[gray valve]

JUST SIT AND CRY

[old flame]

Oldies Station

[low cloud]

CLEAR ‼️‼️‼️ I LOVE CLEAR

[nimble kindle]

Chlorine, that's the song that got me back into the band

[hollow garnet]

Taco Bell Saga or Coconut Sharks In The Water

[faint wolf]

HOLDING ONTO YOU

[thin ferry]

oh hey ryley

[cedar gulch]

probably ode to sleep. sets the mood i think

[gray valve]

hai caitycat

[unique cliff]

unironically stressed out too

[uneven wave]

The correct answer

[floral snow]

Jumpsuit bc its epic

[zealous atlas]

holding on to you or chlorine

[silver crescent]

my blood😛😩

[chrome halo]

um excuse me.

[fast terrace]

Ode to sleep, because it's literally 3 songs in one and it's a perfect representation of the uniqueness of 21p

[true badge]

Based

[nimble kindle]

Real

[hoary mauve]

Holding on to you 🙏

[royal moon]

Probably "Ode To Sleep" for me. It's such a showcase of everything TOP is so amazing at, in one song!

[floral snow]

YESS

[desert fable]

Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh flight of isless birds

[noble sleet]

Jumpsuit.

It does a good job of hinting at the lore without being too much all at once while also just being a fucking banger of a song

[finite blade]

Ride

[granite shoal]

navigating

[main magnet]

Trees it’s my favorite song off Vessel and it should be shared with everyone

[cerulean raptor]

message man bc its a fan favorite and a good song

[desert fable]

Oh my god.

[hoary mauve]

IM LIDTENING TO IIFLE OF FLIGTHLEDD BIRDS RIGHT NOW

[alpine shale]

Morph, it's the most twenty one pilots sounding twenty one pilots song

[old flame]

@toxic stone of curse you see my message -.-

[inland sentinel]

Stressed Out

[urban surge]

Why no one saying Chlorine? Was how I found out about top

[toxic stone]

I did and now my heart is broken 😔

[old flame]

We only wanna show good songs like oldies station right?

[eager bone]

Stressed out is one of their "safer" tracks, fits more in line with mainstream expectations of music and for a lot of people it's a gentle lowering into the tone of their whole discography. genuinely good starter pick for a song to ease someone in

[desert fable]

It's fire guys

[old flame]

I mean....no

[vernal hill]

Semi automatic rehehhehehwhwhwhwhwhwh

[silver turtle]

Lane Boy always worked for me when i introduced the band to someone else

[lofty scroll]

I would introduce fake you out then all of vessel and explain every song

[lofty sable]

Redecorate just cause it’s my fav and if they don’t like it atleast they listened to it

[compact ravine]

@old flame i believe your answer is trees right?

[hoary mauve]

I think all of self titled would work to get someone into the band

[toxic stone]

Stop replying. I'm too busy crying now 😔😔😔

[placid zinc]

Bounce Man because it is a perfect song

[elfin gust]

Holding on to you I don't really know why I just think it represents their music well

[old flame]

I mean yes! Trees is the Song i would show new People. Trees needs some love❤️

[urban surge]

Lane boy is also generally liked

[old flame]

No you arent i would never say trees is bad

[spice notch]

Has to be chlorine imo. The outro alone makes it worth listening to for new audiences but there's something about the song just scratches that itch for me and a lot of other people too

[crisp roost]

I'd go with Ode To Sleep because it has like everyone TOP aspect. Besides, old TOP is way underappreciated

[toxic stone]

Are you gaslighting me rn?

[hearty marsh]

All of Vessel to introduce them to the style and themes of the band but once I think they're ready we go into Blurryface and I explained THE LORE

[frosty lantern]

Johnny Boy!! Absolutely love it

[old flame]

Ehmm....

[normal mortar]

stressed out, it was so popular for a reason. tried and true for getting people into the band

[deft trout]

Fall away

[mossy phoenix]

Routines In The Night the song just got that radio & tiktok hit vibe (tho i wished it was played on the radio more often)

[tidal crater]

Personally, my brother used Jumpsuit and it hooked me up instantly

[deft trout]

It’s from their first album

[toxic stone]

I'd too say Holding On To You cuz it shows so much range like rap and angelic vocals and screamo. However I have been successfully given a good impression to others with Routines In The Night and Oldies Station 🤔

[narrow rapids]

i would say overcompensate or ode to sleep because they encompass all the quirks that form the twenty one pilots' uniqueness, they're the perfect way to show in one particular song all of tøp's essence.

