"The Taste Of Ink" by The Used
The Used are an alternative rock band from Utah that formed in 2001. They teamed up with My Chemical Romance in 2005 to score a chart hit with their cover of David Bowie's "Under Pressure," which peaked at #41. It remains their only Top 100 appearance, but the band has released eight studio albums to date that have sold very well.

"I Don't Love You" by My Chemical Romance
I would count My Chemical Romance as one of the great modern rock bands of the naughts. Screaming from out of New Jersey, the band was founded in 2001 by brothers Gerard (vocals) and Mikey Way (bass). They released four albums before breaking up in 2013, at which point Gerard embarked on a solo career.
The stars started to come into alignment with the band's sophomore effort, "Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge." The album produced their first top 40 hit, "Helena (So Long & Goodnight)," which reached #33 in 2005. Building from that momentum, they released their masterpiece, "The Black Parade," a concept album about a person dying of cancer. The critically acclaimed record also gave the band their one and only top 10 hit, "Welcome To The Black Parade," which hit #9 and is included in the R&R Hall of Fame.
Their final album, "Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys" tells the story of a renegade group fighting a corporation that took over the world in post-apocalyptic 2019. An ambitious project, but the band pulled it off, continuing an impressive streak of masterful songwriting and performing.
There are many songs worth highlighting by the band, but I am going to showcase one of their slower moments: "I Don't Love You, " another cut from the amazing "Black Parade."
