How anyone can list Southern Air as the worst song in any capacity is absolutely beyond my understanding

 

Southern Air is my favorite song on Southern Air. Closely followed by Sleep In The Snow.

 

Yeah Southern Air is a top 5 YC song.

 

A lot of nope right here

 

Regarding Southern Air - Seriously, this band doesn't have too many extended grooves, but letting that riff play out for around a minute at the end really lets the song breathe, and I love it to close the album

 

I love every song on the album, but I had to pick one!

 

One For The Kids - "A.W.O.L."
Ocean Avenue - "Life Of A Salesman"
Lights And Sounds - "Martin Sheen Or JFK"
Paper Walls - "Dear Bobbie"
When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes - "Hide"
Southern Air - "A Vicious Kind"
Lift A Sail - "Crash The Gates"
Yellowcard - "I'm A Wrecking Ball"

 

i like Dear Bobbie

 

"Sing For Me" being named the worst song on WYTTSY is...just...jesus christ

 

Yeah, it hurt a lot but I had to go with that one

 

“Dear Bobbie” is such a sweet song. I don’t know how it’s so divisive.

 

Do people like Thirteen and Virtue?

 

I like Virtue better, but listen to both of them on a somewhat regular basis and think they're both really good

 

I enjoy both. Its sort of something calming I throw on in the background and enjoy. I just play them together as an album. Hope he gets some new music soon.

 

Lists! Yellowcard songs I find to be underrrated:

A.W.O.L.
One Year, Six Months
Sure Thing Falling
Fighting
See Me Smiling
Telescope
Crash The Gates
What Appears

 

I'm not doing worst songs because I genuinely like most of the songs on nearly all records, and saying one is the worst when it's still actually a good song feels a bit off.

 

Yes yes yessss

 

Someone put DATE LINE!? Lolololol

 

Worst

One for the Kids - Rock Star Land
Ocean Avenue - Believe
Lights & Sounds - Words, Hands, Hearts
Paper Walls - Dear Bobbie
When You're Through Thinking - Be The Young (what a terribly generic closer)
Southern Air - Here I Am Alive
Lift a Sail - the whole record is pretty awful but probably One Bedroom? Also, that album art - woof
Yellowcard - Leave a Light On

 

I almost put that as my favorite for Paper Walls and now I wish I have. That song is top shelf YC.

 

I mean, now you're coming for the artwork? I challenge you to a sword fight!

 

Hahahah do you like the cover art?? It looks like a C-list Disney channel artist cover to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Idk I think it looks gorgeous. It'd just look better if the band/album names weren't that prominent, or with a different typography

 

Fair enough! Just curious - what’s your worst list?

 

I don't know yet. I'm not familiar enough with their early records to recall every song just by their titles so I need to give them another listen this week. From Paper Walls onwards I've got some ideas.
