Alkaline Trio Band • Page 7

Hmm. I really like the version of American Scream on there. Yeah I'll go with that. That's a hard one to pick a fave though.

 

I've been spinning the version of I Held Her In My Arms on it heavily this weekend.

 

A very hard list to make because most of their albums have 8 or more incredible songs. But here's my favorite song from each album/EP/comp (subject to what's going on in my life/my mood):

For Your Lungs Only EP- Southern Rock
Goddamnit- San Francisco
I Lied My Face Off EP- Goodbye Forever
Maybe I'll Catch Fire- Fuck You Aurora
The Alkaline Trio Comp- My Friend Peter
From Here to Infirmary- Trucks and Trains
Hot Water Music Split- Queen of Pain
Good Mourning- Blue Carolina
Crimson- Sadie
Remains Comp- My Standard Break From Life
Agony & Irony- Do You Wanna Know?
This Addiction- Dorothy
Damnesia- I Remember a Rooftop
My Shame Is True- I'm Only Here to Disappoint

Also, anyone else heard Hot Water Music's cover of Radio? Been listening to it a lot lately.

 

For Your Lungs Only EP- Cooking Wine
Goddamnit- Cop
I Lied My Face Off EP- I Lied My Face Off
Maybe I'll Catch Fire- Radio
The Alkaline Trio Comp- My Friend Peter
From Here to Infirmary- Private Eye
Hot Water Music Split- Rooftops
Good Mourning- Fatally Yours
Crimson- Dethbed
Remains-Warbrain
Agony & Irony- Do You Wanna Know
This Addiction- Lead Poisoning
Damnesia- Olde English 800
My Shame Is True- Kiss You To Death

That was more difficult than I thought it would be.

 

Ooh I want to get into this Trio album ranking....

California (I kid, I kid)

I feel like every time I open this thread, it's album rankings haha

Or maybe that was the old AP one? Either way, who am I to complain - it's a tradition unlike any other!

 

TBF, the guy that started it was trying to do "favorite song on each record" I think, but people turned it into album rankings haha

 

It's all good, I had to give you all a little shit. But it's fine b/c Trio is the greatest.

 

Dan in the ER going on a string of shows this summer/fall, with Derek in tow as the drummer

 

Nice! No dates near me, unfortunately. I was fortunate enough to see Dan on the Revival Tour in 2012 though, and it was a fantastic show.

 

Not sure if this was posted already, but it was a revelation to me that this existed.

 

My top 10:

Warbrain
Continental
Take Lots with Alcohol
Hell Yes
All On Black
Burned is the House
Time to Waste
Fine
Jake on Green Beers
Trucks and Trains

 

Never tried to rank my top Trio songs. Sounds impossible but right off the top of my head:

Continental
Fuck You Aurora
Crawl
I Lied My Face Off
Goodbye Forever
Radio
Nose Over Tail
Armageddon
Tuck Me In
Sadie

 

I miss Alkaline Trio being active. But I am really glad they did the Past Live shows before blink became the priority.

 

Dan staying active keeps me completely sane. Thank god he tours a lot.

 

Lots of classics on there. It's so hard to pick ten tracks. Picking ten from each vocalist would be a little easier, I think.

 

Trucks and Trains
Burned is the House
Continental

That's my top three. I'm not sure I could make a top 10 w/o spending hours on it b/c I'm too wishy-washy.

 

"Warbrain" is still my #1. Has been for years.

 

Glad Continental's getting a lot of love. Always been one of my favorite Trio songs.

My Top 10 changes all the time but right now it's something like this.

Mr. Chainsaw
Continental
Jaked On Green Beers
If We Never Go Inside
All On Black
Take Lots With Alcohol
In Vein
Warbrain
Trouble Breathing
Keep 'Em Coming

 

I really like how these lists span most of the band's career. They are very consistent.

 

That's a damn strong list. Could easily be my alternate.
