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

were you Ottowa dudes in to Three Penny Opera?

havent thought about them in years but i def listened to them a bunch

Yeah, I used to see them. I don't own anything by them, though.

Aaaahh! Rilo Kiley was my number 1! I know there's a lot of debate around the veracity of its emo musicality, and while I kind of get that, everything about its mood, tone and lyrics epitomise the genre for me. I love that the entire thing is just this gigantic reflection on fear of mortality and identity dysphoria. Aaaaah Jenny Lewis. <3

Is there something about government towns and hardcore?

oh i listened to part of that three mile pilot record before voting but never finished it. what i heard was v impressive

Been out all day, so miles behind but yay Pinegrove/FOB/TBS/Aereogramme. I forgot to nominate my favourite Saves the Day album (Can't Slow Down), so they didn't make it onto my ballot in the end. Pinegrove was my highest 21st Century entry (at #11). I totally didn't get it last year and then I saw them live and it's been on a loop ever since, I think it's pretty much perfect.

Sleep And Release was MY number one! Lovely synchronicity. Also voted for Rilo Kiley because tt p much made me (also played it for me and it was rly good & emotional)

last one for today and it's a doozy

61. The Blood Brothers - Young Machetes
153 points, 4 votes

this is the best three mile pilot song: https://youtu.be/WcsWGydETxc

Love 3MP. I voted for this pretty high

young machetes is like.. i think one of the great swan songs

like doing everything they did before but better and more imaginatively

among all the other reasons to thank this poll i have to give it credit for getting me into the blood brothers years after i dismissed them as not my thing

I'd argue it's one of the only great political albums to come out of the Bush administration. Absolutely brutal, incredible stuff

remarkable album, made my ballot

young machetes is like.. i think one of the great swan songs

up there with The Argument where it's like, man, what's next? Oh damn, there is no next

and guy piciotto co produced!

otm

I've probably listened to Bivouac more than any other album I own.

I think I listened to it when I was 14 and totally didn't get it at the time and have ignored it since. Favourite discovery of the rollout so far

i need to listen to that, and 3 mile pilot, and pinegrove, and bedhead

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
https://youtu.be/KDnrSu-lju4

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
