Ha, um, awkward.

 

That's so weird to me, YAMS is an album for the dead of winter imo

 

I mean, at least you cut it. Props for that.

 

YAMS feels sunnier to me. Might be because that's when I discovered it

 

heh, that explains my winter thing

 

That album screams sun to me. Honestly one of the few albums I associate with the weather, ha. I associate most of that bands stuff with seasons and weather and stuff honestly and I rarely do that.

 

In Motion is their only sunny album to me

 

Beneath Medicine Tree is super sunny to me.

 

I feel more sunshine in YAMS and BMT than IM. ESR is cold/night and Ixora is like rain.

 

YAMS and Ixora are both really snowy winter, In Motion is spring/summer, BMT is fall when it's getting colder. ESR is not an album I listen to

 

log off

 

Still logged on!!

 

You guys post too fast! My 2000s list is forthcoming.

 

This one is probably even easier to guess!

 

1. Butch Walker - Letters
2. Jimmy Eat World - Futures
3. Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit
4. The Dangerous Summer - Reach for the Sun
5. Green Day - American Idiot
6. Butch Walker - Sycamore Meadows
7. The Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound
8. Will Hoge - The Wreckage
9. Cary Brothers - Who You Are
10. John Mayer - Continuum
11. Dashboard Confessional - Dusk and Summer
12. Matt Nathanson - Some Mad Hope
13. Mat Kearney - Nothing Left to Lose
14. Safetysuit - Life Left to Go
15. Butch Walker - The Rise and Fall...
16. Counting Crows - Hard Candy
17. Jimmy Eat World - Chase This Light
18. The Killers - Sam's Town
19. City and Colour - Sometimes
20. Chad Perrone - Wake

Probably. This was extremely difficult. There were like 10 impossible cuts. But I couldn't do one per artist, just because those three Butch Walker records pretty much defined the decade for me.

 

top 4 accurately predicted, haha. I'm very glad Chad made it on the end, haha. I'm almost at the point of agreeing with you about Release being better though now. It's close.

 

I think they're pretty even, but I'd give the edge to RFTS if only because I don't really care for "Parachute." A lot of people love that one, but it's always been the clear weak point to me.

BLG is very strange to me, because I saw them open for Butch Walker at my first-ever concert ahead of that release. CTL is weird too, though, because it's an album I associated very strongly with my junior year of high school, and it doesn't seem like that should have been 10 years ago already.

It gets tripped up by a few super juvenile songs for me. Like "Learning to Fall." Just can't listen to that one anymore. Love Drunk feels less...awkwardly adolescent to me.

You got so close! I'm glad that pretty much anyone on this website could list my all-time top five.

YAMS is a perfect fall record for me.

 

I don't have quite the same emotional connection to Wake, and it's almost weird to include it on a 2000s list because I got to it later. I don't associate it with those years like everything else on this list. BUT, still had to include it.

 

I had no idea American Idiot was that high for you

 

I love that song! haha. I like that one more than almost any song on Love Drunk actually. I don't think it's any more juvenile than something like "Love Drunk" or "The First One" and I think it's way better written. I'm not a huge fan of Love Drunk though honestly, my least favourite on the first album is probably "Broken Man" and I still like it more than a lot of "Love Drunk". I'm not a big Bon Jovi fan, ha.

 

I guess I need to listen to American Idiot at some point.

 

I feel like Craig did a 10 year review and gave it like a 10 am I right?

 

Yep he did. It's very of its time. It came out at the height of the Bush Administrations ridiculousness. Idk if it'll hit you like it has us Americans, but if my understanding of UK politics is right then you've had a couple guys that could fit that bill. Plus it's got a great sense of anarchy which I really like

 

I think part of my problem with Green Day is his voice just doesn't do much for me, especially when they try and do more ambitious stuff. I love "Basket Case" but I've never really got much further than that with the band. I mostly just like that song and a few other singles.

 

I feel the same way about his voice that Craig feels about Dan from The Wonder Years. Billies voice is just exhausting
