I'm going to say either Five, Eight and Ten by Mineral or In Circles by Sunny Day Real Estate.
I just love that plucked intro to Five, Eight and Ten.
I know this thread has been done before, but I've been listening to far too much of this stuff to not post about it.
Assuming I'm allowed to call them emo
American Football- Never Meant
emo's not a dirty word anymore
its not being played on MTV anymore.
good call^
sic transit gloria by brand new
It was a toss up between that and
Me Vs Maradona Vs Elvis
very
good call
Christie Front Drive
Fin
I love
all of the songs mentioned so far. I'd say I prefer Seven to In Circles by SDRE though.
I wholeheartedly agree with In Circles by Sunny Day Real Estate
infact the whole of Diary is amazing
It's the best album ever made.
That's a solidgoldfact.
Actually, this might be a good thread. I love SDRE: what else should I be listening to? I shall take recommendations from this thread and either wilfully ignore them or make some informed purchases.
Braid
.
I like Braid and all
but they aren't as good as some other stuff. Maybe they're less immediate and I need to devote some more time to them. I only have The Age of Octeen which I'm told is their weaker album.
Get
Frame and Canvas. It might change your mind.
FOO FIGHTERS
I'll put that in the 'wilfully ignore' pile, for now...
Seam
For sure
oh man you'd love mineral
get The Power of Failing. and Endserenading.
Noted.
I posted a massive list in a thread a few days ago
and i can't be arsed typing it out again.
The thread was called 'good old-new emo' or something.
GOING DOWN WE'REEEE IIIIIIIN CIRRRRCLLLLES
bleeeeeeeeeed american
maybe
at your funeral
by saves the day is also a bit of a tear-jerking classic
Negative Ways-:(
Schmeemo
Promise Ring - Why Did Ever We Meet
Texas is the Reason - Back And To The Left
Wordbug - Waiting (Exeter proto-emo)
And
Get Up Kids - Anne Arbour
Back and to the Left
good call. Antique is another great song of theirs, can't believe I forgot about that one.
Fullerov
from
Brand New: Play Crack The Sky
Brand New: Jesus Christ
The Get Up Kids: Campfire Kansas
Knapsack: Skip The Details
Knapsack: Please Shut Off The Lights
Say Anything: Every Man Needs A Molly
Braid: Milwaukee Sky Rocket
Far- Bury White
Does Glassjaw count?
The Gillette Cavalcade Of Sports?
If not, probably something by Weezer.
I hate myself
'monster free tokyo'
'drowning not waving' ahha how they used to make me sad
also sunny day real estate's 'seven' of course
I never really saw Weezer
as emo.
Under ANY of its variations.
no not at all
yes hes very emo-tional on pinkerton but its not the same kettle of fish
Sunny Day Real Estate - Song About an Angel
or Steps and Numbers by the Appleseed Cast, if you could call them emo.
I do.
Shit i forgot about Steps and Numbers
the drumming in it is amazing
Circa Survive - Great Golden Baby
On The Might Of Princes - The Swell And The Breaking
Further Seems Forever - The Moon Is Down/The Bradley
I love emo a considerable amount.
Does anyone think that...
Absinthe Party..... by Minus The Bear could qualify as emo, it's definitely a bit emo-fied. If that makes any sense. If it counts then thats a great song.
yeah i think some minus the bear tracks border on emo territory
absinthe party is amazing even if it doesn't qualify
Braid - A Dozen Roses
clearly
Well if you're going to pick a Braid song it'd have to be
Forever Got Shorter.
i'm
with you...
City On Film
I have seen Bob Nanna twice, and twice he hasn't played it.
SUX.
^ 5
That, along with I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional by American Football are two of my favourite songs of all time.
I'll be crushingly predictable and say
Jude Law and a Semester Abroad by Brand New.
23
by Jimmy Eat World FTW!
Old Brand New?
Thats not predicatable. Thats well controversial!
is it?
Didn't realise. Even though I prefer their new stuff, this is probably my favourite track.
^ snap!
Does anyone else
have a slight obsession with getting all the mid 90's bands albums.
I spend ages looking for Boy's Life and Mineral records....
.
mewithoutYou - C-Minor
yes
I nearly wept of joy when I got my Christie Front Drive/Boy's Life split EP 10".
list
American Football - Honestly?/You Know I Should Be Leaving Soon
Braid - Collect Call from Clark Kent
used for glue - rival schools
yes.
I'd say that's
more post-hardcore than emo?
Oh my god
Hmm...
I was going to say something by Get Up Kids, but someone else mentioned my beloved Brand New as being 'emo' so what the hell: "Limousine"
Or 'I Can Climb Mountains' by Hell Is For Heroes. Tune.
"And you can fake smiles to make you feel
When its time to break the deal
Cos it's easy now, i'm easy now"
<3
Jawbreaker - Fireman
Sunny Day Real Estate - ALL OF DIARY
Texas Is The Reason - DO You Know Who You Are? (Yes, a very un-emo instrumental, but it's simplicity which gets me).
Loads
Last Days of April - Will The Violins Be Playing is a belter
As is Mother Mary by Far
and Holiday by The Get Up Kids - pure fist clenching emo awesomeness!
brand new - last chance to lose your keys
pop-punk or emo, dunno, but it's great
jesus christ by brand new too.
in circlesss by SDRE as mentioned lots before and song about an angel. aaahhh :D
some others that i can't remember now.
I know it is a bit cheesy but...
Lukewarm by New End Original.
Are we including 'screamo'?
In which case anything by Circle takes the Square.
couldn't possibly pick just one
but a randomly chosen top 3 might be:
Get Up Kids - Holiday
Mineral - Unfinished
Jimmy Eat World - Table For Glasses
Steeper Than We Thought - KNAPSACK
Emergency!Emergency! - THE PROMISE RING
Intifada Driving School - SEAM
Like A Future With No Friend - SMALL BROWN BIKE
Lucky Denver Mint - JEW
.
Tiny Hawks - Signal Meets A Signal
Bells on Trike - There Went Nothing
Evergreen - Shoulders
Damezumari - Second Chance
kolya - The Story Becomes the Vehicle
Boilermaker- Slingshot
Lovesick - Invention
Boys Life - All of the Negatives
Rockets and Bluelights - Andee
Mineral - Serenading
probably
braid - urbanna's to dark or forever got shorter.
american football - nevermeant
whilst technically a punk band, i will add
kiss the bottle by jawbreaker.
another vote for
'Back and to the left' by Texas Is The Reason.
Also 'Boys Lie' by Brandtson (if it's allowed)
Ooh, can't pick just one
First thoughts:
Sunny Day Real Estate - Seven
Midtown - Waiting for the News
Brand New - Okay, I Believe You...
Dashboard Confessional - Best Deceptions
Alexisonfire - Where No One Knows (Does this count?)
Oh, and something by Saves The Day
Freakish probably. Or Nightingale.

Do You Like Coffee?
Forever Got Shorter
or
Hugs From Boys
by Braid
or
I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional
by American Football
Christie Front Drive - Bag
Texas is the Reason - A Jack With One Eye
Jawbreaker - Kiss The Bottle
unfinished by mineral
or after the movies by cursive (if cursive count(to pre empt the emo police))
.
if anyone cares, i'll be announcing the dates for a tour for the new amsterdams (matt pryor, lead singer of get up kids) in a couple of days... will be in may
"please drive faster! oh no disaster!!!"
by Braid. maybe. i sure do sing it a lot, and have done so for the past million of years...
