We have to listen to the entirety of every Dashboard release before that can happen.
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:49 (seven years ago) link
that's a mistake! Every 3MP release is awesome. and Black Heart Procession were damn brilliant too.
― Odysseus, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 23:50 (seven years ago) link
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 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.

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
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:39 (seven years ago) link
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
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:41 (seven years ago) link
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?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:44 (seven years ago) link
some iterations of the band are better than others (tho which are better and which are worse appears to be a subject of dispute)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:45 (seven years ago) link
I think it was "So Cold" and "The Sound" that Youtube was giving me.
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 00:46 (seven years ago) link
Dashboard Confessional sounds like the most emo band of them all

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.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:11 (seven years ago) link
Isn't it more extreme than Drive Like Jehu? DLJ played at 45 maybe?
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:19 (seven years ago) link
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.
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:27 (seven years ago) link
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
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:30 (seven years ago) link
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
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 01:34 (seven years ago) link
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

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.

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
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 03:30 (seven years ago) link
i hadn't really thought about that. the first album is 100% emo from a thematic standpoint, the second less so but it has that dna more than like 5 things that have already made the countdown.
i really wish juno was on spotify and/or my CDs weren't in storage.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 03:53 (seven years ago) link
I ordered my CDs like two weeks ago but they're still not here yet :( :( :(
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 04:02 (seven years ago) link
yeah it's def more emo than say Refused. interestingly it shares a producer w/ Leaves Turn Inside You

Re: Songs From Under The Cork Tree, it has some key anthemic tracks but imo they don't hit critical capital A anthemic FOB til Infinity (i looooove the Babyface tracks, he understood their theatricality, I mean he turned Thnks Fr The Mmrs into a demented FOB Broadway showtune )
Infinity is when Patrick & Wentz really mindmeld & when the band starts just routinely facemelting
anyway i guess we'll get to that :)
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 04:09 (seven years ago) link
i'm listening to swiss army + the problem w/ it is that with the exception of the title track the best songs on it (screaming + again i go unnoticed) both show up on tpyhctftm - and as better versions! (places' "screaming" has that excellent penultimate elongated "your hair is everywhere" refrain which swiss army's version appears to be missing)
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 05:37 (seven years ago) link
So happy to see two more instant Fireside converts. It's like that scene in High Fidelity where John Cusack goes, "Let's sell a couple of Beta Band albums," and the moment he puts the record on in the store a customer wants to buy it.

Going through the Aereogramme discography this morning because it's been far too long. I never heard their Michael Jackson cover before:

They also did a brilliant 'In the Fishtank' session with Isis, which I had completely forgotten about.
