    Brand New:
    1. Jude Law and the Semester Abroad
    2. Sic Gloria Transit….Glory Fades
    3. You Won’t Know
    4. Jesus Christ
    5. Last Chance to Lose Your Keys
    6. Seventy Times 7
    7. Secondary
    8. The Quite Things No One Ever Knows
    9. Failure By Design
    10. Sudden Death In Carolina
    11. Could Never Be Heaven
    12. Desert
    13. Degausser
    14. Guernica
    15. The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot
    16. Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis
    17. 451
    18. Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don’t
    19. Mix Tape
    20. Batter Up

    EDIT: Decided to up this to 25 songs for a playlist I'm making so I thought I might as well add the other five here. I post in parentheses what the album numbers would be without them.

    21. Out of Mana
    22. Millstone
    23. The Archers Bows Have Broken
    24. Luca
    25. 137

    Album Distributions:
    Your Favorite Weapon- 7
    Deja Entendu- 6
    The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me- 6 (3)
    Daisy- 0
    Science Fiction- 6 (4)

    Holy crap that was the hardest list I ever had to do. I left off so many good, deserving songs. Doesn't help that they now have 3 of my favorite albums of all time, two of which are in my top 15. So many good songs. Anyone who has never heard this band needs to check them out ASAP! I suggest Deja Entendu for getting into the band.

    Another one of my favourite bands! I should do a TGA-list myself if I find the time :)
    Great list though I really like Sink or Swim! We Came To Dance is a fantastic song.

    Because music taste shifts, so does ranking of songs. My blink list has shifted considerably from my first one, especially with the inclusion of a Dude Ranch song finally lol.

    blink-182:
    1. Stockholm Syndrome
    2. Natives
    3. Online Songs
    4. Obvious
    5. Feeling This
    6. After Midnight
    7. MH 4.18.2011
    8. Heart’s All Gone
    9. Always
    10. Man Overboard
    11. Wendy Clear
    12. San Diego
    13. Easy Target
    14. Boxing Day
    15. Anthem Part Two
    16. Story of a Lonely Guy
    17. Cynical
    18. All of This
    19. Anthem
    20. Pathetic
    Chesire Cat: 0
    Dude Ranch: 1
    Enema of the State: 2
    The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show: 1
    Take Off Your Pants and Jacket: 3
    Untitled: 6
    Neighborhoods: 4
    California: 2
    Dogs Eating Dogs: 1

    Pierce the Veil
    1. Kissing In Cars
    2. Stay Away From My Friends
    3. Hold On Til May Ft. Lindsey Stamey
    4. Floral and Fading
    5. Bulletproof Love
    6. King For a Day Ft. Kellin Quinn
    7. Hell Above
    8. Bulls in the Bronx
    9. Circles
    10. I'd Rather Die Than Be Famous
    11. Carphenelia Ft. Jeremy McKinnon
    12. A Match Into Water
    13. Yeah Boy and Dollface
    14. The First Punch
    15. Stained Glass Eyes and Colorful Tears
    16. One Hundred Sleepless Nights
    17. The Boy Who Could Fly
    18. Currents Convulsive
    19. I'm Low On Gas and You Need a Jacket
    20. The Sky Under the Sea


    Album Distribution:
    A Flair for the Dramatic- 3
    Selfish Machines- 6
    Collide With the Sky- 9
    Missadventures-2

    This makes it seem that Missadventures is close in quality to A Flair for the Dramatic but it's not even close. A Flair for the Dramatic is a post-hardcore masterpiece and Missadventures is a generic rock album. They released their best album and made us wait 4 years for the next album. It's not a bad album but it's way weaker than anything they put out prior and the issue more so was waiting 4 years for it and getting their worst album out of it. Some bands definitely do better "rushing" out albums. Missadventures happens to have 2 Pierce the Veil songs in my top 10 but the overall quality is way weaker than A Flair for the Dramatic.

    But in terms of their first albums, the amount of songs definitely resembles the quality of one album to the next.

    I just started listening to this band!! Science Fiction is fucking sick, I need to check out their other stuff

    Starset is so good, hard to rank their songs though (there’s so few!)

    I know this was from a few months ago, but if you still haven’t listened to self-titled, you need to change that. it’s fantastic

    I LOVE Mutemath! Might have to post my top 20 sometime. In the meantime.....

    Enter Shikari: (Top 25, no order)
    • The Sights
    • Live Outside
    • Undercover Angents
    • The Apeal and the Mindsweep I
    • The One True Colour
    • Anaesthetist
    • Myopia
    • Torn Apart
    • Dear Future Historians
    • The Apeal and the Mindsweep II
    • Stalemate
    • Warm Smiles Do Not Make You Welcome Here
    • Pack of Thieves
    • Constellations
    • Quelle Surprise
    • No Sleep Tonight
    • Gap In the Fence
    • Stand Your Ground;
    • Mothership
    • Anything Can Happen In the Next Half Hour/Interlude One
    • Labyrinth
    • Today Won't Go Down in History
    • Sorry You're Not a Winner/Remix
    • Johnny Sniper/Intro
    • Adieu

    Album Distribution:
    Take To The Skies- 8
    Common Dreads- 2
    A Flash Flood of Colour- 5
    The Mindsweep- 7
    The Spark- 3

    Again the amount of songs does not tell the story between The Spark and Common Dreads as The Park is a million times better than Common Dreads. I also think The Mindsweep is overall their best album even it had one less than Take To the Skies :)
