So fantastically prolific have Fall Out Boy been across their 16-year, seven-album career (with a four-year hiatus in-between – but we don’t want to dwell on that… sigh), the genre-defying Chicago quartet already have not one but two greatest hits albums. And they could so easily have twice that amount. The band – vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley – have enjoyed enormous success thanks to their signature blend of emo-tinged pop-punk, scooping plenty of awards (including five from yours truly) not to mention selling a ton of albums (some estimates are apparently around 30 million).
We don’t want to focus on all that today, though. No, for all the gargantuan hits – Centuries, Sugar, We’re Goin Down, Thnks Fr The Mmrs, Dance, Dance… we could go on – there are just as many bangers that have fallen under the radar somewhat. And that’s what we’re digging into here…
