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

liking Witch Hunt and Space Ape thanks.

Crazy that this stuff is gonna be in the same rollout as Fall Out Boy, but here we are. Plenty to discover so far.

87. Rival Schools - United by Fate
117 points, 7 votes

awesome. late discovery and addition to my ballot.

killer album, right at the center of so many styles

this was lower down on my ballot

Literally the 50th album I added to my ballot, about half an hour before I sent it in. Good find, Spottie!

I remember a friend at school being really into this when it came out. I didn't get round to listening to it though.

Rival Schools is a post quicksand Walter band right?

yes

Rival Schools were great. For some silly reason I forgot to vote for it. I used to play that record to pieces in 2001. I did vote for Quicksand though (and Jawbox).

I wanted to like Rival Schools way more than I actually did. Same goes for most of walter's bands. I love Quicksand to death tho

86. Thirty Ought Six - Hag Seed
119 points, 4 votes

yuhhhhh

i love how gross that record sounds, but also how there feels like there's a real narrative to it as it slowly gets more accessible and exploratory

^ otm. When the album first got mentioned in the voting thread, I turned it off after a few tracks because I thought it didn't belong to the emo poll. But then 'Radon' came up on shuffle later on, and it almost was like a different band.

This thirty ought six album is great. Somehow never heard it before, but so far it's right up my alley

big [lol] tie coming up on the hour

must be avril lavigne tied with rites of spring?

never heard this 30-06. it's good

Can't wait to start listening to these! Spottie otm re: Existentialism on Prom Night chorus. 'Sing like you think no one's listening' is a refrain I have sung frequently for the last 12 years. That SR album was pretty high on my ballot - beautiful.

yeah i love that straylight run made it, that album was part of my great emo conversion

also: happy emo poll, there's a new dave bazan record http://www.stereogum.com/1925498/stream-david-bazan-care/music/album-stream/

85 [TIE]. blink-182 - Enema of the State
123 points, 4 votes

lmao

i voted for two of those records

i voted for one of them :p the fireside! that was a wonderful discovery from the nominations.

lol

i prefer take off your pants and the self-titled to enema

i disagree enema is a perfect pop blast

that isn't "perfect pop" with square quotes

the katydid will be torn apart, and its dismembered body carried back to the bivouac

So happy that Fireside made it!

enema is also like the shiniest punk record on earth

you put an 'n' instead of a 't'

Yes, Fireside!

Last time I heard Enema was when I started dating my wife. It still sounds good some fifteen years later.

Whoa, thanks, other two voters.

i guess i better listen to this

The Fireside record was a cool discovery from the noms thread for me too but it just missed my ballot in the end.

this next one is the last one for today and also TOO LOW

81. Dashboard Confessional - A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar
128 points, 4 votes

Bivouac too low! Would have been my number 1 to be honest if I hadn't dropped the ball.

Shotmaker is also too low.

What a joy this thread is already. Thanks for doing this. Hoping the "too low" comments continue well into the top 10

haha we did it sund4r! shotmaker makes the cut

xp too low maybe but given how relatively unknown they are it's great to see it place

Better too low comments than too high. (I've refrained from 1 so far haha)
