MCR is one of those bands that I hate to like because of how mainstream they've become, yet I still listen - and enjoy immensely. From a technical standpoint, they're very good, their songs are quite well-arranged, and even though Gerard's voice is nothing to write home about it's still great listening. I love their lyrics personally, aside from a few songs (I'm Not Okay gets on my f*cking nerves). I've been a fan since Bullets and loved their take on a concept album - Black Parade was great stuff. I hate how the press portrays them as these sort of Media Darling types, and the crazy-as-hell fangirls can go die in my opinion, but the music's still good, and from what I've seen as far as video, their live shows aren't half bad either. Great band.
