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

I'm grateful that Dan is here to say the things I'm too polite to say in this thread.

I have written and deleted so many bad-tempered replies to this thread every time MCR/FOB or stuff like that comes up it's not even funny

awesome poll (wish i had voted!) but would it be possible to get the year along with the album during the rollout if it isn't too much trouble?

:D

Nah it's all good, I realize people's concepts of emo are different than mine, just feeling my old cranky punk self a bit more! People like what they like, and hopefully they get introduced to some of what I like through this process.

xps

BPIB was my number 3 - a cataract of insanity without anything else quite like it

texas is the reason would have been my #1 if i had gotten my act together. perfect album.

and re: converge, it's really a testament to how good they are that the emo, metal, and hardcore scenes will all try to claim them.

even that History Of Rock Music dude agrees that the vocal chemistry between Johnny and Jordan is like nothing else that came before (or since imo) xp

BPIB was a "big" album for me and my friends. as someone else mentioned upthread, it opened up the door to a lot of extreme music for me, similar to how [album that has yet to place] opened up the door to lots of experimental music

Using my one TOO LOW on Texas Is the Reason, was in my top three, such a classic record, basically my platonic ideal of pop emo.

it was also a big album for me and my friends, in the sense that I inflicted it on as many of my friends as possible but all they ever heard was sonic terrorism xp

lol

I made a quick and dirty list of the remaining albums that seem inevitable and was only able to identify 19.

yeah i'm a little foggy about what the top twenty is gonna look like

especially if mordy is promising that more of my favs will appear

I'm doing my best not to get my hopes up (/emolyric)

that's about right

i wanna be a boat

prob the only album my band has covered more than one song from

which is i guess my way of saying this is less of an album and more a helix of dna

the fact that this was not on the 19 I wrote down tells me I made a shitty, slapdash list lol

which is my way of explaining why i didn't vote for it even though/because it's permanently installed in some depth of my brain

late to the party but

IIIIIIIIIVE GOOOT TROUUUUBLED THOUUUUUUGHTS AND A SEEEEELLLLF ESTEEEEEM TO MAAAAAATCH

WHAAAAAAAAAAT A CAAAAAAAAAATCH
<3

I still get a weird proud thrill hearing Patrick showcase his "new" pipes on Folie. Infinity hinted at it but Folie was like OH SHIT DUDE. Compared to how he sang on TITYG you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a different lead singer

ah goddammit i just realized that the format probably count as emo

I've never heard them but Dog Problems has maybe the best cover art I've ever seen?

more album covers should be: just dogs

the format def emo almost nom'd them

dog problems is like a massive power pop album that threads together the beach boys, queen, jellyfish, etc. imo it would be false emo if it placed here lol xpost

loving Jawbreaker

interventions and lullabies however counts. god knows why i make this distinction other than they opened for taking back sunday at the time

the rising tide is my current fav sunny day record but for years this was the one

let's get all the SDRE over with imo, I like 'em fine but

"waffle" is the most beautiful song

Diary might win this thing

i am glad this poll exists or i would never have uncovered the joy of SDRE

I'm still hoping it will be a Sweep The Leg Johnny/Shiner double whammy for 1/2

I don't even know if the SDRE album I voted for is gonna place

just realized the anniversary haven't placed yet!!! oh no i jinxed myself didn't i

I don't even know if the SDRE album I voted for is gonna place
