I joined this forum as a massive Tegan and Sara fan, so I figured I'd fill out this form for them because I don't listen to them anymore and feel that their best years are behind them (I think that's the point of this thread, I hope it is). They might be a little new for this though, although they've been around now for 15 years...
Band Name: Tegan and Sara
Last Good Album:The Con
Best of the Later Years:
1. Emaculation
I have to start with a really early demo, one of the first songs they ever recorded, beautiful and simple. Their voices are very young here since they are only 15 but it was definitely one of my favorite finds.
2. Hello
The last demo I'm going to include, because I want to stop myself before I include them all, really heavy emotion in this song, extremely relatable for a teenager.
3. Come On
Very folky track coming from both Under Feet Like Ours and This Business of Art, although I tend to like the early Under Feet Like Ours version better.
4. My Number
I have to include a fan favorite on this, plus it's a great song and it's the first song that I think gave them some notability since it was on the Sweet November soundtrack
5. Monday Monday Monday
If It Was You is my second favorite album of theirs and this is the best track, brings a little more of a poppy element in but still keeps the folk roots.
6. Walking With A Ghost
I really didn't want to put this song, but I feel like I should since it's the first song most people used to relate to them before The Con
7. Back In Your Head
I really don't want to put this song either, but it was a single and did get pretty popular and a best of shouldn't include just my personal favorites
8. Nineteen
But I have to put this one as a personal favorite of mine, it's also an extreme fan favorite and probably Tegan's best song she ever wrote.
9. On Directing
At first I really liked Sainthood, but after a while it just didn't grow on me like I expected it to, but this song is always a standout to me, nice driving beat behind it, should have been the first single.
10. Closer
I very begrudgingly choose this one to finish the 10, because it is their biggest hit and a greatest hits album isn't complete without the bands biggest hit
In terms of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, I enjoyed them a lot when I was little, even so much to get Californication when it came out (I was admittedly too young for it) but after Californication I pretty much lost interest in them. Although I admittedly might sing along when Under The Bridge comes on just out of pure nostalgia.
