Just getting into emo ...
 

Hey, I'm one of those people who is just getting into emo, and I was wondering if anybody can reccommend any good emo bands besides Rites of Spring (I already listen to them) that have CDs that are easy to find. Thanks.

Most of the suggestions are great except for tekron

zeal once again posts with his head, in between his legs, sucking his own fukking cØck.

Definitly get started on Taking Back Sunday, i was hooked on them when i first heard them.

lol I wish!

dave did you read his post? how are the bands i listed not good emo?

Ask David, I'm sure he can give you an emo education. He's quite the know-it-all when it comes to bands with talent. Enlighten us with your wisdumb master.

was that sarcastic? lol

If you don't know, then I'm not going to tell you.

Simma Down. Not a flamefest. You are gonna scare the poor girl away.

why is it that the least controversial topics always seem to cause the most heated arguments? She came to this site wanting recomendations for good emo bands, and all she got were a few suggestions (all pretty good) and a few idiots arguing over their tastes in music. God, even threads about really controversial political debates didn't go down to childish namecalling like this one did. If you didn't scare the person asking the question away by now, slot of those bands are really great ones, and I for one love a lot of those listen by tekron. And for the last time, people are allowed to have different musical tastes, if you personally don't like a band it is not an indicator that the band sucks.

i believe what you need sir is another mod who has different views on music than you do. that would really make things interesting, rather than every time you see something you dont like, you lock it up or ban the person. i dont know, i just think that is very 12 year oldish. but who knows, you are probably in that age range.

David

^ people are banned because they insist on putting others down and start fights with other members with no provocation whatsoever, not because they don't have the same music taste. Actually, i'm pretty sure that he's told people on many occasions to STOP putting people down because they have different opinions, so I can't see why he would want you banned because of a difference of opinion.

Look Who's talking. You attack others with your stupid comments.
Like your opinions mean anything, they just show what a prick you are.
Don't chastise people because they have different views or tastes in music.
You must get off on pissing people off. In case you didn't know this forum talks about many types of music. If you don't like a band, you don't have to go out of your way to say negative things about that band.
There are a lot of bands that I don't like here, but I don't go on on a thread and bash that band because I don't like them. Then again, you probably don't have anything better to do with your time.

i didnt start any accusations or flaming. if people say dumb stuff to me or say anything negative against what i have to say, then ill put my part back. i dont just start flipping out on people. yea, a lot of the bands on the lists i didnt like, but i dint say anythign about them. i wasnt like WOW U CALL THAT EMO THOSE BANDS ARE ***YYY and stufff like that, i just breezed by. but im not saying i dont defend myself.

I have to agree with tekron, hes one of the few that actually recommended any songs, and he said nothing to start this problem... as for the list

Taking Back Sunday
Saves the Day
Brand New
Dashboard Confessional
The Used
The Early November
Finch
Thursday
3rd Eye Blind (not many people will agree with this though)
Silverstien
Hawthorn Heights
Sugarcult
Hot Rod Circuit
Story of the Year
Off by One
Wakefield
SR71
Thrice
Dead Poetic
LIT

Too many good bands to name :D

^ great list, Finch is hands down my favorite band, not crazy about dashboard but I've got nothing against them, and I actually like 3rd eye blind, even though it was insanely overplayed in its time I love "how's it going to be"

I used to hate dash with a passion, but i started listening to them more and more and they just started growing on me, i hate when things you hate end up being things you love... added a few more bands, figured my list was a bit skimpy

nice additions. never heard of SR71 though, what their sound like?

A lot like sugarcult's first cd, but more serious, more of a soft rock sound than emo i guess, one of their songs that got a lot of play time was 'Crash'

nice, I'll have to check them out

i dont think SR71 is emo i have their first cd, and they were on MTV a lot i'de say their more pop-punk...as well as LIT, wouldnt say 3rd Eye blind is emo either, but their style doesnt sound too far off from a lot of the emo bands listed their...its just their lyrics arent so emo.

SR71 and LIT might not be as emo as the rest, but i think that 3rd eye blind definitly is, go to the favorite lyrics thread and read the lyrics to the song jumper and tell me thats not emo, its torwards the end

Ladies and gentlemen, I would just like to say that i respect everyone's opinion, and while I myself do not like emo that much, i love the band Handheld. Ok they're not emo, they're emocore. But still, listen to them. They're fast, melodic, emotional and good. http://handheldonline.ca/

hi, my name is david and seen as this is an emo thread check out the band im in www.purevolume.com/redmethod and if thats not enough for you then visit www.redmethodnoise.com and leave your opinions there (please). we're not signed by the way but we have gigs lined up with funeral for a friend and hell is for heroes amongst others.

we apparently sound like finch and underoath but i dont think so, please prove me right!!

im not into it. there are a ton of bands that try to pull off this "emo-core" stuff and it doesnt sound good. but dont get me wrong, you guys have alot of talent and potential... you just need to aim it into a better direction.
