Run Quick EMO ALBUMS; Here I’ll POLL, You VOTED

That Unwound record has never done a single thing for me, I've tried a handful of times over the years, cant find a way in.

Pinegrove was my highest 21st Century entry (at #11)

Self-edit. Obviously that's not true, I just forgot maths for a second. It is my favourite of this decade's emo releases though.

Jawbreaker have been a band I'd basically avoided because of the name? Which was an error

'Fernandez Must Die' just started up on the Fireside album and me and imago looked up at each other which means 'omg'

Wait you two are together? I'm confused

um why has nobody mentioned this album *ever*

we're charlton's very own ilx poll voting bloc. a formidable force

imago do you like three mile pilot

never heard. we're going to get around to everything though!

they are like post-punk fairytale music

this thread will be some rich, rich pickings for music i never really got around to before and an incredibly valuable resource of emotional rock music

imago needs to hear Three Mile Pilot before he goes to sleep. Brilliant band.

My fave 3MP song

We have to listen to the entirety of every Dashboard release before that can happen.

that's a mistake! Every 3MP release is awesome. and Black Heart Procession were damn brilliant too.

The 3MP song gr80 posted is great. Reminds me of Broken Social Scene a bit?

Loads on here to discover. Laughed seeing Bedhead placed, but thinking about it, it makes perfect sense to see it under the emo banner. Good work guys.

I love that lj is going to be forced to sit through multiple (!) dashboard albums

Fireside is straight-up ridic, amazing music

I love that lj is going to be forced to sit through multiple (!) dashboard albums

He is going to love it!

I'm already crying

i only know emo through a freshman year crash course amongst friends but

99. Elliott - False Cathedrals - massive album, "drive on to me" is a mfin ANTHEM, like caffeinated "don't stop believing". the follow up album song in the air is really good too.

Don't wet the bed tonight xp

Fireside has been crushing! Instant favourite. Ty so much to whoever voted it in

i discovered it during the campaigning thread! it's amazing!

wait have y'all heard juno

the ilx emo poll: the greatest juno discovery thread of all time

I love that lj is going to be forced to sit through multiple (!) dashboard albums

I do not know what that is! If it's not likely to show up during the rollout then I'll be sure to play it once I'm caught up between days, xp

Lol Sund4r, had you not heard it before? I think it's sole potency lies on 'your hair is everywhere' being such a weird and ubiquitous sentiment

I heard it in 00/01 or when it was new but not since.

Oh wow Further Seems Forever sound awful so far.

which further seems forever singer?

some iterations of the band are better than others (tho which are better and which are worse appears to be a subject of dispute)

I think it was "So Cold" and "The Sound" that Youtube was giving me.

Dashboard Confessional sounds like the most emo band of them all

oh yeah, potentially the band is not for you

were you Ottowa dudes in to Three Penny Opera?

never heard them!

hi i didnt vote bc my ballot would be 100% FOB ...so i'm here to broaden my horizons

I've already fallen in love w Lifetime thanks guys :D

as far as random discoveries go that angel hair record is pretty entertaining jehu impression.

Isn't it more extreme than Drive Like Jehu? DLJ played at 45 maybe?

Catching up with this now as well. It's so nice! The vocalist reminds me of the Less Than Jake guy. I don't mean that in a bad way.

this poll reinforces the fact that i have no idea what emo is (bedhead, really?) -- i didn't nominate anything, just voted for the shit i liked

good rollout so far tho! (mrs mordy's emo boy comment is a fave.) count me among those who tried blood brothers several times to no avail

bedhead is the most wtf so far when it comes to emoness

yeah something like that, a hardcore band that heard jehu and tried to imitate that sound

all you blood brothers fans should also check out the Past Lives album and the first Jaguar Love album (but for the love of God stay far away from the second!), they were their equivalent of the Sparta/Mars Volta split

first jaguar love album rules

I love it so much, the production is a bit flat but they had such a cool sound, and it's wild to hear johnny give'r on such vibrant, poppy songs

My #4 has already placed, as well as two other things in my top 20 (Saetia and Very Emergency). My #4 was The Swiss Army Romance, which for my money was easily the best DC album.

Crimes is one of my favorite albums of all time, truly an amazing piece of work. I still haven't really gotten into Young Machetes. Maybe I'll give it another shot tonight. I didn't vote for any Blood Brothers because I'd never thought of them as emo. Same with Refused and Unwound. But that's the interesting part about the way this poll was run, the relative emo-ness of an album seems to influence its ranking.

Rainer Maria should show up. I voted for three of theirs, one in my top 15.

My favorite Lifetime album is the one from the 70s with Tony Williams on it, but I'll give their 90s albums another shot.

wait have y'all heard juno

in typical fashion I now feel a bit bad (ok not actually that bad) for getting folks on the juno train for this poll cause on re-re-relistening I'm now convinced only the 1st album is emo "enough", the 2nd is mor like every new guitar genre of the last 25 years thrown in a magical blender