[dull hearth]

cause yes

[past valve]

the first tøp song I ever heard was Forest which I fell in love with instantly so probably either that or Oldies Station

[mossy phoenix]

why is james hetfield in the reactions

[stone relic]

Not today !!!!!!

[dull hearth]

also HAH 69

[frozen spruce]

fake you out, holding on to you, or next semester

[narrow rapids]

yooooo forest as a first song is wilddd, you don't see people having songs aside ride, stressed out or heathens as their first song very often, and forest if that weren't enough of a rarity

[glass igloo]

Depends on a person but probably either Car Radio (as a single song) or Jumpsuit (as an introduction to Trench)

[old flame]

Yes but no

[tidal crater]

Coconuts coconuts sharks in the water

Gonna use that one

[past valve]

yeah I have youtube recommend to thank for that

[rough epoch]

Slowtown the goat

[light swift]

tear in my heart, holding onto you, shy away livestream ver or hometown maybe

[broken viper]

AND I'LL BE HOLDING ON TO YOU

[pine quartz]

Forest imo gotta get em hooked on the oldies

[digital moss]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[potent oracle]

It depends on what their music taste is, like if they like hard rock stuff then Id say Jumpsuit but if they like more pop oriented stuff then maybe RITN or Mulberry Street

[ashen saddle]

Frfr

[digital moss]

heavy dirty soul for sure or semi automatic

[tidal crater]

Definitely

Depends a lot on the person's kind of music

[pine quartz]

Yeah

[tidal crater]

If they like some heavy bass, definitely hiddens

If they like something more light too, maybe the craving

[polar light]

Shy Away or like Oldies Station

[zenith tartan]

overcompensate worked for me so probably that lol

[narrow rapids]

the only right answer

[compact ravine]

always thought how incredible it must've been having oc as one's first exposure to top

[narrow rapids]

yoooo livestream version, i love that version is one of the greatest things I've ever heard

i also like it more than the original shy away but that's a talk for later

[jagged nebula]

ride cuz everyone likes ride (or at least they did at some point) n guns for hands. although i saw chlorine on here a lot n that’s defo a contender too

[tulip pilot]

Message man

[prime plover]

ode to sleep, but could totally depend on the person tbh

[frosty lantern]

probably their cover from uhh '' You... are taking so long... San Fransiscoooo '' definetly will make everyone a fan smh /j

[tawdry mango]

CLEAR MENTIONED

[rain stratus]

This might be basic, but 100% Overcompensate. It’s catchy and a super smooth introduction, so it would be a good start to a new listener :)

[zenith tartan]

oh it was. incredibly confused by the music video but the song was amazing. especially the drums. that beat switch is probably why i am here today.

[tawdry mango]

Migraine lowkey

[plush owl]

Formidable, Ride, or Oldies Station from the newer stuff; pretty much anything off Vessel.

[low cloud]

YES ‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[tawdry mango]

That’s my fav on RAB I think

[errant junco]

The outside because it may he'd their vibe and now they watch it on repeat

Matched*

[turbid ravine]

RAB Trees

nah jk um

that's a tough question

possibly Chlorine

[old flame]

Trees is so good

[fervent cobalt]

Shy Away

[plush owl]

Yeah, totally.

Most of Vessel and most of SAI are great intro songs imo.

[grand copper]

tear in my heart 😩😩

[kindred schooner]

Ride or overcompensate or stressed out. Gotta introduce them to the hits. But routines in the night I feel liked would make a good one

[polar sandal]

lavish

[compact ravine]

did you end up stumbling across it or was it recommended to you

[gritty jungle]

Probably Oldies Station or Jumpsuit/Levitate

[terse spade]

i usually introduce people to the popular ones first, but then the first one afterwards would probably be overcompensate

[grizzled nimbus]

the entire album trench

[granite grail]

RAB and go up the release order

[fickle root]

Depends on the genre, but I’d say jumpsuit.
Gf says the craving

[granite grail]

All the way to clancy

[quiet isle]

paladin strait, overcompensate, next semester, or navigating

[turbid ravine]

Trees is so good, RAB Trees is an abomination and should be cast into the fiery depths of Sheol

[inland comet]

Migraine

[lusty saffron]

Ode to Sleep, HDS, Jumpsuit, Choker, Overcompensate. In that specific order.

