all i can think of right now is bright eyes and like the early november.heh theres always dashboard confessional i dont wanna hear anybody say omg those are soo not emo!

the only emo songs I can think of are Dashboard Confessionals...I guess that Vindicated one and that other one of theirs but I can't think of it lol sawwry
Steph

no not vindicated, i think thats like their worst song.

edit// like the person below me said death cab for cutie. but they dont exactly fall into emo, indie like she/he said. i suggest you listen to them sometime.

I would tell you to listen to Death Cab For Cutie ..... but they don't usually go under the "emo" category - they're more indie rock in my opinion ... Many of their songs are good for that kind of depressed state of mind though.

omgg i LOVE death cab for cutie!! i always thought they were emo for some reason?? but yea, they put me in a sad mood! =P

anything by dashboard confessional. my one true love. lol

Death Cab For Cutie is AWESOME!...listen to them...

as for emo...try Taking Back Sunday...

Boys Night Out!

::Follows with maniacal laughter::

;o Indie isnt the same as emo. Emo uses more guitar+drums. Emo lyrics are stronger than Indie.

I recommend not listening to emo at all.

=P

i'd say... somthin along the lines of thursday or taking back sunday. "screamo", if you will. Funeral for a friend, from autumn to ashes, and atreyu are excelent.

Indie<33333

Anyway, emo, huh? Spitalfield's Five Days and Counting.

i don't know..... any, i don't think so at least.

i second that...

I love Boys Night Out.

You can listen to "Brekaing at Dead-Ends" by foreverDOWN. They can be found on purevolume.com

Matchbook Romance

Does it matter? It's all good music...

The Early November- Sunday Drive
Taking Back Sunday- Your Own Disaster

Dashboard Confessional-The Brillant Dance
Dashboard Confessional-So Impossible
Starting Line-Playing Favorites

I seriously reccomend Starting Line-Playing Favorites...Very good acoutical song.

Early Novembers not really emo.. But who cares. Listen to rock first and anything you pick out that seems sad enough its emo. I mean.. you're not listening to something JUST cause its emo ;] Rofl. Yeahh.. Blink-182 I Miss You is emo. I just like Emo style :) the musics.. okay..

Dashboard Confessional. I've just recently started listening to them =P

I love that song. =D

I don't know if you'd consider all these songs emo, but...

Dashboard Confessional - Remember to Breathe (That's my favorite from them/him.)
Brand New: Jaws Theme Swimming, Mix Tape, Soco Amaretto Lime, The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot
Bright Eyes - It's Cool, We Can Still Be Friends (This song makes me feel like crap, but in a good way. Anything else by him fits into the depressing category.)
Saves The Day: Freakish, Nightingale, Hold, Tomorrow Too Late
The Spill Canvas - All Hail the Heartbreaker

To the girl that commented on my response...

Yeah, why the hell do you think I said ... "Does it matter... it's all good music." Which kind of opens the doors for all types of rock songs that are pretty emotional...[that's what emo stands for]

maybe because I like to be OPEN MINDED about music... Did I come out and say... "oh here are some emo bands".... No... Have you ever heard Sunday Drive? That's a pretty depressing song

and by the way.. from my point of view, i don't think you really know what you're talking about...

Keep in mind, bands that are not categorized as 'emo' then... DO make emo songs...


f*ck it, i quit...

Uhm....

Brand New- The No Seatbelt Song


It's angsty more than emo I believe. But I guess it could fall under the same catergory. *shrugs*

Brand New- The Boy who blocked his own shot

That's more emo i think. I love that song!

dont usually listen to emo, so i dont know if these bands even are emo.. anyway. jawbreaker is good... and glassjaw. but yeah. try
sluttering -jawbreaker
do you still hate me -jawbreaker
i'm sorry -glassjaw

...hope i helped.

anything by thursday, taking back sunday, or dashboard confessional. all really good bands. or you could just listen to whatever you want to. that would probalby work better

hmm these days i dont listen to sad emo songs, i listen to happy and good songs hehe not like im gay is jut i love listening to happy songs...cause if i listen to sad songs, then i think about the bad past which i never want it to happen NEVER!! >.< =x

God, I really did wish you morons knew your [rock] music.

I guess people consider them different things?? lol.

There's no real rock. Everyone thinks what they think. *shrug*

As for emo....I think we should all know what emo is...LOL

Anything and everything by Dashboard Confessional. Le sigh.

This Old Wound is especially sad.

Haha. Yeah. Dashboard Confessional. Some of thier songs make me cry they're so sad

do realize there's differnt clbuttifications of rock music they like emo? or punk? yeah ok u might not like it but do u have to listen to it? nope... so dont put down other ppl's choices i mean u dont have to listen to it...

The best emo band on the planet is Further Seems Forever. They were also one of the first main emo bands of our generation. They're the reason you got bands liek Dashboard Confessional and Thursday....who suck anyway.



FSF - A New Desert Life
FSF - Pride War
FSF - Just Until Sundown
FSF - Wearing Thin
FSF - Madison Prep

Those are the best i can think of.

I've never heard of Further Seems forever Do you have some kind of link where I can hear them? lol. If they basically 'invented' emo then I wanna hear how good they are...

oooh ilove FSF's Just until sundown =)

another good fsf song is "light up ahead"
wasn't chris carrabba in that band n then he left to start dashboard?

Yes, he was. All the songs lpmatt618 are songs when Chris was with the band.


I've heard there's talks of a Dashboard/FSF tour! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! :reallyexcited:

linkin park - my december.

and if thats not an emo song, shoot me cuz i dont know what emo means!

the guy from further seems forever is also the singer for dashboard. and thursday is good, foo.

He is? whoa. lol. and THURSDAY is good!

I agree with the people who said to just listen to a rock song that sounds sad.....but if you want to get technical-Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard and stuff like that.

I thinks tha's emo/depressional . lol. I dunno Good suggestion though! That song rocks! lol

the only other song I can really think of that's emo/angst/suicidal is Hold On by Good Charlotte. Probably the best song they've ever written.

There are a lot. How about...Death Cab For Cutie?

try some taking back sunday-tell all your friends cd

Eh, hem... Chris Carrabba (the singer and founder of Dashboard Confessional) was also one of the original member and singer of FSF.

We have Dashboard Confessional not because of FSF... but because Chris believed that what he was writing and feeling at the time was too emotional to be used for FSF (even though he was writing the material for FSF as well) so he started performing by himself under the name of Dashboard Confessional (he couldn't perform as Chris Carrabba because then that would have confused him with FSF when he wanted to be apart from them).

And then eventually there were disputes between the members and Chris left the band and continued to perform as Dashboard Confessional... and then he started to create a full band.


So if you're saying Dashboard sucks, then you're pretty much saying FSF sucks as well. Well, the original FSF anyways.

i dunno if this really counts as an "emo" song since i cant really stand all that "AAAH MY GIRLFRIEND BROKE UP WITH ME AND NOW IM GONNA KILL MYSELF AND THEN B!TCH ABOUT IT SOME MORE IN MY AFTERLIFE!!!" kinda muck. but anyway...

blue and yellow by the used.... that song makes me cryy. i dunno why but it does.

Brand New-Seventy Times 7
Brand New-Failure By Design

has anyone said those?

i like FATA..haven't listen to much of funeral for a friend or atreyu.... screamo is good

yea i heard about that, but wasn't positive. thanks for clearing that up =P
