    Diary & How It Feels To Be... are all i've got but i like those. Of course Diary in particular. Actually I have the pink too but haven't gotten into it.

    Fire Theft cd had some good stuff too.

    Possibly the ONLY good thing to come out of the "emo" "movement".

    I had some "hipster" friends back in the late 90's who were big on Sunny Day.

    It was never my thing, but of all the neu-shit that was coming out, this was far and away the best of the bunch.

    Since the mid 2000's other good "indie" sounds have come out that have nothing to do with emo, thank god ... but if we're looking to the genre specificaly, Sunny Day at least has merit and some listenability.

    if you ask a guy obsessed with pop, and good hard rock.

    :D

    I had Diary in the Car all week. I just missed Jeremy Enigk a few weeks ago as well. He's really good as a solo artist as well.

    Personally, I never thought emo was a good description of Sunny Day beacause they actually rock. I know they were one of the bands the term was coined around, but their sound is much more diverse and features a higher level of musicianship than what I normally associate with "emo."

    Maybe I just don't know the connection, but what does that have to do with SDRE?

    Embrace were part of the first wave of "emo" when it still had some connection to hardcore punk. people say SDRE were the first emo band. Embrace and Rites of Spring were doing similar (but less poppy) stuff in 1985/86

    If anyone hasn't heard Rising Tide (their last album together), check it out. It's probably their most rocking album. But all of their records are amazing. Also an unbelievable live act, i probably saw them 12-15 times between 94-00! Dave Grohl hand picked Nate and William for the original Foo lineup. He said they were the best rythem section he had ever heard.

    Rising Tide has my favorite SDRE song: Faces In Disguise. It's like a legitimate emo (not this new emo crap) version of Given To Fly. It's just got this great vibe and flow throughout the entire song. It should have been on the Garden State soundtrack.
