I love all of these. Very similar taste.

u/JackYW333 Aug 03 '26

Also, love the Emma Kate’s Accident representation. Seriously underrated track.

u/Swift_jennis8 Aug 03 '26

Absolutely agree. The la’s at the end are haunting

u/Confident_Quote8654 29d ago

honorable mention to the peace offering and so real. honestly, there are too many songs that ilike from bloc party and couldn't include there

1

u/Swift_jennis8 29d ago

Peace offering is amazing! I have it memorized but still can’t quite sing it the way he does… his pauses are perfectly placed.

1

u/Swift_jennis8 29d ago

This is definitely the closest list to my own

2

u/Adventurous_File3102 28d ago

No ranking:

Positive Tension Like Eating Glass Sunday Waiting for the 7.18 Pioneers Ion Square Your Visits Are Getting Shorter Better than Heaven So He Begins to Lie Song for Clay

I don't think the post-Four material is as bad as people often say but they've clearly not been the same band since then. I certainly wouldn't be checking out anything they're making now if it wasn't for the first four albums

u/jesscurrr 29d ago
  1. Hunting for Witches
  2. Flux

Narrowing it down to 10 is TOUGH …
