11.02.19 | Here you go Grey, your move. Wow, that was harder than I thought... |
Minushuman24
11.02.19 | nice, but lost souls would be top 5 |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Oi,
So where is
The Prayer Position, it's probably the song that preludes to the whole Sing The Sorrow album.
And...
Where the FUCK is
A Single Second. Not only is it my favorite AFI song, but one of my fav songs of all time. "Once felt so warm, now I'm fucking freezing....."
I FEEL SO, I FEEL SO LOOOOOOOOOOOST.
Also, need Third Season, I Wanna get a Mohawk, He Who Laughs Last, and off Sing The Sorrow the secret track This Time Imperfect. "The are no flowers, no not this time. ..."
Anyways, awesome list, makes me wanna listen to AFI all night long. |
artiswar
11.02.19 | Yeahhhhh, make your list Sloth! I considered Third Season for sure, but I sort of had to cut all picks from the first 3 albums to prevent myself from going insane. Also had to cut all the b-sides, that was tough.
Leaving out Prayer Position was a huge mistake on my part though, I would probably cut Greater Than 84 for it. |
Larkinhill
11.02.19 | Man, I really need to check these guys out. Have literally only heard two songs from them. |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Working on it as we type.
I resonate with sing the sorrow and earlier releases, so might be a bit different |
artiswar
11.02.19 | I'm a diehard fanboy of this band, so I'm sure I'll (probably) love your list no matter what...
And Larkin, what 2 songs did you hear? Please tell me they weren't Miss Murder and Love Like Winter haha. |
Larkinhill
11.02.19 | Miss Murder was one of them haha (which I really liked actually!).
Don’t remember what the other track was. I heard it when it was released as a single when these guys were blowing up, probably sing the sorrow era or thereabouts. I hated the song. But I was a teenager who thought they were sissies for wearing eyeliner. I’m not as judgemental now as an adult. |
GreyShadow
11.02.19 | FUCK i love all of these, great list!!
1 was my 1 for a long long time, what a song
cool to see It Was Mine in the top 10, great choices off of the recent 2 albums too
At A Glance that high is interesting but I respect it. the bridge goes so hard |
artiswar
11.02.19 | @ Lark hahaaa, I also heard them as a teenager and had the exact same impression of them. |
GreyShadow
11.02.19 | your top 3 are definitely all top 5 STS tracks too |
artiswar
11.02.19 | What's your 1 now Grey? |
GreyShadow
11.02.19 | you'll find out soon bro ;) |
Larkinhill
11.02.19 | @art — I’ve added them to the list, but it’s an extensive list. Finishing up Mineral’s two albums, then going through discogs of Sunny Day Real Estate, Joy Division, The Cure, The Deer Hunter and Dillinger Escape Plan. Gonna fit AFI in there somewhere. |
GreyShadow
11.02.19 | I'm trying to make this list and i feel like it's just not fair to the 20 or other so 10/10 AFI tracks |
artiswar
11.02.19 | Lark, I would just start with their 3 big albums, the rest is kind of secondary.
Grey, let's do top 15, I'll edit my list cause some of my omissions are breaking my heart ='( |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Fuuuck, so many good tracks, this is going to be a top 50 the rate I'm going. |
Stormheart
11.02.19 | no malleues malificarum |
LightChaotic
11.02.19 | How about a top 40? That's where I got before each cut started to hurt. |
artiswar
11.02.19 | like I said, had to make some brutal cuts. At this point should we just rank every song they've ever made? s/ |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Ha ha, that's what I'm doing now, then will get my top tracks. |
artiswar
11.02.19 | damn, sloth is putting in the work. I just winged it from the heart in 5 minutes. At least there's going to be 3 or more AFI lists flooding the main page soon, good times! |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Any excuse to jam one of my fav bands. That i kinda broke up with in 2003. |
artiswar
11.02.19 | Sloth, you actually have me jamming Shut Your Mouth for the first time in like 3 years. I'm digging this way more than I remembered, Davey is such a beast on this. You ever jam XTRMST, the Davey/Jade side-project? |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Imagine if AFI did a whole album in the style of Death of Seasons, with heaps of electronic beats, samples and effects. I felt like that was the shape of punk to come, but no one really did it. Enter Shikari almost went there, and there are some other bands that got close but no major labels picked up on it, and produced it to the next level.
That's fucking gold untapped.
Let's start a scramz/edm band and do it all pop like, make a fortune and start a new scene. |
artiswar
11.02.19 | I think they ultimately decided that stuff didn't belong in AFI for the most part so they did Blaqk Audio. I'm actually pretty happy with where they are now, their latest EP was GREAT. |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | It sprung to my attention when it first came out, but that's before i had streaming services. I remember youtubing some tracks, but could never find the full album, so i forgot all about it. Better jump on it again. Just added it to a playlist on Spotify |
artiswar
11.02.19 | The Missing Man? Yeah, it's fucking great. |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Yeah i liked their latest EP, but didn't like like their last 3 lps that much |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | I meant xtrmst
|
artiswar
11.02.19 | I sort of have a soft spot for even their weaker albums. And yeah, XTRMST is a bit of a trip to hear Davey and Jade going so damn hard. Sick album. |
LightChaotic
11.02.19 | I've narrowed it down from 40 to 33. Progress!
|
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Half way through their discog, . Might get this done tonight |
artiswar
11.02.19 | what have I done |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | K, painting a picture for you. Worked all week, took my lady out for dinner and drinks, she went to bed, i jumped online, sore an AFI thread. Gave me reason to kick on, opened up another beer, and another. Now drinking and listening to AFI's back catalogue. Fun times |
LightChaotic
11.02.19 | Down to 27. I don't think I can possible do anything less than a top 25. |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Post 27 |
artiswar
11.02.19 | lmao gotta love when the AFI squad is on sput all at the same time, we really do nerd out. All we're missing is Feather. |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | Feather was active yesterday. He missed out.
So if anything, this has led me to bump up black sails in the sunset to a 5. After rating each song individually, it warrants a 5. Sing The Sorrow was already a 5. |
LightChaotic
11.02.19 | I did it but I'm not happy about it. The ultimate game of "kill your babies". |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | All done. Top 10 are up |
artiswar
11.02.19 | You have to do top 15 or I will look self-indulgent |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | LMAO, it was hard to cull 50 to 10 |
SlothcoreSam
11.02.19 | We have 5 the same, that's pretty good. |
nightbringer
11.02.19 | At A Glance, This Celluloid Dream, and Pink Eyes for sure. |
nightbringer
11.02.19 | Where's Anxious? |
Stormheart
11.02.19 | sage |
GreyShadow
11.02.19 | nice adds for the top 15! I'll have mine up soon |
Sinternet
11.02.19 | no god called in sick today no list [1000000] |
StonedManatee
11.03.19 | Yas |
GreyShadow
11.03.19 | if you're crying for god called in sick today you probably don't listen to much AFI past STS and that's a far bigger problem |
