QuoteDefinetly, Maybe - Oasis in the office at work.
Best of the Pixies - The Pixies at home
a bit of Siamese Dreams - the Smashing Pumpkins. touch of class
I know I started a thread on this a while back but I couldn't be bothered trawling back through God knows how many pages to find it now. So here goes...
1. Yellowcard - Ocean Avenue
Pop-punk/emo type thing. One of them plays a violin which adds a bit of a twist to the mix.
2. Funeral For A Friend - Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation
A kinda metally young band from Wales I think who have a kinda emocore vibe as well.
3. Lostprophets - Start Something
Welsh noisemakers. When they sometimes do comparatively mellow they do it very, very well. When they do loud they're decent too.
4. Dashboard Confessional - A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar
Not as good as their previous effort but solid enough. The first song ('Hands Down') is great
5. Something Corporate - North
Pop-punk/emo type thing. One of them plays a piano which adds a bit of a twist to the mix. It's a grower.
6. Less Than Jake - Greased
Less Than Jake covering the songs from 'Grease'. As dumb and as fun as it sounds really.
The ball is round and has many surprises.

For a defintion of emo click here
It's short for emotional too apparently and ignore the bit at the end slamming the newer emo bands for drifting towards the pop/punk side of things, some of the best emo bands have emerged in the last few years.
The ball is round and has many surprises.
The man has taste
I would recommend it. I just bought it on the strength of the title track which i thought was brilliant. Bit of a mixture of tunes but if you've liked what you've heard so far i think you'll like the album. Have just ordered their new album too. Their mix album "Too many DJs" is quality too.
The Eels- Beautiful Freak.

It is indeed, the only recent CD i've bought by someone new is The Street's.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Same here, mostly burn cds off mates. In fact libraries over here have great record collections, thinking of joining, and never having to buy a CD again! Actually i reckon The Streets newest CD is a bit overated by the way. Original Pirate Material was class, but the second one doesnt really live up to the hype, even though "Dry Your Eyes" is a great single.

I'm in Wales and thankfully the virus emo that is rampent in Britian has not yet infected the emerald isle.
Emotional Punk (emo for short) is an oximoran! Punk is not about emotion it about a pure release of adrenaline of eurphoria.
The emo kids are a group who all dress the same, have the same hair, talk the same, use the same phrases, all to prove how individual they are!
Their costumes consist of a musically credible bands tshirt (bought in topman or burtons!), a studded belt, a tennis wrist band and jeans worn below the arse with boxers hanging out!
We were born to hum.... hum god damn you!!!!
To right, Original pirate material was a touch of class, can't take ''Dry yer eye's'' serious anymore after being over in Ireland with Today fm playing in the car and that send up of the song about Beckham missing penalty's and the Dry yer eye's bit being song by someone taking off Roy Keane's voice.
Currantly listening to
Echo and the Bunnymen, Ocean rain
Jesus and Mary Chain, Psyco Candy
Definitely Maybe , Oasis
Anything at all by the Pixies
AND The Stone Roses.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
As opposed to every other scene where everybody looks totally different is it???
And as somebody who listens to some emo (I suppose I could be called a fan) I wear football shirts, no belts or wristbands, real runners as opposed to converse crap and have very un-emo long hair. So there goes your little theory out the window now huh?Though I will own up to absurdly baggy jeans and chords.
Emo is like any other scene of the last God knows how many years. Nu-metal, grunge, Brit-pop, that awful dance phase, hair metal and anything else. The majority of people who are 'into' a scene are just chancers looking for a group to belong to but the emo kids are no different to anybody else. 80% of rock fans are just trendy wannabes anyway and that goes all the way back, including the original punks (Sid Vicious anyone?).
The ball is round and has many surprises.
I agree with what you're saying but you're missing my point,
Emo is a buzz word, just like Brit pop in its day. The music(well some of it, most of the new stuff is very generic!) is not the issue, the kids are. The reason they bother me, more than the 16 year old goth trying to **** mammy off is that Wales and England are swamped with them at the moment. I'm sure that in a years time I'll have another click to annoy me, but for now let me have my rant!!!!

Fair enough my son, rant on!

Love the Streets, Sylvo. Not listening to them at the mo' though. I know he's got that whole 'talking over the top of a record' thing covered, but it's still genius. Last cd I actually bought was the Polyphonic Spree. It's.. it's kind of OK. Very very funny live, though.
