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

pffft, no way. i guess discount probably won't sneak in but i'm expecting jejune, the anniversary, rainer maria (maybe)

I'd be shocked if Rainer Maria makes the cut. They seem like the quintessential "I thought you were gonna vote for them" band

ditto the Kathleen Edwards love

I almost did but they got cut because I couldnt actually recall the album i liked

it was almost inevitably look now look again get it together kerr

xxp yeah Rainer Maria suffer from not having one clearly great album.

One thing I always respected about them is that their attempted mass appeal/spotlight album Long Knives Draw was much better than many other emo acts' of their era. Good album

fantastic album

great album, not emo imo

thats why i figured i couldnt vote for it

LTIU is probably a top 10 album of all time for me. I couldn't vote for it either

see also: Refused

I voted for it because I'm a rebel.

64. Rilo Kiley - The Execution of All Things
150 points, 4 votes, 1 number one

that's our first #1 vote i think

this record is not emo at all imo but coincided with me listening to a lot of emo so fine, it's also home to the lyric "and i feel nothing" which is pretty emo

yay! :)

also maybe a little welcome based on the most recent discussion itt?

it's an album about worrying a lot and relocating to Omaha to hang out with emo people, I don't know how much more emo it gets

in FORM evan. in form

fuck, pinkerton is gonna be #1 nooooo

this rilo kiley band is indie rock 2 the bone

lol yeah it doesn't fit all the conventions, but listen to that group chorus on "With Arms Outstretched."

Incredible album. Can't believe it came out in 2002; I remember picking it up the day it came out and listening to it on a CD walkman

it's def an album i have Cried to. Often

also true of the other inevitable indie rock interloper the meadowlands

at least ppl in the same circle were also listening to rilo kiley at the time? as i remember it anyway? the wrens as much as i love them were just a whole different thing. that said i think i gave the meadowlands like a #30 on my ballot lol

It feels very of a piece with Paramore's s/t album, not just because of the easy comparison of two charismatic, fashionable redhead singers, but of how it uses one very strong personality and songwriting voice to bind together all sorts of different genre detours

Anyway most people must not consider it emo b/c that's the only thing that explains it placing so low (I just revisited my ballot and saw I left it off, but in hindsight I'd place it high on my list)

def not emo for me. sounds good tho

few albums capture me being super sad in college as well as execution

you say i choose sadness
that it never once has chosen me
maybe you're right

with arms outstretched is awesome great campfire singalong song

Interviewed Jenny Lewis last year and she likened her time in Omaha to summer camp, and yeah, this is the album that most captures that sense. There's a glamour to it that I still find intoxicating 15 years later, this sense that you're hanging out with all your closest friends. I love when albums create the sense of belonging

63. Aereogramme - Sleep And Release
151 points, 4 votes, 1 number one

can someone explain aereogramme to me. is it prog

huh actually this is nice and something i would've LOVED in high school

was never a huge fan of this band/album but the opener absolutely RIPS. Kinda a BtS/Foo Fighters thing. Rest of the album is wonkier

Haven't heard this song in like 13 years. thx

oh yeah wow that song Rocks

never heard of this band.liking that song

Later on there's another monster, but with piano instead of bass:

Just catching up, many xposts but I love the cover connection with the tie at #67 (I haven't heard either but they're on The List).

Their final album, My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go, is more post-rock and my favorite (although I'm in the minority with that opinion).
