Wow yours was actually really good I would've loved to see more one for the kids but I doubt they'll play any of that anyway. I'm just hoping for maybe rough draft live.
I'd go with: 1. MSK 2. Transmission Home 3. The Takedown 4. Always Summer 5. With You Around 6. Make Me So 7. Keeper 8. Lights & Sounds 9. Shrink the World 10. The Deepest Well 11. Here I Am Alive 12. Fighting 13. Telescope 14. For You, and Your Denial 15. Light Up the Sky 16. Life of a Salesman 17. Gifts and Curses 18. Hang You Up 19. Firewater 20. Five Becomes Four 21. Date Line 22. The Only One Encore: 23. Ocean Avenue 24. California Clearly Paper Walls and Lift a Sail are my favorite YC albums...
Paper Walls is such a criminally underrated record. Easily my favorite record of theirs and it's not even close.
Also I'd take out every song off of Lift a Sail, maybe just one song in the set to cover all their bases. Personally I don't think it holds up well at all to the rest of their discography.
Ummm... "As always, the rules are 22 songs and a two song encore." ?? Although I did double-check and JEW was 22 songs total... guessing this should say "22 songs including a two song encore"? I'd cut Gifts & Curses and Five Becomes Four.
Oh, Becky had a typo in her original post. My arbitrary rules for the original list was 22 total songs.
I brought up this game in one of the threads but now that it's time to actually try and narrow it down I literally can't so whoops.
I'm really surprised at the lack of Cut Me, Mick on any of these lists. Paper Walls is so good and that's probably my favorite Yellowcard song.
No Always Summer makes it a no from me. That said, I'm only really into Ocean Avenue, Paper Walls, WYTTSY & Southern Air. The rest I either haven't checked out (somehow I never properly gave Lights and Sounds a go), or just don't like (pre Ocean Avenue, Lift A Sail).
In hindsight I guess it wasn't cheating since I put "Breathing" twice. I guess I just really want to hear "Breathing".
To be honest there were a lot more songs off that album (I'm a sucker for "How I Go" and "City of Devils" and "Sure Thing Falling"). I thought cutting it back to three was pretty fair.
Yeah, I understand. It's just a preference thing... I never thought I could dislike a Yellowcard record as much as I did that one. I really, really tried to give it more chances than I would normally give to an album I didn't care for and it just never clicked with me...
We should create some kind of tribute band. These are most of my favorites. These and Sure Thing Falling.
This is REALLY LATE. But I've been on a strong YC kick and remembered Becky did this. Here goes! 1. For You and Your Denial 2. Way Away 3. Make Me So 4. Always Summer 5. Rest In Peace 6. Rough Landing, Holly 7. The Hurt Is Gone 8. California 9. Convocation/Transmission Home 10. Shrink The World 11. Breathing 12. Sure Thing Falling 13. Rivertown Blues 14. Life of Leaving Home 15. Afraid 16. Crash The Gates 17. Illuminate 18. Leave A Light On 19. Southern Air 20. Holly Wood Died Encore 1. Awakening 2. Ocean Avenue
