Anyway, checking out some of the albums I hadn't heard before but wow, The Ugly Organ is pretty good, isn't it?

i guess i just didn't think some of these fringe inclusions would make it this high in the countdown.

I ignored the Crying album last year since I'm a miserable contrarian asshole who ignores records people go apeshit for because they underwhelm more often than not; this is quite sweet and endearingly dorky though.
For some reason people are comparing it to Dream Theater lol

Can't imagine any other genre poll on ILX with quite so many "this isn't [genre we are polling]" comments― Evan R,
― Evan R,
Metal poll has nothing on this poll.
― Odysseus, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:27 (seven years ago) link
yeah metal would be the only thing that comes close. But this is metal if, like, 60% of the acts on that poll pushed back against being called metal

**VG Listening Update***
Sunny Day Real Estate - holy fuck it really is like Pearl Jam is the backing band, musical similarities are nuts. But not in a mimicking way. Anyway: Love love LOVE. On first listen I def prefer Diary over Rising Tide
Fireside are great. Very enjoyable
I also dug back into older Jimmy Eat World (Static Prevails) yeah they def fit into this emo profile i'm building lol. Love this other dude's vocals, and the harmonies together b/w two singers blend so well

too bad it literally never happens again in their discography

last one for today and the band i'm actually willing to leave the comfort of my home tnite to see live
lol that is beautiful kismet
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:34 (seven years ago) link
have they said why they switched? like did it cause conflict? other dude stayed in the band afaict or am i wrong
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:36 (seven years ago) link
btw Three Mile Pilot are indeed amazing
knew you'd like them!
don't think it was nominated but you shld really check out "another desert, another sea"
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:39 (seven years ago) link
i think the official story is that jim just started writing soooo much and tom just sorta recognized what was happening and stepped back (possibly this is fanfic i've absorbed over the years). tom is still the guitarist though yeah

― gr8080,
If I had nominated anything I would have nominated this for sure.
I would also have nominated a few things on Hydrahead that was screamo. Isis - Celestial was considered screamo at the time and thats prob why I got into them. It's also why metal purists hated them of course.

that's kinda cool imo xpost

but City of Caterpillar wasn't even nommed and I persuaded enough people to listen to them (and Gospel) and they voted them in so I'm happy!
― Odysseus, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:55 (seven years ago) link
ok well at least isis weren't nominated

yeah i don't even think that qualifies
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 23:01 (seven years ago) link
Surely at least one Converge album will place. I'd hope Jane Doe would but who can tell with people saying "i love that band but they're not emo". The uncertainty makes it a fun poll.

idk Isis is totally mallpunk ime

One emo album on Hydrahead I really should have nominated but forgot about is Guitar Method by Kid Kilowatt.

i like the other stuff but it doesn't do it for me like that record
Jupiter is a pretty definitive post-hardcore album in my opinion, literally a hardcore band that stopped playing hardcore and started playing something else. Braid sounded like a hardcore band on Frankie Welfare Boy Age 5, and by Frame and Canvas were following more pop tropes than anything.
That said, Jupiter is not emo and I wouldn't have voted for it.

This thread has inspired me to give Fall Out Boy another chance...the plan was to work my way through chronologically (skipping the first one), but From Under the Cork Tree was just not my thing at all so I gave up. Got to listen to about half of Infinity on High at work today and yeah this is way better.

i was at isis and piebald shows back in the day, those bands all knew each other b/c boston is small but NO ONE at the time would have called isis emo (or converge or cave in tbh)
