Each year in the diverse genre of modern rock music, we acknowledge a combination of accomplished artists and the avant-garde. This past year was no exclusion as proverbial bands dominated the airwaves while obscure bands endeavored for a breakthrough. Bands of familiarity such as Green Day, Foo Fighters, 311, Weezer, and Nine Inch Nails released several hits each as we witnessed solid hits by newer bands such as Crossfade, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, 10 Years, and Dark New Day.As Billboard magazine releases their year-end charts, we as listeners often have our own sentiments of what songs were appealing and which songs weren’t. In this review, I have compiled a list of awards for the 2005 year in modern rock.
MODERN ROCK SONG OF THE YEAR-Scars (Papa Roach)
Papa Roach broke on to the rock scene back in 2000 as an explosive hard rock band. While obviously having issues, the group would vent through their music. With the release of ‘Scars’, the lead singer Jacoby Shaddix showed vulnerability as the rocker poured out his heart. The emotion mixed with the rockin’ instrumentals puts the song in an elite class.
Honorable Mention: Boulevard Of Broken Dreams (Green Day), Feel Good Inc. (Gorillaz), The Clincher (Chevelle), The Hand That Feeds (Nine Inch Nails), B.Y.O.B. (System Of A Down), Doesn’t Remind Me (Audioslave), Photograph (Nickelback)
MODERN ROCK GROUP OF THE YEAR - Green Day
Their latest album ‘American Idiot’, which was released in September of 2004, produced three number one songs. The title track ‘American Idiot’ along with ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ and ‘Holiday’ all topped the Modern Rock charts at some point since the album was released. The fourth release ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’ peaked in the top five. No other artist’s success was as evident as the success of Green Day in 2005.
Honorable Mention: Nine Inch Nails, System Of A Down, Weezer, Seether, Mudvayne, Foo Fighters, Slipknot
