That album screams sun to me. Honestly one of the few albums I associate with the weather, ha. I associate most of that bands stuff with seasons and weather and stuff honestly and I rarely do that.
YAMS and Ixora are both really snowy winter, In Motion is spring/summer, BMT is fall when it's getting colder. ESR is not an album I listen to
Butch Walker - Letters Jimmy Eat World - Futures Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit The Dangerous Summer - Reach for the Sun Green Day - American Idiot Butch Walker - Sycamore Meadows The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound Will Hoge - The Wreckage Cary Brothers - Who You Are John Mayer - Continuum Dashboard Confessional - Dusk and Summer Matt Nathanson - Some Mad Hope Mat Kearney - Nothing Left to Lose Safetysuit - Life Left to Go Butch Walker - The Rise and Fall... Counting Crows - Hard Candy Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light The Killers - Sam's Town City and Colour - Sometimes Chad Perrone - Wake Probably. This was extremely difficult. There were like 10 impossible cuts. But I couldn't do one per artist, just because those three Butch Walker records pretty much defined the decade for me.
top 4 accurately predicted, haha. I'm very glad Chad made it on the end, haha. I'm almost at the point of agreeing with you about Release being better though now. It's close.
I think they're pretty even, but I'd give the edge to RFTS if only because I don't really care for "Parachute." A lot of people love that one, but it's always been the clear weak point to me. BLG is very strange to me, because I saw them open for Butch Walker at my first-ever concert ahead of that release. CTL is weird too, though, because it's an album I associated very strongly with my junior year of high school, and it doesn't seem like that should have been 10 years ago already. It gets tripped up by a few super juvenile songs for me. Like "Learning to Fall." Just can't listen to that one anymore. Love Drunk feels less...awkwardly adolescent to me. You got so close! I'm glad that pretty much anyone on this website could list my all-time top five. YAMS is a perfect fall record for me.
I don't have quite the same emotional connection to Wake, and it's almost weird to include it on a 2000s list because I got to it later. I don't associate it with those years like everything else on this list. BUT, still had to include it.
I love that song! haha. I like that one more than almost any song on Love Drunk actually. I don't think it's any more juvenile than something like "Love Drunk" or "The First One" and I think it's way better written. I'm not a huge fan of Love Drunk though honestly, my least favourite on the first album is probably "Broken Man" and I still like it more than a lot of "Love Drunk". I'm not a big Bon Jovi fan, ha.
Yep he did. It's very of its time. It came out at the height of the Bush Administrations ridiculousness. Idk if it'll hit you like it has us Americans, but if my understanding of UK politics is right then you've had a couple guys that could fit that bill. Plus it's got a great sense of anarchy which I really like
I think part of my problem with Green Day is his voice just doesn't do much for me, especially when they try and do more ambitious stuff. I love "Basket Case" but I've never really got much further than that with the band. I mostly just like that song and a few other singles.
I feel the same way about his voice that Craig feels about Dan from The Wonder Years. Billies voice is just exhausting
haha, I can hear that. I'm listening to AI now and after the first three songs, one of which is like 9 minutes, I'm already getting tired of it.
