i absoltely completatlerbbeuy
forgot about shudder to think, SUCH a great band, good call sir
everyone also forgot about mineral
That's a cardinal sin in my book.
i already love mineral though
i just forgot about the genius of shudder to think
You can't put Dismemberment Plan on an emo list!
You sick fuck!
I can and I did.
They are so emo.
No they're not
they're post-hardcore-pop, foo!
In that cause, replace it with Low Level Owl Vol. 1 by Appleseed Cast
1. CHRISTIE FRONT DRIVE
STEREO
1. Brand New - Deja Entendu
2. Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
3. Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
Despite owning several albums that would be tagged as emo, none really come close to these 3, so I'm leaving it at that. Plus, I can't remember any more.
...
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Texas is the Reason - Do You Know Who You Are?
Thursday - Waiting
Dashboard Confessional - Swiss Army Romance
Saves the Day - Stay What You Are
1 such blinding stars for starving eyes - cursive
2. end serenading - mineral
3. 10 songs - I hate myself
4. war all the time - thursday
I cant stretch to a 5th
top 5 is...
1 MCR - I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love
2 MCR - Three cheers for sweet revenge
3 Brand New - deja entendu
4 Thursday - Cant decide which one I like the most
5 Funeral For A Friend - Casually Dressed and Deep In Conversation
5

Brand New - Deja entendu
Thrice - Vheissu
Receiving End Of Sirens - The Earth sings mi fa mi
5. something to write home about
I'm not sure what counts
and what doesn't any more.
At any rate, I love Texas is the Reason, Thursday's War All The Time, Weezer's Pinkerton, and I can't choose between Bleed American and Clarity. I'll say the Ugly Organ if it counts, but I'm *just not sure what counts any more*.
The Photo Album is good. So is Emergency and I. God, I don't know.
the ugly organ
i think it counts!also i think i would class biffy clyros blackened sky as emo.but then again much like danger i am unsure what counts and what doesnt
something to write home about - Get up Kids
Waiting-Thursday
Water and Solutions-Far
Read music/Speak Spanish-Desaparecidos
Diary-sUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE
Desaparecidos are brilliant
Wouldn't call that emo though.
Infact, fuck the nitpicking, they are good enough for most lists
1. Cap'n Jazz- Schmap'n Schmazz
2. Rites of Spring- End On End
3. Far- Water & Solutions
4. American Football- s/t
5. Rival Schools- United By Fate
WOT
NO ELLIOT?
oh wow
American Football - s/t
Jimmy Eat World - Static Prevails (controversial)
Appleseed Cast - Mare Vitalis
Cap'n Jazz - Analphabeta....
Then I'm not sure but either Elliott, Braid, Mineral or Texas is the Reason.
shit, I forgot Appleseed Cast
Low Level Owl Vol 1 is blatantly their best though.
Don't know about 5
but Boy Sets Fire- After The Eulogy would have to be in there somewhere!
death cab for cutie?
no?
YES
Ive never heard
of American Football, but Ill invest in their album as its had a good few mentions here but who is their sound closer to, the likes of Blink 182/New Found Glory or Thrice/Thursday?!
They could be compared to thursday
but their music is really mid paced and sad, they don't really 'rock' at all, its almost more like post rock in a way.
Cheers Andy
Maybe Ill try and check out some of there stuff from somewhere before investing!
They could be compared to Thursday
in that they are also a band who play guitars and once released an album!
In terms of bigger, more successfyl bands, think Minus The Bear
you just put me off buying an album of theirs.
They don't sound a fucking thing like Thursday
Or like MTB really, was just an easy reference point.
http://www.myspace.com/amfootball
i think the vocals are similar to thursday
.
Really?
I guess they are strained and sound like they could break at any time, but the passion in Kinsella's voice is not the same as that in Rickly's. Not a comparison I'd ever have made, but each to their own
qwertyuiop[]
schmap'n shmazz
hello bastards
lyburnum
the power of failing
owls (if it counts, rites of spring if it doesnt)
Are Lifetime allowed?
If so I'm putting 5 Lifetime releases.
NO!
Lifetime were in no way associated with emo. They were melodic hardcore.
You learn something new everyday
For instance, I now know what to post if ever I want to wind you up
blah.
they're emo enough for me gosh darn it

else noticed that you could reverse the name of the emo bands and their album titles and someone...cough..errm... a friend of mine...perhaps...who knew nothing about emo, wouldn't be able to tell which was which?

NOT EMO: Bright Eyes, Dismemberment Plan, The Weakerthans
i just downloaded
full collapse because of this thread!
i hope it's better than War all the time, cos that's proper shit apart from a couple of tracks..
full collapse
is consistently great. So is A City By The Light Divided, the newest one. War All The Time only has about 4 good songs though.
It's similar to tell all your friends
in that it might have dated a bit now, but it really was a landmark album.
Oh and
Thursday - Full Collapse
American Football - st
Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
I totally forgot
Saetia - A Retrospective and The Appleseed Cast - Mare Vitalis!
spy versus spy
little lights
The following bands
from this thread surely don't count as emo?!?
Brand New, Dismemberment Plan, Rival Scools, Weakerthans, Bright Eyes, Nada Surf...
My 5:
Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary
Texas Is The Reason - Do You Know Who You Are?
Far - Water & Solutions
JEW - Clarity
The Get Up Kids - Something to write home about
Brand New...
etc are definitely not emo. Just pop punk eh?
emo schemo
1. braid - frame and canvas
2. spy versus spy - little lights or the s/t ep
3. american football - s/t
4. indian summer - discography
5. owls - s/t
and an honourable mention to stapleton.
Best list yet.
But no Christie Front drive?!
+10 scene points to me then
how about we add the christie front drive/boy's life split for extra emo?
don martin 3 as well.
i just realised i've not included any of the gravity bands. oh well.
Glad I am worth scene points
Your band was named after a Spies song. Surely that's some right there?
My band is named after a Kossabone Red song!
