did you read about the 25 emo anthems in Kerrang! what others should have been added to the list?

Well they chose 20/20 Surgery by TBS when they should of used Cute Without The E.

wot album is that on?

20/20 Surgery is on the new one released a couple of weeks ago... Cute Without The E is on Tell All Your Friends.

 

Anyway, I haven't seen the list.

no havent got the new one. only got Tell all yur friends up to now

But anyway, until I bother to go out and buy the magazine, here's a few that I think should be on the list (though obviously they may already be on there):

 

 

Brand New - 'The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows' (the ultimate emo anthem, no messing)

Brand New - 'Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades' (can you tell I'm a huge fan of Brand New? :lol:)

Taking Back Sunday - 'Cute Without The E (Cut From The Team)'

Idlewild - 'A Modern Way Of Letting Go' (officially the best unintentional emo song ever)

 

I don't really know where else to aim without going into more pop-punk territory, so I'll just head off to buy the magazine and get back with more stuff that fits in with their list.

 

Back in ten minutes. :lol:

OK then... bearing in mind that I've not read it through and am just commenting as I see them:

 

The Used - 'Take It Away' - it's alright...

Hawthorne Heights - 'Niki FM' - I quite like Hawthorne Heights generally.

My Chemical Romance - 'Helena' - not their best song by far, I would've gone for 'Headfirst For Halos' as being more classically emo and generally better.

Atreyu - 'The Remembrance Ballad' - Fantastic choice, amazing song.

Brand New - 'Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades' - well, I said it should be there, but I would've chosen the other one.

Head Automatica - 'Beating Heart Baby' - not a massive fan, to be honest I would've gone for something by Glassjaw if I was looking to shoehorn Daryl Palumbo in somewhere.

Rites Of Spring - 'End On End' - well, they invented the genre so they've gotta be in here somewhere... great song.

Coheed & Cambria - 'Welcome Home' - they've done more anthemic than this, but it is a bloody good song.

Theaudition - 'Approach The Bench' - not heard this one.

Thrice - 'Red Sky' - not quite your classic emo, but a great song anyway.

The Get Up Kids - 'Action & Action' - great, can't argue with that.

Aiden - 'World By Storm' - alright I guess.

Funeral For A Friend - 'She Drove Me To Daytime Television' - great stuff.

Underoath - 'Reinventing Your Exit' - Yeah, I like these guys. One of their better tracks.

Armor For Sleep - 'The Truth About Heaven' - haven't heard this one, but I do like their other stuff.

Taking Back Sunday - 'Twenty-Twenty Surgery' - awesome track but I would've gone for something else.

Angels & Airwaves - 'The Adventure' - not bad...

Circa Survive - 'In Fear And Faith' - It's a bit Coheed really, I like.

Finch - 'What It Is To Burn' - I like it, but they've done loads better.

Fightstar - 'Hazy Eyes' - phenomenal. I love Fightstar and this is one of their best.

The Fall Of Troy - 'F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X' - not a bloody clue.

Jimmy Eat World - 'If You Don't, Don't' - They've done lots better too.

Dashboard Confessional - 'Hands Down' - Great song but I would've chosen many of theirs before this.

Matchbook Romance - 'Surrender' - Erm... dunno.

From First To Last - 'Mothersound' - don't know this one either.

 

I'll comment more later, undoubtedly with stuff that I would've chosen instead.

Half of these songs aren't 'emo' anyway.

Well, not in the original sense of the term, but it's got so diluted these days that nobody really knows what is and what isn't any more.

True.
