I got to Ottawa well after 5 Arlington. Only moved there in 1999 (and wasn't old enough to start going to shows until like 2000, 2001). The way people used to talk about Shotmaker in hushed tones though, wow. I listened to a few mp3s off of soulseek at the time but more or less forgot their name until now!!! currently listening to mouse ear, damn i like this even more thna I thought I would in 2017/at age 32!

I think part of the difficulty of the idea of the emo poll is the nostalgia factor, which makes it difficult to pick up new favorites to vote for the way you could with eg one of the year end polls. mostly you just end up deepening your love for records you already adore (as has been the case with me + the weatherthans, juno, fireworks). but I could see throwing this a few points.
