Jimmy Eat World's 2001 album Bleed American propelled them from playing with underground bands like Mineral and Christie Front Drive to full-blown mainstream success – platinum certification, MTV play and a Top 10 single.
The album, re-released as Jimmy Eat World following the 9/11 attacks, proved that emo wasn't just an enigmatic subculture. Hooky anthems like "Sweetness" and "The Middle" saw the band taking the rough-around-the-edges sound of 1996's Static Prevails and making it accessible enough for anyone pondering buying an iPod. Additional cred for featuring a shout-out to the Promise Ring's Davey von Bohlen on "A Praise Chorus."