[inland comet]

Or Vignette

[dapper knoll]

levitate or maybe trees because they are just generally amazing

[fringe rock]

Probably Stressed Out if I’m trying to get them to recognize the band, but showcasing talent would be Car Radio or Holding Onto You

Something that shows their range of genre capabilities

Maybe the first 3 songs of Trench if it can be multiple

[oblique oxide]

Fall away

[deft sky]

ode to sleep

[halcyon hinge]

To show them what they’re capable of- house of gold then jumpsuit

[oak kraken]

Backslide or Nico and the Niners

[distant furnace]

probably morph

[distant furnace]

although it really comes down to the music they already listen to

[deft vine]

probably chlorine, i feel like that song is their most diverse in style and shows off some of their best themes.

[low cloud]

It's my favorite song ever !!! :D

[dusk rivet]

Ode to sleep, pretty much the tøp version of bohemian rhapsody

[distant furnace]

Which ode to sleep version you showing tho 🙏

[dusk rivet]

good question, probably vessel but depending on the type of person maybe regional

[gusty moon]

it really depends on what other music they like, I’d show them something I think they’d like

[tawdry mango]

Clear is criminally underrated

[stuck galleon]

It would depend on the person, if they like more gentle music the line, paladin Strait.. if they like more rap heavydirtysoul..

[teal lynx]

Fr

[empty hatch]

i usually show ppl holding on to you, heavydirtysoul, routines or jumpsuit

[gentle rune]

guns for hands

[obsidian thicket]

Migraine for the sole reason that it has always been my absolute favourite :D

[potent temple]

Depends on the person. If they like heavier songs, into more rock type or metal, then HeavyDirtySoul, Overcompensate or Jumpsuit.
Into more alternative music, like Paramore, then Holding On To You or Next Semester
Into pop music? Scaled and Icy, starting with Shy Away, Bounce Man, and Mulberry Street

[molten breach]

Taco Bell saga

[boreal ice]

morph was the song that got my friend into them!!

[shy kite]

I would depend it on the person, and what they like or listen too, although I did introduce one of my friends to top with kitchen sink and she was absolutely blown away

[serene otter]

depends, my list would probably be something like:

Tear in my Heart
House of Gold
Heavydirtysoul
Truce
more

Most songs from Vessel and/or Blurryface are usually best to introduce someone to the band

[pure hollow]

Navigating or Trees

[meager idol]

paladin

[acoustic sluice]

ODE TO SLEEP i do it every time and they always love it

[lavish pecan]

My blood with the mv bc it’s iconic (it’s my fav song and mv by them)

[umbral jolt]

Stressed Out

[frosty ore]

HOTY

[tender ingot]

Ideally I'd show them chlorine, routines in the night, car radio, no chances and heavydirtysoul. But irl level of concern was what initially got me back listening to tøp as I kinda avoided trench when it came out weirdly.

[ripe hinge]

Addict With A Pen

Or Car Radio

[bronze ruin]

Hds bc it suits regular pop sounds and a lot of people are interested in the regular pop songs

[dense condor]

I always use Fake you out when introducing it to ppl

[ripe hinge]

Fake you out is good

Cause it’s like upbeat

But also has the darker tones at the end

[grizzled acorn]

Either guns for hands or screen because they have some rap moments but also the softer vibes

[narrow summit]

Probably like ride BECAUSE there’s rap kind of rock pop and his rock scream
Kind of diverse to me

[candid gull]

Probably either Midwest Indigo (bc it’s the first Tøp song I listened to) or ode to sleep

[ancient berry]

Paladin Strait

[dire sequoia]

Car radio

[fresh furnace]

screen 🥹🥹 it my fav

[indigo trellis]

well not friend, please thats for sure

[tacit halo]

taco bell saga

or coconut sharks in the water

or i need something

(joking)

[indigo trellis]

navigating or ritn maybe idk actually

[lusty pike]

Probably like Chlorine or Ride (Ik this is a basic answer don't come at me)

[native magnet]

ride because its a classic

[tulip pebble]

Jumpsuit or Ride

[toxic scarab]

I recently recommended three songs from the band to some friends: one popular, one from the 2018-2021 era, and one new. These were the recommendations:

1. Ride. It's a classic
2. Mulberry Street
   3.- Overcompensate

[restive bronze]

air catcher
i need to spread air catcher propaganda

[halcyon kite]

ode to sleep music video specifically

[ionic zenith]

chlorine

cause who doesn't love Chlorine

[dense ferry]

Addict woth a pen or glowing eyes

[olive mica]

Jumpsuit

Or even car radio

[severe crag]

Heavy dirty soul, some songs from vessel, and, the classic, stressed out.

