Best Answer

I'm guessing that you mean the modern Metal influenced Post-Hardcore bands like A Day To remember rather than the bands leaning more towards 80's Hardcore Punk like Fugazi!

If so, I'm guessing amongst the best selling will be:

Homesick by A Day To Remember (2009)

Life is Not a Waiting Room by Senses Fail (2008)

Take to the Skies by Enter Shikari (2007)

Crisis by Alexisonfire (2006)

Say Hello to Sunshine by Finch (2005)

This of course is what I think will be the best selling, not necessarily the best! Personally my favourites are For Those Who Have a heart by A Day To Remember and Bone Palace Ballet by Chiodos
