I don't know how the hell anyone can tell these crappy bands apart they all sound like 14 year olds but are actually much older than that. They are still around and are still played on rock radio and talked about as if they are legends. To me they are a terrible band who have influenced even more terrible bands.

I take offense to this, as well as the other people who insulted Blink. As an unabashed pop punk fan who's not ashamed to admit it, all those bands are great. Dookie, Enema Of The State, Smash, No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls, and The Young And The Hopeless are all pop punk classics. My top 10 pop punk albums, in no order:

Saves The Day- Through Being Cool
The Get Up Kids- Something To Write Home About
The Descendants- Milo Goes To College
Lifetime- Jersey's Best Dancers
All- Breaking Things
The Ramones- Ramones
The Only Ones- Only Ones
Green Day- Dookie, Insomniac
Blink-182- Enema Of The State

That list might change when I listen to more albums. Up next are Undertones, Fastbacks, and Buzzcocks.

I also own Clarity by Jimmy Eat World, which I intend to listen to, though what I've heard sounds quite a bit different from their pop punk stuff starting with Bleed American.

Hey The Sane Psycho, that's great that you love pop punk. I certainly don't. And it's good that you mentioned it because you brought up some more very overrated bands. The Ramones and Black Flag are two of the most overrated bands of all time. The Ramones are considered punk rock legends, their t-shirts are worn by people who aren't even punk rock fans. The band is featured in the soundtracks for both Pet Cemetery movies. Their most famous songs are the songs Blitzkreig Bop and Rock N Roll High School, songs which I don't think are anything special but think they must be very influential to be talked about as much as they are. Black Flag are considered underground punk rock legends. They are talked about allot by musicians even though they've never done one decent tune in their entire lives. Henry Rollins is not even a singer but for some reason decided to be the vocalist. Henry Rollins has gone on to be a music commentator and television personality as well as an Actor and motivational speaker. I think he's better at those things than at being a crappy singer. People talk about how good Black Flag are but can't even mention one song that's even worth listening to. They must enjoy the experience of the band rather than the actual musical compositions that the band creates which are pieces of crap. Henry Rollins makes up for his lack of musical talent by just behaving like an absolute hyperactive, antisocial nutcase and thinks that it makes him some sort of cool person.

Are you aware that there are other musicians in a band aside from the singer?

Look I like what the bands stand for on paper but that doesn't mean that they are musically good bands. Just because they're underground and anti commercial and have allot of integrity that doesn't mean they're great bands. People should just admit it and say "Well they're not great bands but I like what they stand for". Instead of saying they are great bands. And once again I'm not saying this to **** on your tastes. Black Flag or The Ramones certainly would never be on my cd player.

Don't do that Nick. Don't oversimplify and define bands by their hits on pop culture. Im not an expert on either Black Flag or The Ramones but i don't pretend i am. What i do know is i heard enough good songs from them and know enough about the history of punk to understand why they earned the status they have. This stance you took that you got it all figured out by just scratching the surface is No Bueno.

And about Henry Rollins. Henry imo is a bit of a pretentious edge lord at times and a realist at other times so i can relate to some of his opinions but he's certainly not an all knowing punk sage whose words should be revered as gospel. His music is good tho, The Henry Rollins band got some good jams and as the frontman for Black Flag he was pretty badass.

Here's a Black Flag song worth listening to:

And here's some clips of Henry Rollins making sense:

It's punk, right? It prominently features delicious pop hooks, right? Therefore, pop punk.
