Essential Songs For Existence 11: Misery Business

Released from their second album Riot!, Paramore's Misery Business was certainly a favourite among my friends when we all raved about this band. I don't really rate their latest album - the self-titled fourth - and I know my friends agree with me, but that doesn't mean we can't reminisce about Paramore's golden age.

The third album Brand New Eyes was always the favourite for me, stand-out tracks being Careful, Brick By Boring Brick, and Ignorance. Second favourite was the previously mentioned second album Riot!, of which I very much liked Born For This, Let The Flames Begin and When It Rains. I don't recall having any particular favourites from the first album All We Know Is Falling, but I know that it was the favourite of some of my friends. There were also a couple of songs which weren't on any of these albums; the single Monster being one that I was especially fond of, and Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody) which I believe was technically unreleased, but it somehow ended up on the Internet anyway.

So, in conclusion: this is a pretty cool song, good for a sing-along, and if you don't know who Paramore are, then now you do, which is a good thing if we're going by the first three albums.
