5sos song recs please? 💞

5sos song recs!!! my favourite thing to talk abt!! i'll do my best to try and give you a bit of range here, instead of just listing all their albums. i will no doubt ramble far too much so i'll put a cut in here now-

okay so i'll start off by giving you the link to my 5sos spotify playlist, which has pretty much all of their songs, in rough chronological order!! it's just super handy for listening to instead of shuffling their discovery bc they have sooo many songs, and so many double ups and extra versions of songs etc. so this playlist keeps it nice and neat and easy.

basically, i would recommend every single song on that playlist. but. that is a lot to throw at you at once, so i'll break it into the different genres and vibes of their 5 albums, and pick maybe 3-5 songs from each, so you can get a taste test from every era?? (there's so many different ways i could break this up for you but i'll do it this way. it seems simpler. also pls feel free to dm anytime if u want to talk abt music or 5sos i would actually love that sm)

( **SIDENOTE - all the links i put on each of the songs are just links to the spotify tracks/albums/eps, so i hope you use spotify ?? kjndfh sorry if u dont, u can just ignore the links then)

let's start with 5SOS5. i'm pretty sure you already know at least some of the songs (Bad Omens and Older, at least? from what i know anyway) so you've had a taste of the Amazing Vibes that this album offers!! there's a lot of different sounds packed into this long album, but i'll just throw a few songs at you, that maybe encompasses this era? hopefully ??? lets go with COMPLETE MESS, Best Friends, Red Line and Moodswings. also Emotions. and Bloodhound. (choosing only a few songs was the most painful experience of my life, i want to add so many more. i love this whole album SO MUCH. also, my personal favourite is HAZE <33. just adding that as yet another song rec here bc i literally cannot stop myself)

okay, now moving onto CALM!! this album is like, sonically a lot darker than the other albums,, i think? the vibes are very cool tho, i listen to this album so often. (im just going to assume that you have at least already heard Easier and Teeth, sorry if you haven't, but they're the great popular ones from this album <3) (i'm slowly but steadily realising as i type all this that i have no idea how many 5sos songs you actually know. yikes) OKAY SO to choose a few recs from this album, i'm gonna go with No Shame, Best Years, Lover Of Mine, Not In The Same Way, and (my personal fav!!) Kill My Time! this whole album is pretty damn awesome tho, so you really cant go wrong here.

moving on to Youngblood. i love this album so much, i listen to it literally all the fucking time bc the vibes are just so great. (Youngblood and CALM are easily in my top 5 comfort albums tbh. just some fun emma lore for you there <3.) so many songs on this album have probably the best guitar riffs ever, and the bass lines!!! ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!! so amazing !!!! im also going to assume that you've heard the song Youngblood, so excluding that masterpiece, i'll pick some other Must Listen Songs: Want You Back, Lie To Me, Talk Fast, and Ghost Of You. but bc this album is so damn amazing, im also gonna give honourable mentions to Valentine, Why Won't You Love Me, and Babylon! (there are also three target exclusive specials, which aren't on spotify, but When You Walk Away is my fav from those extra three. they are all on youtube, the other two are here and here if u want to listen <3)

now, onto Sounds Good Feels Good!! this album serves some pretty great pop punk vibes, so if that's your kind of genre then you'll totally love it! some songs recs for you: Jet Black Heart, Waste The Night, Castaway, San Francisco, and - what is arguably the best song off this album - Outer Space / Carry On! i love this album to pieces, for the lyrics and the sound of it all, it really is such a special record. i really hope you like it <3 (also quick shout out to The Space Between A Rock And A Hard Place, from the B-Sides EP. long ass title, i know, but i really love this song)

okay, time for their debut album, 5 Seconds Of Summer! i'm sure you've heard of She Looks So Perfect already, so skipping that, here's some songs for you- Never Be, Everything I Didn't Say, Long Way Home, End Up Here, and Close As Strangers. i do love so many songs from this album, (and the B-Sides EP), but tbh there are some songs that i just can't listen to. the lyrics that teenage boys write can be...interesting at best, sometimes. so anyways. those songs aren't on my playlist RIP.

now that we've been through all their studio albums, i think it's time for some other shout outs. starting from the early days and moving forward - there's their first EP that they released, Somewhere New, where you can get an earful of their strong aussie accents LOL. another shoutout goes to Disconnected, one of my all time fav 5sos songs. the biggest shoutout i have goes to the Meet You There Tour Live album, which is from their 2018 tour, and has a great mix of songs from Youngblood and earlier. (i personally love 5sos's live shows, it brings their songs to a whole other level. but it's not everyone's cup of tea so i would try out their studio albums first to get a taste for their music before diving into the live versions). my final shoutout goes to 2011, the song that they made for their 10 year anniversary! im not sure if u know it already, but it's pretty much the perfect blend of all their eras, put into one amazing song. i love it endlessly <3

anddd that just abt concludes this massive essay i wrote abt 5sos!! thank you for asking this and im so sorry it took so long to answer. i hope this unnecessarily detailed response will make up for the wait <3. have fun listening to my favourite band ever, zoya, im sure you will find some songs that you'll love!!
