Sunny Day were a Seattle band. Emo came outta D.C. as you noted. First "emo" bands came from hard core bands like Minor Threat and Bad Brains. Emo referred to the more personal, technical and tuneful of that scene.Originally Posted by Zool
Think expresive vocals over barking rants.
First emo band is generally acknowledged to be Rites of Spring and then Embrace (McKaye's band after minor threat and before Fugazi). His label, Discord fostered the scene..Dag Nasty, Nation of Ulysses, etc. Fugazi is looked at as the definitive early emo band, crossing over to the alt rock fans as well.
If you or anyone else isn't listening to Fugazi then i implore you to stop and give them a listen. One of the great bands of all time.
Sunny day definitely incorporated emo into their music..as well as Seattle grunge, straight-up prog-rock, and crooned vocals. And, for many they defined the emo sound..the sound that tons of bands like the promise ring, JTB, etc. borrowed from.
It is a pretty wide scene now....from stuff like At the drive In to Pedro the Lion.
Interesting that Wisco is well repped in the genre with The Promise Ring and Rainer Maria.
I just decided that "What's Goin On" by Marvin Gaye is the greatest album ever. Well, most beautiful.
Just think if the young urban troubadours of today idolized people like him rather than tupak and snoop dogOriginally Posted by Freak Out

Several Detroit Lions provide the backing vocals on the intro to "What's Goin' On?"Originally Posted by Harlan Huckleby
Marvin Gaye's goal was to play football for the Detroit Lions. (seriously!) He was an excellent athlete. I suspect his cocaine addiction in the 70's limited him to late afternoon basketball at the Y. Very late afternoon.Originally Posted by Iron Mike
