Six Reasons Why Fall Out Boy Does Not Suck as Much as You Think

Six Reasons Why Fall Out Boy Does Not Suck as Much as You Think

In fact, they don't suck at all. One of the most unfairly maligned bands in all the land, Fall Out Boy is despised for such sins as getting really popular and having a glammy showboat playing bass.

Billed as the “World’s Biggest One-Day Running Event,” the 10K jaunt culminated in music concerts held in each city: Chicago got locally-grown Fall Out Boy, while hometown boy Kanye West teamed up with Common in Los Angeles.
