Shhh....some people could see that and get offended.
I advise you to remove that last part.

Nice bands btw, I told you last time but my downstairs computer was messed up.

Mine in no order
1. Iconoclast
2. Moss Icon
3. Silver Bearings
4. Dag Nasty
5. Heroin
6. La Quiete
7. Riistetyt (probably more punk though)
8. Saetia
9. A Day In Black and White
10. Still Life

Sleepytime Trio is cool too, but I must have an even numbered list.

I can't believe I never answered this thread.

Let them get offended then, I'm not removing it because it's the truth. A large majority of the bands are pop-punk bands with screaming and I'm not using pop-punk as a derogatory term, I love lots of those type of bands e.g. Funeral For A Friend and Brand New, it's just simply a fact that they don't make emo music.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo

Those sites have the correct definitions of emo and its evolution. I suggest anyone who applies the term emo to Dashboard Confessional and the like.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything here its just a large majority of people don't seem to know what they're talking about.

/rant over.

funeral 4 a friend
my chemical romance
system of a down

but snickers he is right. and therefore let the stupid people come. we shall shoot from a distance. Shall be great fun.

Welcome somethingisrunningonempty you'll fit in nicely, that is once you realize that ATDI is merely a shadow of The Mars Volta. (IMO, of course)

Sorry about that
 

My computer messed up and I added that list twice. It was long enough once. Sorry. I just have one more thing to say right now though. Anyone who likes Nirvana is a terrible person. They obviously know very little about anything. Nirvana is possibly one of the worst bands to ever burn our ears with their filth. Those were the worst years of Dave Grohl's life I'm sure, and luckily, he is recovering nicely with the Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age. Probot was a let down though...a big one.
Lates,

That's a pretty harsh statement, doncha' think?

Mars Volta or ATDI
 

I see what you mean about Mars Volta and ATDI Satchmo. Many people would agree with you on the that one. I don't simply because I prefer the more heavy and aggresiveness of ATDI. I think he sings better in ATDI as well, thanks for the quick reply though, what do you think of the rest of my extensive list?
