Best Emo Albums

Emo is a genre of music that is based around emotion AND IS NOT JUST HOW THE BAND LOOKS! The albums are ranked in their individual quality and not their overall influence on the genre.
The Top Ten
1 The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance

The Black Parade is my favorite album of all time.

2 Diary - Sunny Day Real Estate

I really love My Chemical Romance and such, but they're not actually emo. SDRE on the other hand has kind of started emo and the album on itself was absolutely great and revolutionary

A shirt lived band yet a huge impact in the emo community!

I agree 100%
I loved seven! Trust me this album is emo

3 The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me - Brand New
4 American Football - American Football

This is probably tied with Sunny Day Real Estate’s Diary for me. I think the guitar work on this album is very beautiful and dynamic, and that, combined with the very soft vocals, makes for a very singular, and great, emo experience.

5 Pinkerton - Weezer

I have never thought that Weezer were any where near Emo.

6 Deja Entendu - Brand New
7 Vessel - Twenty-One Pilots

I wouldn't consider TOP an "emo band", but out of their 2 studio albums I think this one nudges out Blurryface

8 Weezer - Weezer

I see why Pinkerton could be considered as emo, but not Blue lol

This album is incredibly influential to the emo genre, but it's hard to really call this emo

9 How It Feels to Be Something On - Sunny Day Real Estate
10 Clarity - Jimmy Eat World

The Newcomers

? Handshakes, Hello and Goodbye - The Prisoner's Dilemma
? The End of Me - The Prisoner's Dilemma
The Contenders
11 Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge - My Chemical Romance

Though I'm in the minority, I think this album is better than the black parade. Before you disagree, listen to Thank You For The Venom, it's a straight bop.

Better than The black parade, listen to thank you for the venom if you don't agree. Underrated!

This is my 2nd favorite MCR album after The Black Parade. It's also the album with the song "I'm Not Okay".

12 Analphabetapolothology - Cap'n Jazz
13 Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World
14 Everything in Transit - Jack's Mannequin
15 Just Got Back from the Discomfort-We're Alright - Brave Little Abacus
16 Blurryface - Twenty One Pilots
17 Rites of Spring - Rites of Spring
18 A Fever You Can't Sweat Out - Panic! at the Disco

Remember when Panic! At The Disco was a band and not just Brendon?

22 From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy
