Motion City Soundtrack Band • Page 21

I can see that.

 

That's my second least favourite on there but I still think it's a fair bit better than Calling All Cops.

 

Calling All Cops is worth it, if for no reason but the bridge/outro.

 

Calling All Cops is for sure the worst song on that album but its still a fine song

 

My Dinosaur Life is what made me start appreciating these guys. I wasn't that into them until that album came out. Good album.

 

My Dinosaur Life got me into them and then I went back and really fell in love.

 

I truly don't think there's an MCS song that I don't think is at least good, so that's always a caveat with me. (Inside Out and TKO come the closest though.)

I started listening to them (outside of a couple songs) on an in depth level somewhere between EIIKM and MDL, and by the time MDL came out they had easily become my favorite band, so that record is always going to be special for me because it was the first time I was actually a part of the release cycle. Right when it came out they played an acoustic show at a Best Buy near me and had a signing and it was like my 3rd show (1st time seeing MCS). Incredible.

 

EIIKM was the one for me.

 

I also think that was the ideal time to get into them, because I pretty much see IATM, CTTM, and EIIKM as a trilogy of sorts. Each one got distinctively "poppier", but I think they all have a familiar vibe, and then I think MDL was the first one that they really shook up the formula on, so coming right at the end of the first act/in time for what came after I think maybe helped me appreciate the later albums more.

 

"Point of Extinction" is easily one of my favorite on there. Craziness.

A few picks have me scratching my head but overall solid list.

 

Which picks?

 

Hangman in top 10 is crazy to me but based on other opinions I've seen I might be the weird one there, ha. Modern Chemistry is waaaaaay too low, as is Perfect Teeth, Together We'll Ring in the New Year and a lot of EIIKM tracks, ha. @!#?@! is also a strange one to have so high.

 

The longer I look at it the more I see baffling things, ha.

"It's a Pleasure to Meet You" over "It Had to Be You" is madness.

 

This is one of the few bands I'd consider ranking every song for but also what's the point when I know like 8 of the top 10 will be from CTTM

 

Man, do you hate I am the Movie. Haha

 

Do I? Mary Without Sound is top ten and there's another couple in the top 25. Red Dress is too low though. Looking at it now, I'd tinker a lot. Which is why I posted my first reactions haha.

 

i'm gonna rank every song someday but gotta listen to all of them a few times before i can trust myself with this task

top 20 though (no order outside of TTF being the best)

My Favorite Accident
Perfect Teeth
Indoor Living
Mary Without Sound

Time Turned Fragile (a top 5 song of all time)

L.G. Fuad

Timelines
Floating Down the River

CTTM > IATM > EIIKM > Go > MDL > PS

the only PS song i like is "Heavy Boots" and that's just because it's catchy as fuck but totally unremarkable

 

You're not alone. Best part of the CTTM tour was getting to finally see Hangman live. "I'm just a guy that never tried I'm just a stupid f*** with brilliant luck and sometimes a bright ideaaAAaaa" And it doesn't hurt that Mark Hoppus is singing it.

I'm going to have to make one of these lists.

 

Ha, I'm saying having Hangman in the top 10 is crazy. It's one of my least favourite songs by them.

 

Oh... I definitely misread that. Carry on.

 

Haha, you proved my point though. People like that song a lot.

 

i like it but it and "New Year" are the only ones on that album that i don't love. maybe its because there's something so much better coming right after them lol

 

Y'all are crazy Hangman is a top 5 MCS song
