"I'm just a notch in your bedpost..."
Fall Out Boy's single "Sugar, We're Going Down" is in my head. I'm actually amazed that the song hasn't been overplayed, in my opinion. I've enjoyed it, but not enough to look into becoming a fan of the band. Normally, I reserve that for a band who can put out two singles that I like. This saves me a lot of money and music exploring... of course, I am subject to the music industries preferences and marketing, but I feel like I have enough influences (Donnie, Nick, Brad, my wife, etc.) to introduce new music to me.
So, I've got to like two songs from a band for me to consider the band for fan-ability. Anyone already a Fall Out Boy fan? If so, what's the next song I should listen to? While I'm on the subject, anyone got any good bands/singles that I should check out?

I am anti-Fall Out Boy. Here is why.
1. They used a Simpsons reference to name their band way after it could even be close to being considered cool to do so.
B. The singer's voice struggles on the album. Seriously. And if a singer struggles to sing on a recording these days, it can only get worse when you see them sing live. This was confirmed when I caught them playing on MTV at some point in the past few months.
Lastly, I find their song titles neither clever nor amusing. Long song titles make life difficult. Especially when they have nothing to do with the song. Like I have time to sit here watching iTunes scroll song titles across the screen. Okay maybe I do, but I still shouldn't have to.
