Well that was extremely hard for me. I tried to name at least one song from every album. I didn't get to name some of my faves though (Paper Wings, Heaven Knows, Give It All, Prayer Of The Refugee, Halfway There, Swing Life Away, etc. ...) since that would have exceeded my top 20 list
I didn't include songs from the new album, since that one just came out last week and I feel it's too early too make a choice.

Wolves: 1

 

Weird. I know lots of people who prefer their older stuff. The Unraveling is great. It's raw and heavy. More Hardcore than their later releases. I'm a huge fan of Hardcore music, so maybe that's why. RA has always had roots in Hardcore Punk. RPM imo is their best though. However I Iike everything they've done so far. In fact Wolves could be their best since Sufferer.

 

The Unraveling is a great album.

 

I love Hardcore music as well but the Unraveling is uterly awful. I basically pretend it doesn't exist it's so bad.

My rankings:
-Endgame
-The Sufferer and the Witness
-Siren Song of the Counter Culture
-Appeal to Reason
-Revolutions Per Minute [All 5 are amazing albums in my opinion]
-Wolves [average, slightly better than previous effort]
-The Black Market [Average]
-The Unraveling [Please erase from human existence bad]

 

I mean old school Hardcore. Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Sick Of It All, etc. ... The band's influences really show on TU.
But still. It's all good. At least we can all agree that RA is a good band Now a RA, LP Tour would be a dream of mine

 

I mean they were supposed to tour together in 2015 before it got canceled

 

Now back on topic. I'm gonna do another one of my favourite bands: Enter Shikari

1. Mothership
2. Anything Can Happen In The Next Half Hour
3. Return To Energiser
4. Adieu
5. Johnny Sniper
6. Ok, Time For Plan B
7. Acid Nation
8. Juggernauts
9. Wall
10. Step Up
11. We Can Breathe In Space
12. Destabilise
13. Quelle Surprise
14. System/Meltdown
15. Gandhi Mate, Gandhi
16. Radiate
17. The Appeal & The Mindsweep I
18. Never Let Go Of The Microscope
19. Torn Apart
20. Redshift

Take To The Skies: 6 (It still holds a lot of sentimental value for me. I got into them in 07 when they released it. There was a lot of hype around them at that time.)
Common Dreads: 3
A Flash Flood Of Colour: 2
The Mindsweep: 3
Non Album/EP's etc. ...: 5

Coheed and Cambria

1. Dark Side of Me
2. Welcome Home
3. Key Entity Extraction V: Sentry the Defiant
4. Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute
5. You Got Spirit Kid
6. Blood Red Summer
7. No World for Tomorrow
8. Island
9. The Afterman
10. A Favor House Atlantic
11. Feathers
12. Iron Fist
13. Number City
14. Away We Go
15. Key Entity Extraction IV: Evagria the Faithful
16. The End Complete III: The End Complete
17. The Suffering
18. Here We Are Juggernaut
19. Ten Speed (of God's Blood & Burial)
20. Here to Mars


This list was extremely difficult to come up with, but I've found that Year of the Black Rainbow has always been one of the hardest for me to get into, almost as hard as The Second Stage Turbine Blade. I also feel that The Afterman (both Ascension and Descension) is peak Coheed and Cambria, with the Good Apollo series following. In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 was pretty good, and The Color Before the Sun is enjoyable, but I'd rank it above Year of the Black Rainbow in terms of quality. I really hope that with their next few albums they go back to writing songs that go along with The Amory Wars story line.

I'm listening to your playlist now, Filip. I don't know if you want me to watch the videos too or if it's ok to just listen to the music.

I'll post again with my feedback!

 

Nah, DG videos are more often than not really pointless and just provide a visual experience for the song. Lemme know what you think!

 

Good picks! Though personally I would go with less Plans and more older stuf... and definitely some Codes and Keys.
