Alphabet City Is Haunted
Yaaay alphabet music! My favourite bands from each letter of the alphabet in case it wasn't already explicitly obvious. |
| 1 |  | At The Drive-In
Relationship of Command
Okay wow deciding this sucked. I love At The Drive-In so I figure they should go here, but I also really really wanted to put Archives and Armchairpolitician and The Appleseed Cast. Ugh so many. Oh well, At The Drive-In love. |
| 2 |  | Brand New
The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Obvious choice I know, but there really isn't any competition. I love this album to pieces and that's all there is to it. It's wonderful. |
| 3 |  | City of Caterpillar
City of Caterpillar
C is another awesome letter. Here we have rivalry between Converge, Circle Takes the Square, Ceremony and Cursed ugh. I don't know. City of Caterpillar are what really got me into screamo though, so I feel like they deserve to be here although Converge... ughgfhgg. |
| 4 |  | Dance Gavin Dance
Happiness
Also really want to put Dangers, Defeater, The Dillinger Escape Plan and Drive Like Jehu but I guess I just have a hard-on for this band. |
| 5 |  | Elliott Smith
Either/Or
Elliott Smith on a SlightlyEpic list!?!? What is this blasphemy!?!? The man was a genius, I adore everything he ever released. |
| 6 |  | Film School
alwaysnever
This one was really difficult. I could've picked Fugazi or The Fall of Boss Koala or Fear Before (The March of Flames) or Funeral Diner but I didn't. Why? I have no idea. I guess these guys got me out of my recent screamo binge so I thank them for expanding my horizons considerably. |
| 7 |  | Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada
This wasn't really hard as such since GY!BE win by a long shot, best post-rock band ever. I did really want Gospel and GZA on this list though, since I love them both. |
| 8 |  | Hot Cross
Fair Trades And Farewells EP
Fairly easy choice, honorable mentions go to Hopesfall, His Hero Is Gone and Husker Du though. |
| 9 |  | I Hate Myself
10 Songs
Yep. I hate myself. Nothing much to say about this, awesome. |
| 10 |  | Joshua Fit For Battle
To Bring Our Own End
I don't really LOVE this album as such but I really don't have many 'J' albums at all. It was between this, Jeromes Dream, The Jonbenet and June Paik. Eh. |
| 11 |  | Kidcrash
Jokes
I love Kidcrash. I also love Kayo Dot though, among others. |
| 12 | | Love... Like Electrocution
Love... Like Electrocution
Once again I don't have that many artists starting with 'L'. I guess I do like La Quiete, La Dispute, Lady Radiator, Le Pre Ou Je Suis Mort and Loma Prieta. But this came on top, just. |
| 13 |  | Mesa Verde
The Old Road
Holy shit 'M' is disgustingly hard to choose. Ugh so many artists. I'll just. Ugh ugh. Do I choose Mesa Verde, Majority Rule, mewithoutYou, The Microphones, Million Dead, Modern Life Is War, My Bloody Valentine? I don't know :( |
| 14 |  | Nas
Illmatic
I was feeling too white so far. Illmatic is fucking awesome though. Really wanted to put Nick Drake's Pink Moon here too. |
| 15 |  | Opeth
Still Life
Lol. YEAHHHHH. Idk, I love Orchid and Oceansize too. |
| 16 |  | Pg. 99
Document # 8
PUNK ROCK SHOULD MEAN FREEDOM. Panopticon, The Pax Cecilia and Poison the Well came close here. |
| 17 |  | Rx Bandits
...And The Battle Begun
It's so upbeat and awesome I love it. Sort of want to put Rites of Spring or Raein or something here but I don't like them nearly as much as I do Rx Bandits. |
| 18 |  | Say Anything
...Is A Real Boy
This is another really hard one but I figured I'd settle on sentimental value. Ugh how did this beat out fucking Saetia, Sed Non Satiata, Shining, Slowdive, Streetlight Manifesto AND Suis La Lune!!?!? |
| 19 |  | Thrice
Vheissu
Lol sentimentality again. Still do love these guys though. Touche Amore, Transistor Transistor, Tragedy and Trespassers William were up there for 'T'. |
| 20 |  | Unwound
Leaves Turn Inside You
This was a surprisingly difficult choice. I love U nion of Uranus and Ulver too, but go figure. Unwound wins it for me. |
| 21 |  | Venetian Snares
Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett
Trippy as fuck with drums and Hungarian classical music and yeahhh. |
| 22 |  | Wu-Tang Clan
Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
WU-TANG CLAN AIN'T NOTHING TO FUCK WITH. This one was pretty hard, was considering Weekend Nachos, ...Who Calls So Loud and A Wilhelm Scream. |
| 23 |  | Yndi Halda
Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Prettyfulllll. I also love Year of No Light and Yaphet Kotto however. Just not as much as this. |
| 24 |  | Zann
Three Years in the Desert
My only 'Z' artist. |
| 25 | | 7 Angels 7 Plagues
Jhazmyne's Lullaby
Classic metalcore, was thinking about 108, 1905 and 1994! for bands that start with numbers. Pretty confusing, huh? Also, I don't know my fucking alphabet wtf is this. RGGHH. |
| 26 |  | Quicksand
Slip
Somehow I managed to miss out 'Q', derp. |
| 27 |  | Xiu Xiu
A Promise
And 'X' too. I don't know, I don't really like this all that much but it has a penis on the cover so it winnnsss. |
