I think Mineral were highly influential aswell. Along with Sunny Day Real Estate.

Sigh. Sit Mineral and a band like say, Aiden, side by side... And there is simply no comparison.

hmm… I’m thinking Frodus and Roadside Monument. Two bands I would consider being slightly influential, at least in my book. I don’t know if this is “emo” as Promise Ring and such, but it’s definetly the offshoot of hardcore, getting way more emotional and more experimental.

P.S. – As bad as they are now, go back and listen to “The Moon Is Down” by Further Seems Forever. That album is classic. No ifs ands or buts.

LBS - Yes it does.

SD - Thanks. You do need to get some speakers though.

CBT - I wrote the thing. Cheers abound. Wasn't everyone emo at some point?

All - Braid, Mineral, CFD, Cap'n Jazz were all on the list. I'm gonna have to mull over the Juliana Theory. They were emo, but sort of (in my mind at least) began the downfall of emo.

It’s so hard to decide what’s really emo. Every person has their own definition. That being said…howsabout Mineral? Howsabout Christie Front Drive?

The Juliana Theory. Definitely! I’ll go look at my emo mixes and figure out some more!

Oh, the memories of being “emo.” I cheered up, did you?
