Here's a quote from Wikipedia you might find useful:

"Most [Sum 41] fans and critics agree that Half Hour of Power and All Killer No Filler were purely pop punk, but Does This Look Infected? started moving toward heavier styles, such as alternative rock and alternative metal,[45] with Chuck being mostly alternative metal. "

How can something be POPular if it didn't really get mainstream attention? I'm talking about Half-Hour of Power.

If you like guitars you'll love the rock stylings of Leaf Hound, read my review in my review corner and if you're piqued ask me for a PM.

Would Tool be considered Prog?

I like guitars, I'm actually really getting into a full symphony with guitars and drums, and also, rap songs being remixed with guitars and drums, like Travis Barkers remixes.

I mean, listen to how poppy this Blink 182 songs is:

Regardless of it being "poppy", it's still good, and has a LOT of meaning behind it.
