Ahead of the 'I Built You a Tower' release I thought it would be fun for us to put together a Greatest Hits/Essentials list - one song per day up through release day.

Today's Top Comment makes the album. If you care to, comment your favorite lyric or why that song is meaningful to you. I know my favorites carry a lot of meaning for me - it would be cool to hear from each other on that. Of course, it could just be as simple as 'it's past time for [insert song here] to make the list' ha.

I am also open to names for this project. I will post another separate thread later for your album title ideas - maybe once we finish the first 'platter' and get a sense of what we have started.

Track List:

Side A

1. The New Year
2. Photobooth
3. Soul Meets Body
4. ?

Side B - Begins Tomorrow 5/21

I’m dying for just one more maybe, especially if it’s a song they’ve already played live. I have I Built You A Tower (a) stuck in my head. I thought we might get a single two weeks out from the album but now I’m not sure.

The band used to do some cool stuff for fans back in the day. Does anyone remember the Narrow Stairs teaser site with the scaffolding and the strips of album art leading up to release? I kinda wish there was a bit more manufactured hype put out these days. I used to check that narrow stairs site daily for updates leading up to release.

edit: Thought of a new working title

imo i’d have to say ‘title track’ from We Have The Facts but i’m curious what others think.

Ahead of the 'I Built you a Tower' release I thought it would be fun to build a DCFC Greatest Hits album. Each day we will pick one new track until we reach IBYAT's release day. Top comment makes the album.

For today, what will be the Greatest Hits Opening track?

I’m a major Death Cab fan and have been to several concerts. I live outside of Columbus and am an OSU alum, and I’m intrigued by the Ohio Stadium concert. I’m neutral about Twenty One Pilots but seeing them would be fun.

Do you think Death Cab will get a fair amount of time to perform? It’s weird to me to think of them as an “opener.” I would mostly be going to see them and experience a concert in the stadium, but I don’t know if it would be worth it for me if Death Cab didn’t get enough stage time. Obviously, no one knows for sure, but maybe you have other experiences with concerts with a bigger name special guest.

Hi everyone,

I'm a causal listener of Death Cab (HUGE fan of The Postal Service but never got super into Death Cab, mainly because I didn't know where to look)

I'm travelling all the way from Australia to Columbus for the Twenty One Pilots show, and I would love to get into Death Cab too. I was wondering what they're likely to play, and where in their discography I should start to get into them?

Thanks!

I've done some skimming of their music and i like a few quite a lot, i'm just wondering if they leaned into the loud vibe that Tiny Vessels has again! it's my favourite that i've heard for sure. thank you 😃

*October LMAO sorry* As a fan of both bands i am absolutely psyched. I love Death Cab and I actually started listening to them because they’re one of tøp’s favorite bands. And now im in love with them, I listened to the whole discography and i’m dying to see them live. I think this is absolutely monumental for both bands, as Ohio Stadium is the fifth biggest stadium in the world with a capacity of 100.000 people. Its tøp’s biggest concert to date and also death cab’s and i just wanted to see what other death cab fans think about it.
