2. "Sugar, We're Goin' Down," Fall Out Boy
If this song isn't one of your guilty pleasures, it's because: a) you have no sense of shame or b) you've got no love of pop. F.O.B. might be almost as much a boy band as a legitimate rock act, but their first Top 10 hit might just be the most listened-to emo track of all time. And, damn it, it's a great one. It is not, however, our number one with a bullet.

1. "The Suffering," Coheed and Cambria
Coheed and Cambria's "The Suffering" isn't just a catchy little song about lying/breaking up/getting married, it's also pretty much the embodiment of emo, from Claudio Sanchez's nervy voice to the hey-hey chorus sing-along featuring a female voice. The band fashions themselves prog-rockers, and the track is on a record called Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Vol.1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, but all the bullshit about messianic kings of other galaxies can't hid the pure emo-ness of this song, nor should they want it to.

Fall out boy...is not an emo band....and there's no reason to be shameful for listening to it...The best part though was when you pretty much said that emo kids are losers when you're probably some preppy little douche with his dick in his hand.

Dude your kinda a jerk! Just because you don't like emo music doesn't mean other people feel the same way! IT'S CALLED HAVING YOUR ON OPINION LEARN ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunny Day Real Estate, Capn Jazz, Promise Ring, Braid. This scribe has disappointed me on a Saturday night by referencing the bands that came after the aforementioned. My life contains enough confusion and sorrow without being further befuddled by musical ignorance. Accurate music history is important because, uh, oh hell whatever everybody just think what you want, I'm going to further browse the internet. All alone. With Her in the back of my mind.

Fall Out Boy is a great renowned band. You should do some research before you post stuff like that. Their a great punk rock/emo (allmusic.com and other verified sources) band and influenced so many people.

"At least everyone who matters is emo" is degrading. Stop putting up comments like you think you're doing something; you're less of a person by doing that. And anyway therer are better emo songs out there. I'm not emo; I just have variety and appreciate variety music

Well... i have a few complaints about those dumb songs you suggested. So called "emo songs"? What the hell was that! fall out boy coheed and cambria he sounds like a chick fall out boy is gay some on the get up kids? they suck. What you should be suggesting is like Slipknot and Disturbed and Escape the Fate and Bullet For My Valentine ICP this is what i listen to. and you should take serious note to it. Maybe post some. Cause' no normal "emo"? person listens to fall out boy. :v)

@Amie Not all 'emo' people are they same. Some listen to slow music, like piano. Just because you listen to it doesn't make it emo. You're probably some emo wannabe who's trying to be cool and failing at it. Go fuck yourself.

Wow. That was probably the DUMBEST commetn I have ever read. Alot of Emo people listen to them. I enjoy the part where you said, "This is what I listen to. And you should take serious note to it," after you named off bands that aren't even what is called "Emo". Not everything revolves around you honey, or your "Emo" music tastes. (:
