bakkermaarten007: 100 Times Indie Emo

CrimsonFloyd 05.26.12	You have a lot of time on your hands.
Rail 05.26.12	Awesome list, though I've only heard 9 of them. Bookmarked. Which of these are most like I Hate Myself?
bakkermaarten007 05.26.12	@Crimson Floyd: no, this is the result of another 4 hours of procrastination. @Rail: I Hate Myself just made this list, because I think they are just enough indie emo but most people would agree to call them screamo. But off this list, 54 will you give a similar despair.
PeterKlaven 05.26.12	Deer Leap/The World... - split
bakkermaarten007 05.26.12	I didn't want to add splits, otherwise this list would be full of them.
Eko 05.26.12	wow, monster list. are these ranked?
bakkermaarten007 05.26.12	No.
eternium 05.26.12	emooooooooooooo List rules.
Rail 05.26.12	@Maarten: Thanks man, I'll check it out. The cover doesn't make me feel much despair, but I'm sure it's ironic.
Eko 05.26.12	so if I've got 1, 10, 20, 21 53, 55, 61, 76, 77, 86, and 93 can you rec me like 5 of these
PeterKlaven 05.26.12	Been jamming nothing but emo lately
tom79 05.26.12	Been listening to a lot of this type lately. I have almost 20 of these, will definitely be looking into a lot more here. Nice job.
bakkermaarten007 05.26.12	@Eko: 2,19, 27, 35, 89 and maybe 100.
TheFonz123 05.26.12	This should get featured.
Adabelle 05.26.12	The ones I've heard (SDRE, I Hate Myself, American Football, Braid, Knapsack, Moneen, Everyone Asked About You, Cap'n Jazz) are fantastic, should really look into a few of the ones I've haven't heard
F0RBES 05.26.12	I actually have quite a few of these. 1, 5, 10, 17, 19, 20, 21, 32, 34, 35, 42, 43, 50, 53, 55, 61, 65, 67, 70, 75, 76, 78, 81, 86, 88, and 89. 19, 32, 43, 53, and 88 are beyond awesome.

Tyrael 05.26.12	sweet bookmarked
wacknizzle 05.27.12	Great fucking list, I can't wait to check out the one's on here I don't know which is quite a few. Props for Spy Vs. Spy and The Casket Lottery(good but not the album i would have chosen).
chambered49 05.27.12	65 rules
Storm In A Teacup 05.27.12	Which one of these is the best and most gritty and most epic?
minty901 05.27.12	i only have 10, 19, 22, 26, 27, 42, 43, 53, 55, 77, 86, 88, 89 and 98. need to get some more of these. good list. glad to see static prevails on there; that often gets forgotten. also, im totally digging empire empire right now.
minty901 05.27.12	@Storm. my favourite best/gritty/epic indie emo is "endserenading" by mineral, but thats not on this list. i think it's so much better than "the power of failing".
bakkermaarten007 05.27.12	Oh no, The Power Of Failing is much better, much more raw than Endserenading. But ofcourse tastes differ.
minty901 05.27.12	yeah i know im in the minority with that one. endserenading is a lot more emotional to me... seems to go all out on emotion, whereas power of failing has a bit of rocky/catchiness to it as well.
Thane 05.27.12	awesome list, man. check these two: audio recording club - in the end, we are all light everyone asked about you - let's be enemies (this got released recently)
bakkermaarten007 05.27.12	Thanks, will do.
SnipeCity 05.27.12	list rules
BlueW 05.27.12	holy shit bookmarked
Eko 05.27.12	Thanks bakker
Eko 05.27.12	I've never been able to get into Power of Failing much, I'll try EndSerenading sometime
bakkermaarten007 05.27.12	Eko: I can concur, it's been in my library for over 6 months before I decided to listen again. Then it sticked with me somehow, rated it 5. You know what they say about the albums that grow on you right? =)
Eko 05.27.12	yeah it is pretty dense, there's just a lot of screeching guitars and stuff going on, it's a lot to take in.
minty901 05.27.12	endserenading is the opposite of that. very stripped back and melodic.
bakkermaarten007 05.27.12	Yeah, better start with enserenading then to ease you in.
Aids 05.27.12	lost of good stuff here, some "not so obvious" picks as well. nice.
jlech 05.27.12	Awesome list! Reminds me that Deep Elm just gave away some free D/Ls
jlech 05.27.12	http://neveranythingon.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/the-is-this-thing-on-top-100-emo-songs-of-all-time-part-10-10-1/ http://www.punknews.org/article/46135
bakkermaarten007 05.27.12	Yeah, I already knew that first link. Nightstars gave it to me. I know of the second link as well, sadly....
jlech 05.27.12	So you also scour the interwebs for more emo... I'm looking for dual vox emo if you know any
bakkermaarten007 05.27.12	Not backing vocals right? I can only think of 57 for the moment.
Iamthe Nightstars 05.28.12	Great list man
joshuatree 05.28.12	amazing list, bookmarked
DurzoBlint 05.28.12	Sweet list. A few on here that need more recognition... especially 67.
EyesWideShut 05.28.12	huh.. this looks p good. props for takin the time duder.
bakkermaarten007 05.28.12	@Durzo Yes, and 31 which you rated....2,5??? =P Have you really listened to it man? I would get it if you don't like emo records but seeing as you do how on earth can you think that's average? I mean, I've heard tons of acts in the genre and after numerous listens that felt uninspired the last 6 months I discovered this and it felt like a breath of fresh air.
bakkermaarten007 05.28.12	@Eyeswideshut: thanks.
DurzoBlint 05.28.12	Didn't like the vocalist at all. I only listened to it once entirely though, then odd tracks again a few times. I can't stand the vocalist though to listen to it again. With ashen that is....
bakkermaarten007 05.28.12	Okay, too bad you rated it after only hearing it once though.
DurzoBlint 05.28.12	Well my ratings are just for personal reference really, in case I lose my music as I dont have it backed up ^_^
bakkermaarten007 05.28.12	Yeah, I saw that a moment ago. You've rated 15 records or something in the last two days lol =D
DurzoBlint 05.28.12	yeah haha listen to them once or twice, then rate ^_^ occasionally I will change them if I feel the need. Pretty much spent the last 4 days listening to new albums.. about 10 a day lol. Most stuff I actually listen to i dont even rate.
TheDjehuty 05.29.12	So glad to see Joie De Vivre and Brave Bird on this list.
minty901 05.30.12	just gotta reiterate how awesome 55 (empire! empire!) is. easily the best album i've heard of the genre. which of the ones on this list are similar? with softly-sung, in-tune vocals vocals mixed in with the more typical, raw singing/yelping.
ShitsofRain 05.30.12	--->DIAMOND DANCER IN THE LIST
ShitsofRain 05.30.12	you're awesome
minty901 05.30.12	just checked out diamond dancer. really good. although im not so much a fan of deeper singing. usually i like high, girly singing. if you like diamond dancer you should totally check out gates' new ep "you are all you have left to fear". its free on their website and has that awesome blend of post-rock/indie/emo. www.gatesnj.com i think
bakkermaarten007 05.30.12	"just gotta reiterate how awesome 55 (empire! empire!) is. easily the best album i've heard of the genre. which of the ones on this list are similar? with softly-sung, in-tune vocals vocals mixed in with the more typical, raw singing/yelping." Pretty vague description since that's a common singing style in the genre. But if you like the style of his voice, there's really nothing like it.
minty901 05.30.12	well a lot of emo music uses a lot of off-key singing and raw/screaming vocals. not a lot of what ive heard does particularly well with the softer sections like empire does.
bakkermaarten007 05.30.12	No, nothing comes up. There's probably a few bands on this list that would suit your desire, but I would have to relisten to them to notice it.
minty901 07.29.12	just came back to this list. what a fucking good list.
bakkermaarten007 07.29.12	Stop quoting yourself riff.
minty901 07.29.12	lmao
jlech 10.01.14	List is now 27 months old but I still go back to it often. Mock Orange deserves so much more play
PappyMason 10.01.14	Seeing 49 on a list is so heart-warming. Needs more love.
