Scott: I can still remember the first time I heard every one of the Get Up Kids' albums. From the first mixtape I ever heard them on to my worn copy of Guilt Show, everything the band's ever done can be aligned with a certain time in my life. Not only that, but this was the last band out of the "big three" (the other two being the Promise Ring and Braid) to throw in the towel; it's truly the end of an era. Here's a brief look back at their catalog, which totals more than 75 recorded songs. All MP3s provided by Vagrant Records, unless otherwise noted.

While there are some definite gems posted here (make sure you download "I'm A Loner, Dottie… A Rebel" if nothing else), so many of the Get Up Kids' best songs aren't listed here. My advice to you is, take all those Free iTunes pop caps you've been saving and-- eh, instead of taking my recommendations, how about those of you who are fans post your favorite songs below so newcomers can get some idea as to what to get.

Finally, to the Get Up Kids: It was a good run, guys. You'll be missed.
