Regarding the emo/non-emo distinction: maybe this is too obvious to be right, but I've always thought that one of the main things that distinguishes emo from adjacent punk-derived styles was its focus, especially lyrically but also musically, on vulnerable emotions like sadness and desperation.
That would explain why a band with a sterling emo pedigree like Fugazi (half of Rites of Spring and the lead singer of Embrace!) isn't really emo (lots of oblique, outward-looking songs about politics and stuff), while a band with virtually no subcultural connection to emo like Weezer can place an album in the top ten of this poll.

You could have done a top 150 rollout and it still would have been great. A sign of a great poll imo!
One of the polls I've most enjoyed in YEARS

I'm still bewildered that the genre turned into pop punk with make up and haircuts. Not so much pop punk as that's inevitable I suppose things will get poppier as major labels get involved by why the make up/haircuts? where did that come from? It had been over a decade since the heyday of hair metal. How did it end up like it has?

Like it was weird to me when it went all dashboard confessional type stuff from a while then it changed drastically again. But I suppose hardcore dudes with acoustic guitars isnt that much of a stretch but changing again to what it did.
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 23:38 (seven years ago) link
the move to dashboard and pop-punk and post hardcore etc makes perfect sense to me - the weird ingredient imo is where all the goth stuff comes from. AFI, MCR, Alkaline Trio - what's the source document for gothy emo music?
― Mordy, Friday, 10 March 2017 23:40 (seven years ago) link
gotta say i didn't think i'd have to rep american nightmare? my bad.
american nightmare - am/pm
or maybe everyone just hates it. there are few things i can think of that are more "emo" (altho maybe it's just too "hardcore"?)
I was counting the good things about this city / The only good thing is you are not here

AFI I assume were Misfits fans. The others Marilyn Manson maybe?It's the only thing I can think of but I am an outsider to emo. Though I was still buying Kerrang when these bands started coming through.
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 23:43 (seven years ago) link
think it's just The Cure tbh
― devvvine, Friday, 10 March 2017 23:45 (seven years ago) link
definitely for mcr
who was the first of the glammy/goth emo bands to get known outside of the scene?
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 23:50 (seven years ago) link
mcr is definitely the first one i can think of
afi are barely emo but decemberunderground uses a ton of the genre's tricks

mordy based on your list you are the most faithfully emo, i think the exercise might've benefited from you policing more aggressively after all

Props to Mordy and ArchC for the poll, I've run two so I know how much time/effort it takes.
I had a blast over the last few weeks reacquainting myself with so much music I hadn't really visited in a while. Was fun re-forming opinions on this stuff at such a different phase in my life. As well as learning about so much more.
Genuine thanks to everyone involved in the nomming/rollout for keeping it light and fun. Ive got a lot of not-emo(!) gripes with a fair share of the picks but it doesn't matter in the end, great results anyway. My fav part of these types of threads is when people talk about their favorite tracks and album moments and specific details about those, and there was a lot of that itt. Hi5 to Brad, Simon, AC, Mordy, my closest neighbors I think.

and yes having recently done the Cohen poll I am also aware of how much of a pain in the neck these are to run!

Really regretting not voting for Orange Rhyming Dictionary now - listened to it last night for the first time in ages and it sounded great. Also it was the very first emo album I bought (January 2000 after seeing it mentioned in the NME). Happily I discovered I still have the CD lying around.

Best discoveries from the poll?
― Odysseus, Saturday, 11 March 2017 13:18 (seven years ago) link
Mostly new stuff to me. Currently enjoying the Weakerthans and Appleseed Cast.
And not to harp on, but There Will Be Fireworks are worth a listen in this vein:
