we're going to have to work out the most emo cover in the top 100 when this is all done
Ha! Regardless of what else places I'm voting Tell All Your Friends.

I ended up not voting for any Get Up Kids. I listened to bits of a couple records and they didn't hit me like I thought they were going to. And yet I really like "I'm a Loner, Dottie, a Rebel..." which reminds me I forgot to vote for the Post Marked Stamps comp CD.
I saw the Hold Steady open for the Get Up Kids years ago. Weird bill. The emo kids were not into THS. Six months later I saw THS again in a small venue and mentioned the show to Craig outside the club. His response: "Well, when you fuck with emo, emo fucks with you."

if i ever write that book about emo (lol) four minute mile will be extremely central to its thesis bc it's, as far as i know, the first record of its kind to be so simultaneously recognizably emo and recognizably pop-punk, plus it inspired almost every band that came after

"Saw my baby boy, digging his own hole/keeping alive family tradition" makes me tear up every time.

"Well, when you fuck with emo, emo fucks with you."
this is funnier than any actual Hold Steady lyric

Simon I just checked the original thread and you did nominate them. They somehow failed to get from that thread into the nomination list. I'm so sorry :(

i've always thought the ugly organ was pretty uneven compared to domestica but the first five or so tracks are all fire
