#361 My Chemical Romance, 'The Black Parade' (2006)

Emo rock has been around since the ‘80s, essentially, but it hit its zenith in 2006 and this was one of the preeminent records of the genre. I clearly remember when this album was released. An ex-girlfriend introduced me to MCR’s music with the album ‘Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge,’ but this album was the one that shot them into the stratosphere, along with sales of guyliner (probably).
