Welcome to another exciting episode of the Strawberry Skies Weekly Jams radio show! I had a ton of fun with my Taylor Swift and Halloween-themed episodes, so I decided to start doing them more frequently, starting this week with an episode all about Fall Out Boy.
Fall Out Boy has been one of my favorite bands since I heard "Thnks fr th Mmrs" for the first time when I was six years old. Considered one of the greatest emo bands of all time, I still listen to them nearly every day.
From the expert lyricism to the unmatched chemistry between all of the members, I truly don't think that Fall Out Boy has a bad album or even a bad song, and I probably will never stop listening to them. Tonight's show will include at least one favorite song from each of their full-length albums, including my top five favorite Fall Out Boy songs of all time.
If you're reading this between 7:00 and 8:00 PM EST on Thursday, November 10th, you can listen live right now here. If you're not reading this during that timeframe, you can listen to what I played using this week's Spotify playlist here!

Album Ranking:

5) "Take This To Your Grave"
4) "From Under The Cork Tree"
3) "Save Rock & Roll"
2) "Folie a Deux"

I debated including honorable mentions, but they would pretty much just be the rest of the "Folie a Deux" and "Infinity On High" tracklists, so do with that what you will. I wish I could've included more from each album, but this one-hour show would become a 12-hour show very quickly - maybe someday I'll make that happen.
