12. Fall Out Boy, From Under The Cork Tree and Excessively Long Song Titles That Don't Seem To End No Matter How Much You Want Them To (Summer Song)
Manage episode 443268501 series 3605140
Fall Out Boy’s 2005 major label debut, From Under The Cork Tree layers tales of depression and anxiety atop catchy pop-punk and pop-rock melodies, and soaring vocal harmonies from singer Patrick Stump with bassist Pete Wentz’s introspective lyrics scattering literary and pop culture references, and many quotable lines throughout. The band is completed by Joe Trohman on lead guitar and Andy Hurley on drums.
Fall Out Boy’s major label signing was both a blessing and a curse for the band, offering exposure many bands could only dream of, but also creating a profound amount of pressure for the members of the band. From Under The Cork Tree remains the band's best selling album with over 3 million units sold worldwide.
