After much listening today I've decided that 'The Takeover' is YC's best album opener and 'Convocation' is just he most beautiful instrumental piece these guys have written in any song of theirs.

 

The violin and piano section of Gifts and Curses is easily my favorite instrumental piece they have done, I wish they made more songs like that

 

I always forget how good Gifts and Curses is. Elite flex.

 

Three Flights Up will always be my favorite instrumental. Major nostalgia with that especially the Lights & Sounds album in general.

Another song I feel gets forgotten cause it’s not on any of their albums but remains my favorite YC song is Gifts & Curses, I absolutely love that song and it sucks it’s not on streaming services. The Spider-Man 2 soundtrack in general was pretty good.

Edit: hey wow some gifts & curses love above me didn’t see that coming!

 

I know it sounds ridiculous sometimes, but they had a really solid run of b-sides that still are some of their best songs

Rough Draft, Gifts and Curses and Firewater all would land in my Top 10 songs from them, no question

 

I liked Three Flights Down too

 

Great song. They have a bunch of well done covers too, like New Found Glory's Ready and Willing, John Lennon's Oh My Love, Michelle Branch's Everywhere, Lagwagon's Violins, and Tony Sly of No Use For A Name's Already Won.

 

Three flights down is my favorite favorite of theirs. I agree that most of their bsides are some of my favorite songs
Just got sad that gifts and curses isnt streaming


Also I deff can’t rank albums and can’t even pick fave per album lol

 

dammit. I forgot all about that

 

One for the Kids - October Nights
Ocean Avenue - Back Home
Lights & Sounds - Martin Sheen or JFK
Paper Walls - Paper Walls (Light Up the Sky is their best single of all time though, don't @ me)
When You're Through Thinking - Be the Young
Southern Air - Southern Air
Lift a Sail - Lift a Sail
Yellowcard - Empty Street

 

I rank it 3rd personally but I can get down with it being 4th as long as the 3 albums above it are Southern Air, WYTTSY and Paper Walls.

 

Something of Value
Ocean Avenue
Down on My Head
Five Becomes Four
The Sound of You and Me
Always Summer
Illuminate
The Hurt Is Gone

 

Now let's do worst songs!!!

 

Worst songs...

One for the Kids - Big Apple Heartbreak
Ocean Avenue - Believe
Lights & Sounds - Two Weeks From Twenty
Paper Walls - Dear Bobbie
When You're Through Thinking - Soundtrack
Southern Air - Here I Am Alive
Lift a Sail - Make Me So or Deepest Well
Yellowcard - Hurt is Gone

 

Worst songs (although I don't actually dislike any of these for the most part):
OFTK - Trembling
OA - Twentythree
L&S - Probably Down On My Head, although I still do really like it (there are going to be so many people saying 2 weeks from 20 here which will make me sad)
PW - Date Line (another song I feel bad putting here)
WYTTSY - Hide
SA - Here I Am Alive
LaS - Make Me So
YC - Savior's Robes (my only real critique of this one is that I think it would've been way better if they would've gone from the bridge to some epic violin/guitar 1-2 minute outro instead of just right back into the chorus. All that tension just feels kind of wasted to me)

 

Oh Snap! Date Line is my all time favorite YC song haha.

 

Sorry! This is not a slight on Date Line at all, since I love every song on Paper Walls. It's just probably the one song on the album that I rarely listen to if I'm not listening to the whole album and something had to go there, so... :P

 

tbh I haven't listened to any other Yellowcard other than the last three records in a LONG time

 

Rough Draft is easily the best song on One For The Kids followed by Cigarette and October Nights

 

OFTK - Rough Draft
Ocean Avenue - Back Home
Lights and Sounds - Grey
Paper Walls - Cut Me, Mick
WYTSSY - Be The Young
Southern Air - Southern Air
Lift A Sail - Fragile and Dear
Yellowcard - Empty Street
B Sides - Bombers, Promises

 

idc how much people dislike the spoken word stuff in Dear Bobbie, Two Weeks From Twenty is the worst song this band has ever recorded

 

Agree completely

 

I’m not going down the “worst” road with this band. Way too many good songs to try and sift through just to say something’s the worst when it’s not.
