we're going to have to work out the most emo cover in the top 100 when this is all done

189 points and four votes mean the other two votes must have been really fuckin high too (assuming 50 for a no. 1?)

Have never been able to get into Rising Tide as much as the other SDRE albums but I'll keep trying.
Re: Pitchfork's old emo reviews, nothing beats all the Joan of Arc ones, I've never known a publication hate a band so much.

i only voted for one get up kids record but even that felt weird bc i feel like all of their best songs are on unrelated eps

I ended up not voting for any Get Up Kids. I listened to bits of a couple records and they didn't hit me like I thought they were going to. And yet I really like "I'm a Loner, Dottie, a Rebel..." which reminds me I forgot to vote for the Post Marked Stamps comp CD.
I saw the Hold Steady open for the Get Up Kids years ago. Weird bill. The emo kids were not into THS. Six months later I saw THS again in a small venue and mentioned the show to Craig outside the club. His response: "Well, when you fuck with emo, emo fucks with you."

if i ever write that book about emo (lol) four minute mile will be extremely central to its thesis bc it's, as far as i know, the first record of its kind to be so simultaneously recognizably emo and recognizably pop-punk, plus it inspired almost every band that came after

"Saw my baby boy, digging his own hole/keeping alive family tradition" makes me tear up every time.

"Well, when you fuck with emo, emo fucks with you."

Simon I just checked the original thread and you did nominate them. They somehow failed to get from that thread into the nomination list. I'm so sorry :(
