top five band of all time for me. fuck it, top three probably. cant pick just one, here’s my list:
- the after life of the party (CUT IT LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE)
- from now on we are enemies (those chorus drums hit so hard)
- tell that mick (so fun on guitar)
- shipped gold standard (one of my favorite riffs ever)
- the take over the breaks over (see above and above)
- the patron saint of liars and fakes (WELL I STILL KNOW THE WAY TO MAKE YOUR MAKEUP RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN)
- kids aren’t alright / fourth of july (just makes me so nostalgic and reminds me of my best friends from high school)
- love from the other side (omg. when this dropped i almost fell to my knees listening on the way to class. those opening guitars hit me like a fucking WALL and while i didn’t love the rest of the album i was so hyped on new fob for the rest of that semester)
- disloyal order (BOYYYYYYCOTTTTTT LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE)
- tiffany blews (whaddup lil wayne)
- 20 dollar nose bleed (so quirky so different, fuck brendon urie but this one is so fun)
- headfirst slide (the GROOVE)
- the music or the misery (ITS TRUE ROMANCE IS DEAD, I SHOT IT IN THE CHEST AND IN THE HEADDDDDDDDDD)
- ginasfs (lovelovelovelove)
- doldrums (the whole back half of IOH is just <33333333)
- cork tree (the entire thing. i think other than dookie this was my first favorite album and i fall more in love with it every day)
im definitely missing a dozen or so but idk it’s been ~10 years and i still haven’t grown out of them, love fob so so so so much i could talk about them 5ever <3

my top albums are definitely folie a deux and infinity on high. i really love how just pure pop punk infinity is and then folie is just super experiemental. it’s a cool switch before the hiatus and it’s fun to see where you can tell they had different visions for their music.
top songs gotta be “fame < infamy” and ”i’m like a lawyer…” for infinity and “tiffany blews” and “(coffee’s for closers).”
“saturday” and “where is your boy” have special places in my heart though. and all of the hits.

fall out boy is one of those few bands that i've always been appreciative of over the years, so it's always so hard to pick a favorite.
one of the first songs i ever found on my own in 6th grade was This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race my dad pirated it to our family itunes account.
otherwise, the songs i've loved the most are all from "From Under the Cork Tree," mostly being XO, I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me, and Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows). i <3 fall out boy

loved this when it first came out. listened again and it's quite literally aged so so so finely. the 80s pop references are nuts

my biggest tip is to get thermal shirts that you can wear under everything. other than that, lets hit a thrift when we're back in town tg

skate 3 has been there for me any time i've been overwhelmed. something about hitting miracle whips at the megapark over and over just satisfies me to no end.
other than that, i've heard webfishing is awesome and super chill vibes but i havent gotten around to it yet :P
