Best Death Cab for Cutie songs

In the interest of being a hipster, I decided this was necessary.

1. Marching Bands of Manhattan (Plans). I've been in love with this song since like 2006 (it came out in 2005 nbd). Its message changed over time to me but the beautiful repetition only got more intense. Words cannot express my love of it.
2. Title and Registration (Transatlanticism). I don't know when I discovered this but it was a revelation to me and again it got better with time. I don't know anything about music if you couldn't guess this already but it's like gahhhhhhhhmazing.
3. Brothers on a Hotel Bed (Plans). I just recently discovered how much I love this song. It's like one of the songs that was always playing in the background and I always found it pleasant but I never really listened to it. There's so much about growing up/old and hopes and dreams and it just applies to so many kinds of change. Love.
4. Grapevine Fires (Narrow Stairs). Ok, I was one of those people slightly disappointed in this album but not entirely imbued with hate toward it. Basically the first song I took away from it was this one, and recently the whole thing's been growing on me but this is still a standout. It's haunting and beautiful and about something that actually happened, so kind of a departure from all of the failed relationship songs.
5. I Will Follow You into the Dark (Plans). Well obviously I am in love with this song. But it's one of those loves where I'm comfortable with it and not seriously engaged by it anymore, so while it's still stellar, it doesn't affect me the same as it used to because I've loved it for so long. Whereas some of the other songs grow like crazy, this one has stayed solid for me. Maybe that's because I've become more interested in the poppy ones, like number 6!
6. No Sunlight (Narrow Stairs). I can't get enough of this song. It's super cute. Like I said I've been developing a major crush on this album.
7. The New Year (Transatlanticism). I feel the need to hear this every New Year's day. And also every time I want to just jump into an awesome song. Bladjfkangiag awesomeness.
8. Someday You Will be Loved (Plans). I have mixed feelings toward this song...both awesomeness and sadness I suppose, but anyway, I really like it and it makes me feel like Ben Gibbard's a jerk, which I don't think he really is but I like letting myself think it. At least he cares enough to sing this song?
9. The Sound of Settling (Plans). Not going to lie, numbering gets more difficult here, so I'm going to stop trying to justify how I quantify my love of the rest of these songs. But this one's a classic, and it's so lovely and carefree while about such a seemingly awful thing. Maybe I like it more than a number 9 spot, but it is one of those that's easy to pass by because it's so classic.
10. A Lack of Color (Transatlanticism). I really just love the lyrics of this song but I mean the instrumentals aren't bad either. It's grown on me.

OTHER AWESOME ONES:

• Tiny Vessels + Transatlanticism (you shouldn't listen to these apart from one another)
• What Sarah Said
• Different Names for the Same Thing
• Death of an Interior Decorator
• I Will Possess Your Heart
• Crooked Teeth
• Your New Twin Sized Bed
• I Was a Kaleidescope
• Pictures in an Exhibition
• Army Corps of Architects

In the interest of full disclosure, I believe "best" comes about in your mind as a function of both which album you listened to first and which album you listen to most (which is not independent, since it's based on your previously established "likes"). I heard Plans first so it's become my favorite for sentimental reasons and because I've heard it so many times since those sentimental times. And also this doesn't include the first two albums because I lost them when I transferred my music to my laptop, but they're a distinctly different sound and like I said my first exposure was Plans so it became my baseline of Death Cab's sound. Nbd.

So excited for Codes and Keys!
