US rockers MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE have been declared the musical kings of 2005 in Spin magazine's annual Readers Poll.
The group claimed Band of The Year, Best Song (HELENA), Best Live Act and Best Breakout Band honours, while frontman GERARD WAY was voted Sex God of 2005 in the newly-released poll.

GWEN STEFANI is also a hit among readers of the revered rock magazine - she claimed the Best Solo Artist, Sex Goddess and Best Dressed prizes.
Other winners included ARCADE FIRE (Best New Artist), INTERPOL (Most Under-rated Artist) and NINE INCH NAILS (Best Comeback).

Conversely, FALL OUT BOY were declared Worst Band and Worst New Artist, while ASHLEE SIMPSON took Worst Solo Artist and Worst Live Act, and BRITNEY SPEARS was voted Worst Dressed

Fall Out Boy was just on their cover a few months ago...odd.

Absolutely expect MCR to be voted in as Band Of The Year.

And it's all of a sudden the cool thing to do to hate Fall Out Boy(though I was doing it long before most , so of course the Spin reads would vote them in as worst band, which is ******** because, while I don't like them, there were definitely worse bands.

I disagree

Fallout Boy was definitely NOT the worst band and new act. I can see why Ashlee took worst live act and Britney being worst dressed.

Sucks that FOB is this huge target of "sell out" hate.
- Nice for MCR, Arcade Fire!

You are so right...it should have been a 5 way tie: Fall Out Boy. Avenged Sevenfold, Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance and the All American Rejects! LFR

What is so good about MCR ?_?

That sucks ass for FOB. Certain poseurs asses are kissed by SPIN, yet FOB get the title of Worst Band, that's retarded.

Awesome for nine inch nails...glad to hear that SOMEBODY recognizes their return.

Britney Spears and Ashlee Simpson got what they deserved, too.

"Sellout" is one of the dumbest made-up terms in the music world, period.

This whole "emo" rock thing is starting to bug me a lot...

I loved MCR and Fall Out Boy, now I just can't stand them cause their quality has just fiddled away for me.. IDK what it is, maybe overexposer?

How does their quality of music "fiddle away" with overexposure?
THIS IS WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

When it was cool to like FOB & MCR over a year ago, it was the same BLOODY music that it is now.

It's just now, 1 million more people recognize the same likeable music that you did earlier.

Who gives a flying f---. Honestly.
