Out of sheer curiosity, have you ever listened to any of their stuff? If so, what, and what kind of music do you listen to? I'll show you something to probably change your mind.
:s:
Yes, I've unfortunately had to endure many of their songs.
I listen to a wide variety of music. Saying I'm a metalhead would be pretty accurate, but I also enjoy a lot of music beyond metal, such alternative rock and some 80s synthpop/new wave. I also have soft spots for anti-folk, shoegaze, and industrial music.
Hmm. Okay, if you like metal listen to Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us. Perhaps also Helena (So Long and Goodnight) or their cover of Under Pressure.
:s:
Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us was actually pretty okay (read: not horrible), but the others sucked. First two were generic Hot Topic emo-core and Under Pressure was one of the worst Queen covers I've ever heard. Opinion on MCR hasn't changed a bit overall.
Yeah, I think you'd be more into their first album then.
