A Round of Sound: Emo Style

May 3, 2009

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.
