One of the tracks on the Rival Schools album ("Holding Sand") is mysteriously absent from Spotify.

Such a varied countdown already.

Wait, lol, Will, did you take improv lessons from N1ck?? Those guys went to my high school, a couple years behind me.

I think Weights and Measures was the best early 00s Ottawa band in the broad post-hc/emo/math rock genre.

tt is playing loads of these and I keep wondering if they're Tool

are Tool emo

I would unironically like to hear someone like Brand New cover one of the more brooding Undertow-era tunes

idk are you listening to quicksand

They were maybe the best post-Shotmaker band from the era?

some of my best pals in HS had a band for about a year that was such a beautiful rip-off of Shotmaker's sound - sadly i dont think any recordings exist

they were so solely invested in the sound that they just lazily stole the lyrics from chumbawamba's "tubthumping" for one song and ginuwine's "pony" for another

lol

out of a weird desire to just see what'll happen i sorta want you to listen to that say anything record lj

yeah it was quicksand and thirty ought six that made me think that

quite liked say anything from what i can tell!

saetia seemed like straight up black metal for one track lol

quite liked say anything from what i can tell!

hooray for theater kid emo

it is becoming clear that emo has more than three chord sequences

maybe as many as seven

sorry for the late start. everyone ready to begin?

yessssss

80. Moss Icon - Lyburnum

Just a reminder that you said 'wow, this is some emo' about Say Anything.

classic

Oops, phone doesn't show xposts.

Yay!

gonna do my best to keep the playlist updated "live" (at least till 5pm ETish)

You know I've been running one too but I wouldn't mind ceding that to you - free up a little bit of my time.

good to know that i'm at least as good at drums as the moss icon guy

oh shit mordy I didn't see that lol!

here I was thinking I was being helpful but really I was just fucking up again like I always do (/emo)

to quote my wife from the first year we were dating, "aw poor emo boy :("

hahaha

people accusing me of being an emo kid really stunted my emo development

love Moss Icon.

when she said that i'd pull up my coheed hoodie over my head and eyes and pout

This is lower than I expected - good record!

Also I have to admit, Say Anything are a real blind spot for me.

good to know that i'm at least as good at drums as the moss icon guy

I gave this a vote but I think it might be the drumming that holds me back from loving them as much as I 'should'? I always feel like they should be tighter (or else more loose and free/noisy).

LIFETIME

(who are more pop-punk than anything but every early-00s emo band was inspired by them. especially all the mall emo lol)

greatest song ever made

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLTUHMx8F7g

welp you weren't lying about an interesting patch of records placing below 77

LIFETIME!!

god i love this record so much

there's a parallel universe gr8080 with an "irony is for suckers" tattoo

lmao hell yeah

i almost submitted this album to the Jordan S listening club iirc but went with nation of ulysses instead

there is a lyric from an album that will definitely place in this countdown that I am *still* planning on getting a semi prominent tattoo of lol

Jersey's best Dancers and Hello Bastards both would have made my top ten.

the 2007 s/t wasnt nominated iirc, but for a reunion lp, was pretty solid imo

77. Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
133 points, 4 votes

so sick so sick of being tired
and oh so tired of being sick

i voted for a different tbs record but tbh this one has it all

it's not particularly recorded well and the songwriting is pretty disorganized and they would make way better records than this and yet it's so special

fuck i just realized i forgot to vote for piebald :-0
