Your favourite 'emo' song.

lemonbrickcombo [Edit] [Delete] 73 replies 14:50, 15 January '08

I'm going to say either Five, Eight and Ten by Mineral or In Circles by Sunny Day Real Estate.

I just love that plucked intro to Five, Eight and Ten.

I know this thread has been done before, but I've been listening to far too much of this stuff to not post about it.

Assuming I'm allowed to call them emo

American Football- Never Meant

- emo's not a dirty word anymore
  
  its not being played on MTV anymore.

- It was a toss up between that and
  
  Me Vs Maradona Vs Elvis

- I love
  
  all of the songs mentioned so far. I'd say I prefer Seven to In Circles by SDRE though.
  
  Guided_By_Starlight | 15 Jan '08, 14:57 | X
- I wholeheartedly agree with In Circles by Sunny Day Real Estate
  
  infact the whole of Diary is amazing
  
  dash_and_blast | 15 Jan '08, 14:57 | X
  - It's the best album ever made.
    
    That's a solidgoldfact.
    
    Actually, this might be a good thread. I love SDRE: what else should I be listening to? I shall take recommendations from this thread and either wilfully ignore them or make some informed purchases.

    - Braid

      Guided_By_Starlight @bamos | 15 Jan '08, 15:00 | X
      - I like Braid and all
        
        but they aren't as good as some other stuff. Maybe they're less immediate and I need to devote some more time to them. I only have The Age of Octeen which I'm told is their weaker album.
        
        lemonbrickcombo @Guided_By_Starlight | 15 Jan '08, 15:39 | X
        
        Get
        
        Frame and Canvas. It might change your mind.

    - I posted a massive list in a thread a few days ago
      
      and i can't be arsed typing it out again.
      
      The thread was called 'good old-new emo' or something.

  as emo.
  
  Under ANY of its variations.
  
  fullerov @LoveRhymesWith | 15 Jan '08, 15:08 | X
  - Sunny Day Real Estate - Song About an Angel
    
    or Steps and Numbers by the Appleseed Cast, if you could call them emo.

      the drumming in it is amazing

    On The Might Of Princes - The Swell And The Breaking
    Further Seems Forever - The Moon Is Down/The Bradley
    
    I love emo a considerable amount.
    
    waterwings | 15 Jan '08, 15:09 | X
  - Does anyone think that...
    
    Absinthe Party..... by Minus The Bear could qualify as emo, it's definitely a bit emo-fied. If that makes any sense. If it counts then thats a great song.
    
    GalacticStar3ruption | 15 Jan '08, 15:11 | X
    - Braid - A Dozen Roses

      Jamie_Summers | 15 Jan '08, 15:14 | X
      - Well if you're going to pick a Braid song it'd have to be
        
        Forever Got Shorter.

        That, along with I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional by American Football are two of my favourite songs of all time.

        Thats not predicatable. Thats well controversial!
        
        DanielKelly @shucks | 15 Jan '08, 15:19 | X
        
        is it?
        
        Didn't realise. Even though I prefer their new stuff, this is probably my favourite track.

      I was going to say something by Get Up Kids, but someone else mentioned my beloved Brand New as being 'emo' so what the hell: "Limousine"
      
      Or 'I Can Climb Mountains' by Hell Is For Heroes. Tune.