[ripe hinge]

I change my answer to Slowtown

[tulip pebble]

Oh yes that's actually a better answer

[short sable]

Depends on the music taste of the person I’m trying to introduce them to! I try to show them a song that fits the vibes they like best first, then show them other songs

[scenic sand]

Next Semester or Fairly Local depending on the person hehe

[tulip pilot]

Depends on the person I'm talking to. I introduced it to my mom with Legend, because it's more chill and I knew it would make a good first impression for her. So I guess I would select the song based off the person's taste

[errant flame]

It depends on the vibes of the person. More than likely Taco Bell Saga, maybe Drown, possibly trapdoor, and vignette

I showed my dad TBS and he banned me from aux so-

[cosmic rock]

The Judge

[zealous warren]

The Judge

[tulip pilot]

Overcompensate Jumpsuit and Holding On to You like is it even a choice

[paper elbow]

IOFB for sure (Isle of flightless birds)

[tulip pilot]

oooh probably the one song everyone and their dog has heard stressed out then i'd branch out into the rest of blurryface then trench and so on and so fourth until we finnish clancy then i'd move to self titled and vessel

[orchid spire]

depends what their usual music taste is. pop fans I'll show Routines in the night or similar, indie Chlorine, rock Vignette

[high mica]

i would probably show them maybe Jumpsuit, or Lovely, or taxi cab

[tulip pilot]

@crisp salmon TOTAL DRAMA IS READY

[crisp salmon]

OMG

[tulip pilot]

RIGHT

I meed some more people

[crisp salmon]

you don't have enough??

[tulip pilot]

Im filling in lore charaexters

[crisp salmon]

Wait why is this happening in here

[tulip pilot]

Not sure how many ill have lefr

[tulip pilot]

Okay i need 6 more

[crisp salmon]

Like names?

[tulip pilot]

OH WAIR I RHOIGJT THIS WAS FUCKING GENERAL

[tepid jewel]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 26!

[tulip pilot]

[crisp salmon]

YEAH

[tulip pilot]

MY BAD GANG

WASNT ME

[livid forum]

ROUTINE IN THE NIGHT

Or addict with a pen

[vestal furnace]

HOTY

[tulip pilot]

Without a doubt Jumpsuit or Morph

[crisp salmon]

It'd probably be HOTY or Jumpsuit but depends upon the mysic they're into

Like for pop i'd slow them level of concern or routines

And maybe for indie or alternative I'd show them my blood

[fossil scroll]

Pet cheetah

[rapid cedar]

Honestly chlorine, but like I'd prolly forcefeed them Slowtown whether they'd like it or not.

[hardy mango]

Uhhh probsbly Ride

[coarse flower]

I feel like My Blood or Morph

[onyx quarry]

My Blood or Midwest Indigo

[coarse tendon]

taco bell saga

[tulip pilot]

HeavyDirtySoul tbh

[indigo plover]

really anything from clancy and scaled and icy :))

[sullen vault]

i'm gonna sit you down and make you listen to their entire discography, then do a power point presentation and explain the entire lore to you in full detail from start to finish...

and you're going to listen to all of it because i'm gonna test you on the lore afterwards to make sure that you were paying attention to me

[west ridge]

I think it’s best to use the songs that sound the most fundamentally “Twenty one Pilots”. Which in my opinion would be Heathens, Morph, and maybe holding onto you, and overcompensate. But idk if that’s really accurate. This way they get a feel for what the rest of their discography sounds like (for the most part at least)

No RaB or no Phun intended because it’s not on any major streaming services, and who wants to be introduced to a band with a song you can’t even listen to without finding a fan made lyric video or something?

[sinful crown]

i used morph when i introduced them to the band

[lilac field]

Depends on the person cuz if they are chill type then I'd probably say cut my lip or mulberry street. If they're metallic type is say HDS or yk what i mean

[patent valley]

NUMBER 169??? gotta say Lavish for this (i’m a menace but idk i normally don’t. maybe friend please coz i’m evil and maybeeee vignette?)

[shy valve]

taco bell saga, duh

[naive perch]

probably At The Risk of Feeling Dumb

[tidal wharf]

ima say screen or heathens/trees-livestream version

[glass igloo]

You would either make this person a clikkie for the rest of their life or turn them into the biggest tøp hater of all time

[tulip pilot]

Oh damn maybe I should do this instead

[exotic dirge]

Jumpsuit makes a lot of sense to me

[rare void]

holding on to you

[chrome temple]

Acatad, if they don't like it, they're not my friend anymore

[iron jacinth]

It depends on what genre of music they prefer in all honesty

[patent valley]

Wait Legend maybe

[night wolf]

Holding On To You

Or Guns For Hands

[wooden ridge]

I think morph ngl

or holding onto you

[nocturne robin]

