Good Emo Bands
 

I want to buy lots of music for some reason. Tell me some good bands

Try Coheed & Cambria

Either In Keeping Secret Of Silent Earth: 3 or Second Stage Turbine Blade, either's good

Far, New End Original, Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas Is The Reason.

And get some Fugazi. Not exactly emo, but good.

Yes, Sunny Day Real Estate kicks the ass..

Coheed and Cambria is also great.

I also like Saves the Day

Get Up Kids

no such thing

I like the Get Up Kids, Taking Back Sunday and Brand New.

I don't know if TBS and Brand New are true emo though

Isn't "Good Emo Band" a contradiction in terms?

I bet that seemed so funny when you first thought of it.

LOL I can see him giggling to himself while he typed it up

lmao. three times.

I know I have completely lost touch with what the kids like these days but what the hell is emo?

Pussies with guitars.

;)

The proper definition of it is "emotional hardcore", but the meaning's become massively distorted lately. So now it applies to any old band who are vaguelly punkish, melodic and sing about getting dumped or something...

Shit. I forgot. You're dicks

No, that would be you. And an unoriginal one at that.

So it sucks then? :p

Fu</>ck genres anyways. Good music is good music.

I have TBS, Saves the Day, Starting Line, Dashboard, Jimmy Eat World, and Brand New. Like All of thier CDs. But I'll check out the others, you seem to listen to the same stuff I do...

MORE CDS:

Armor For Sleep - Dream To Make Believe
Brand New - Deja Entendu (Possibly my all time favorite CD)
Midtown - Save The World, Lose The Girl
The Early November - The Room's Too Cold (This CD ****ing owns it like no other)

Check out Wakefield, dont remember the name of their cd though

Thrice - The Artist and the Ambulance

Thrice are not fu</>cking emo.

Well more or less.

They're always on tour with emo bands.

THEY'RE ALL THE SAME TO ME. :rant:

What the Hell is Thrice, anyways?

Pop Punk?

<font color=969696>The bands that are considered to be "emo" are the only bands that put emotion into their music. Depression and teenage love are the only real emotions.

Elements is stupid. He listens to metal. The only thing they do is scream about how much they hate the world.</font>

My advice is to ditch the emo crap and get the real deal.
Download some No Use For a Name, Lagwagon, 10 Foot Pole, NOFX etc.

Okily Dokily.

Prolly not gonna be my cup o tea then. About the only "punK" acts I listen to are the Ataris (Have So Long Astoria), Taking Back Sunday (They had a couple songs that caught my ear), and the Dropkick Murphys (Blackout: :love: )

Oh yeah, and since "emo" is supposed to be "punk," Coheed and Cambria, since they're supposed to be "emo."

Though one thing I must confess, I've never once actually LISTENED to the lyrics of their album...I might very well hate them if I did.

Emo is not Punk. Emo Pop Cultured wannabe punk.
That is all.

me and tidus listened to all on black by alk3 for the first time in months

i forgot how much i loved that song

To be fair, 99% of what's being called "Punk" or "Punk Rock" isn't punk either.

Since Punk was coined for bands like the VU, and Punk Rock originated with bands like the Sex Pistols or Ramones...

Sorry, couldn't think of any.
