This is the first of what I plan to be a regular occurrence here on the blog. Every now and then, I’ll post a little playlist, or “A Round of Sound” (hey, that’s the name of the blog!) as I like to call it. Sometimes it’ll have a theme, other times it’ll just be random tunes. What all the songs will have in common though is that they’re all in my music library. So without further ado:
My post about Jimmy Eat World and their amazing album Clarity got me kind of on a late 90’s into the early 2000’s emo nostalgia kick. So here’s an emo playlist for your pleasure. Note that I left A LOT off of this list (I’m trying to limit these to about 10 songs). I’ll have to do a part 2 sometime in the future. Argue all you want about whether or not these are truly “emo”, but all of these were indeed at one time or another considered emo.
