It just doesn't sound like a MCS song to me, and it's too sing-song of that makes sense. I do like it though

 

Huh, interesting! I don't think I've heard anyone here in the midwest say it haha. but hey, at least I learned something new!

 

Wait which one are you talking about?

 

Worker Bee, but really neither of them are very typical to their sound

 

I always though History Lesson sounded like something you'd here in an Irish Pub. And yea they're definitely both a little different, although I do think Worker Bee fits with the sound of that album, if not MCS in general.

 

Yeah or something like Blue October, I always thought

 

"Worker Bee" easily one of their top 20, if not higher.

 

I think Worker Bee sounds pretty typical MCS. History Lesson not really, but thats a fun song

 

I like the rock version of History Lesson more.

 

i do too i actually swapped them out. I like the album version its got a real good bridge but the rock version just fits the album better imo.

Even If It Kills Me

That is a great top 30. Not far off from what mine will probably end up looking like.

 

Mine would probably be mostly CTTM & EIIKM followed by half of MDL

 

"Worker Bee" is one of my top 10 "I'm feeling really happy right now" songs of all time. It's also the song that helped get me back into MCS.

Agreed with @CoffeeEyes17 that "Hold Me Down" is the best MCS song.

 

I take back what I said about Worker Bee idk I was just talking

It's been in my head all day

 

Better late than never!

 

Things I wasn't really aware before the lists in this thread:

People majorly underrate "Antonia"

 

i was sad when i realized "Antonia" was about different people and not just one woman. Justin said in an interview there are even parts of it that are about Tony lol.

great song, lower half of EIIKM for me though.

 

I don't know if I could rank all their songs, that's a tall order for any band. I'd also be putting the vast majority of IATM right at the bottom.

 

yes and yes

 

In my top 15. Wonderful song.

 

Agreed. Heartfelt, pop-culture laden, snarky, surprising. Everything good about Justin's lyrics all in one place.

 

Name dropping Ben Folds Five *heart eye emoji*

 

She loves the smell of Christmas trees
She sneezes when she sees bright lights
She fainted on the kitchen floor
When her father passed away
Our baby girl is due this May
And when the little lady grows up
I hope that she will be just like her mother

My favourite part.

 

Justin can balance being humorous and touching and dark so well. Shows that Smiths influence so well.
