i arbitrarily hated all emo in high school until i saw the video for "sic transit gloria" on mtv2, then my taste slowly reshuffled over the next few years

Another great album I didn't feel right voting for!
― Gavin, Leeds, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:26 (nine years ago)
yeah i couldn't vote for any fugazi
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 13:27 (nine years ago)
Not emo, but it's classic and I voted for it. Feel like I should've nominated The Argument and stuff
― ultros ultros-ghali, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:29 (nine years ago)
classic, didn't vote for it
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 13:33 (nine years ago)
Was Trail of Dead nominated? Or will I get a thread ban for even asking that?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:36 (nine years ago)
I thought about nominating the first two albums!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 13:38 (nine years ago)
Seeing the roll-out the scope of what ilm considers emo is so broad, ST&C would've fit nicely imo (emo).
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:55 (nine years ago)
I listened to The Argument for the first time in the run up to this. Tremendous album!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:56 (nine years ago)
first two tod albums def have emo embedded in them
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 13:58 (nine years ago)
yeah, "Richter Scale Madness," "Half of What," "Mistakes and Regrets," "A Perfect Teenhood" all emo af, it's just that nagging SY influence that stands in their way
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 13:59 (nine years ago)
not to mention "Sigh Your Children" which is an extremely lolemo way to end a record
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:00 (nine years ago)
A Perfect Teenhood is more emo than most of this poll haha

― Mordy, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:01 (nine years ago)
fuck yeah
this was the predictive (and retrospective) thematic strk for the worst period of my life, so of course I voted for it highly
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:03 (nine years ago)
awesome, another discovery that made my top ten.
― devvvine, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:04 (nine years ago)
really curious if rites of spring & still life are gonna show up or if they got 101'd
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:06 (nine years ago)
RoS for sure
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:06 (nine years ago)
TO PROVE YOU STILL FEELYOU ONLY FEELSORRY FOR YOURSELF
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:08 (nine years ago)
still life def got 101d
from angry heads with skyward eyes is a classic 4ever tho
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:09 (nine years ago)
one of the starkest and most stressful rock albums ever, no relief or release at all (or when it comes it feels mocking)
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:10 (nine years ago)
You're really selling it Simon!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:16 (nine years ago)
I mean, it also rocks and has riffs and stuff
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:18 (nine years ago)
lol just realised we still have meadowlands coming up
― devvvine, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:20 (nine years ago)
yeah I think I know 15 of the remaining slots, the rest are mysterious to me

― Mordy, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:37 (nine years ago)
WAY too low
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:38 (nine years ago)
oh whoops forgot that one lol
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:39 (nine years ago)
this album comes so close to being too clever for its own good so many times but just barely stays course
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:41 (nine years ago)
also this post-reunion braid track would be high on my tracks ballot https://youtu.be/BF4r32HxhFs
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:42 (nine years ago)
Don't sleep on No Coast either
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:43 (nine years ago)
Oh now this is too low
tt played me about two songs off this and I put it in my top 5 I think?
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:49 (nine years ago)
I voted for the fugazi but had to cut the Braid album from my longlist as I hadnt heard it in years
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:55 (nine years ago)
it will sound better than you remember
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:57 (nine years ago)
2 down, 1 to go:
Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good // Braid - Frame and Canvas // Get Up Kids - 4 Minute Mile //
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:58 (nine years ago)
haven't been able to stop listening to lp2. goldsmith's ghost notes on "iscarabraid" are incredible, i don't think i ever noticed them before. can u believe dave grohl recorded over all of goldsmith's drum tracks for the colour and the shape? (i can but what a shame)
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:03 (nine years ago)
It's going to be fun when 4 None Blondes top this poll
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:34 (nine years ago)
well yknow you can't spell "4 non blondes" without...oh actually nevermind

― Mordy, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:47 (nine years ago)
YES!!!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:49 (nine years ago)
can't stand bright eyes but this record is indisputable
― devvvine, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:49 (nine years ago)
Listening to Braid again for the 1st time in years and it really should have been on my ballot.
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (nine years ago)
This is also great and also went straight into my ballot after a couple of songs
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (nine years ago)
this album proves that oberst is emo cause the only way you wouldn't make a bunch more records like this was if you hated fun
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (nine years ago)
I thought Desaparecidos would be top 10. Great album.
This was my number one!!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:51 (nine years ago)
the perfect situation for conor oberst's voice is extremely loud electric guitars, which is why bright eyes records always sound like gross miscalculations to me
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:53 (nine years ago)
haven't heard any of the last three.