I would probably start w one of the more well known ones and then go straight into Heavydirtysoul, Ode to Sleep, Jumpsuit, and then Kitchen Sink to explain the different sides of TØP and how they can really do any genre

[primal kestrel]

I'd sit them down and start at vessels and make them listen to the entire thing

[royal quail]

My brain says navigating or lavish because… duh… bops. My HEART says Oldies Station 🫶🫶🫶

[royal sentinel]

Realistically Stressed Out or Ride

[hearty vale]

Tbh to introduce someone prolly smth like overcompensate or car radio but to prove someone does know them heathens, ride or stressed out

[strange kite]

slowtown. the perfect mix of catchy and introspective lyrics

[tiny tangle]

Fake you out

[humble obsidian]

really depends on the person but probably lavish since it worked on one of my friends already >:)

[craggy moat]

successfully got one of my friends into them after having ned’s cozy fireplace on, they asked about it so I showed them the chlorine mv

have also used ode to sleep before because it’s like a tøp sampler

[rough stump]

I’ve introduced one of my friends to tøp with the song Migraine
but in general, I might use the song Holding On To You or Bandito

[icy wren]

ode to sleep: it incapsulates the band’s sound and vibes the most out of any song due to its contrasting verses and choruses.

[gusty kraken]

My Blood is the only correct answer here

[burnt frost]

That's tough, because the discography is so vast in genre and scope... I'd probably have to say Guns for Hands, it's pretty much the best description of their style, usually happy sounding music with down to earth and thought provoking lyrics

[echo mural]

oldies station

[fringe mauve]

Stressed out, chlorine, or legend

[dense crane]

Probably ATROFD & Stressed Out

[tulip pilot]

Awesome picks

[vale phoenix]

Toco bell saga d:<

[steady swallow]

Either Ride or Stressed Out because they’ve become their more mainstream popular songs.

[silver quartz]

Absolutely love to introduce ppl to Ode to sleep and Holding on to you and Chlorine cuz it sparks curiosity

[winged scaffold]

Jumpsuit, Migraine or Next Semester

[elder trench]

Car radio

[severe cobalt]

Tb saga ofc

[arctic fog]

I put a lot of thought into this I think Implicit Demand For Proof because it's the first song released

[old flame]

Wasnt it Air Catcher?

[arctic fog]

Probably but Demand For Proof is the first song on Self Titled

[serene echo]

Jumpsuit

[oblique ridge]

high hopes

[hard onyx]

stressed out obviously, or vignette or chlorine

[keen pivot]

I’ve used next semester/backslide/vignette and it always goes really well

[frank yarrow]

Stressed out. Mostly bcs my mom is in love with that song

[toxic gorge]

Prolly the Clancy album and if they like more to look up rab and Taco Bell saga
Than start from self titled and go up from there

Heheheheheh

[tulip pilot]

Hearing all these answers is making me regret that I got into TOP through Blurryface of all albums

[flint nova]

prolly something off rab so they think its shit and never even try to listen to any of this shit band again

[flint nova]

why its such a great album

[tulip pilot]

Not nearly as great as stuff like trench vessel and Clancy

I think

And also SAI and self titled

[solemn lava]

Some I&C song idk

[craggy moat]

I got into them through blurryface as well

I was so happy to realize there was more great music to catch up on

[glass igloo]

Blurryface was the most popular one, for me it was the first album I heard too. But hey it's not a bad thing, BF is great as an introduction to what they did on Trench and definitely is like a starting point for a new fan

[terse dune]

Maybe Stressed Out. Basic stuff i know

[soft berry]

TB Saga for sure

[compact wadi]

i’d give them lavash

[latent cargo]

quevedo quedate bizarrap sesion

or

nothing

[next minnow]

Probably Tear in my heart, cause it was also the first song I listened to by them

[wispy hare]

routines always

[opaque ore]

Shy away cs it’s my favorite idk

[fluid lintel]

'redecorate'. it's my favorite song, and i think its message is incredibly important

[elder sand]

Shy away

[noble kelp]

Routines in the night

[vague spade]

@true badge I agree, what an amazing song

[arctic crypt]

Damn, this is a hard one if I want to know if they’ve ever heard twenty one pilots and they say they haven’t ride or stressed out or heathens would be what I would have them play if I wanted to introduce them myself probably blurry face, trees, overcompensate, back slide, next semester,

If I’m wanting them to hear more about the “message” redecorate, guns for hands, or back slide would probably be the one I would go to

[wooden atlas]

Jumpsuit

[fringe tide]

Snap back
