Rocket, Gifts & Curses and Avondale are all probably in my top 10 of Yellowcard songs.

 

The Underdog EP deserves much better, but here we go:

Powder
Rocket
Gifts and Curses
Finish Line
In Time
Bombers
Avondale
Rough Draft

 

1) Underdog

2) Promises

3) Gifts and Curses obv

4) Firewater

5) Hey Mike

6) Three Flights Down (what a rude matchup...TFD is my favorite song of all time but bombers is one of their best)

7) When We're Old Men (such a fucking good song even tho I love avondale)

8) Rough Draft

 

Underdog

Rocket

Gifts and Curses

Firewater

Hey Mike

Three Flights Down

Avondale

Rough Draft

 

Powder
Promises (Rocket is pretty good but I still like Promises more)
Gifts And Curses (well that was an easy choice)
Firewater
Hey Mike (In Time had potential but was missing something I felt)
Bombers
When We're Old Men (Avondale was a bit cringe worthy honestly)
Rough Draft

This is my first time hearing the two EPs. Still Standing isn't great. Underdog is a bit better but definitely still enjoy everything from Ocean Avenue on more.

I remember having the words to Avondale in my AIM profile in like, 2003, and a girl that I would end up dating for 5 years instant messaged me (before we dated) asking why my profile was so negative. Good times.

@KidLightning Looks like we pretty much see eye to eye on the b-sides!

 

I don't consider the Underdog tracks to be b-sides, but you're right! And I do love "Powder", especially given the subject matter, but "Rocket" is just such a classic to me, takes me right back to the summer of '02 and singing along to that song.

I also think "Bombers" is one of their overall best songs.

 

Aw, my lonely lonely Fire Water vote

 

Rocket

Gifts and Curses

Bombers

Rough Draft

 

I still can't believe it didn't make the record...but if I remember correctly someone in the band told me they had to choose between Bombers and You and Me and One Spotlight. So it makes sense.
