blink 182
MxPx
Sum 41
Greenday
New found glory

I actually do really love MxPx.

MxPx are definitely a long time favourite of mine.
All of the bands Chaos94 listed are awesome in fact.

Some great underground pop punk is still kicking around myspace, found hxxp://myspace.com/syracusememusic the other day, worth checking out if you have a second.

Audio Karate was a good band. Their album Space Camp is a good listen.

Tragic that Saves the Day hasn't been mentioned! Through Being Cool is the perfect pop-punk/emo album. Apparently it was a big influence on the genre.



Also, whoever mentioned The Ergs <3

yeah i have to admit i love that album....never really got into anything else that saves The Day did....but 'Through Being Cool' is just sooooo corny its absolute genius

^this is the most perfect "you big meanie you broke my heart song"/whiny hurt boy song...i mean "heart is on the floor/why don't you step on it?"...explains it all

Love Sum 41 and New Found Glory. Whenever I listen to them it reminds me of my childhood.

Anyone here listen to Shook Ones? I've loved that band for a while, they're pretty fun.

for the longest time Sum 41 was my favorite band, I own all their albums including half hour.. but their last album didn't really do it for me, I'll give their next one a change but I'm not a huge fan anymore.

I also used to like blink but i'm kind of out of my pop punk days..

Lady Melody is one of the best pop punk albums ever made.

D4
 

Does anyone have links to some Dillinger Four stuff? They sound really good from what I've heard so far.

Americaspremierfaithbasedinitiative is an awesome song from D4

also there are some cool local pop-punk bands from Long Island you can find them on myspace

The Legend Lives, Patent Pending and Mania in Urbania are just a few

Well I'm more into the "radio friendly MTV crap" like You Me At Six, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Good Charlotte etc. The usual teenage stuff.

I've never really been into Paramore though...

I think Paramore has some good singles but not a band really worth getting into. Which is pretty much what I think of those other bands you listed as well.

Yeah I have to say I listen to a lot of pop punk but I'm not particularly glued to one band.

You Me At Six are certainly a favourite but maybe because they mix in a lot of pop-rock in their more recent stuff, which I really like.

Sometimes pop punk gets a bit forgettable and whiney. But like I said, I listen to quite a lot - the usual teenage stuff :P

There is so many amazing pop punk bands out right now. First of all, 'Four Year Strong', 'Set Your Goals', and 'The Wonder Years'. If you don't know em, look em up, they're giving this genre a whole new meaning. These bands sprouted from pretty recently defunct great bands such as 'Crime in Stereo' and 'Daggermouth' that started heavily mixing pop punk and hardcore. don't think 'A Day to Remember' though - maybe imagine if all of blink was as talented instrumentally as Travis Barker and the lyrics less adolescent (not that there's anything wrong with those things). there are a lot of slightly younger bands putting great music like: the "Lifetime-esque" 'Such Gold' and 'Title Fight'. There's (imo) future pop punk stars 'Fireworks' and the perhaps overtly-sappy-but-I-like-'em 'Man Overboard'. Bands like 'Tiger Jaw' and 'Balance and Composure' who mix a big slice of indie and 90's emo to their pop punk punch. There's 'Transit' who manage to be deeply personal without sounding boring and stupid, in addition to the optimistic 'This Time Next Year', The relatively young 'Crucial Dudes', the stellar songwriting of 'The Swellers' and some other bands I'm just leaning about like 'Much The Same', 'Bangarang!', and 'Living With Lions'. Seriously, I love the classics as much as the next guy but ****, music still comes out! I'd put practically all those bands in my list.

btw wtf is wrong with Fall Out Boy? Take This to Your Grave is a classic and Folie À Deux is pretty solid overall album. a pretty solid overall band imo.

I gotta say, I hate the melodic hardcore/pop punk blend... I think it sounds like absolute trash, and in reality it's just fast pop-punk with horrible clean vocals and gang yelling.

Crime In Stereo are amazing, but I do not associate them with Four Year Strong and Set Your Goals at all, those bands have little resemblance to CIS.

well, they're actually awesome and I think they're associated

just listening to one song by them on Youtube they sound way more like Taking Back Sunday than Four Year Strong/Set Your Goals

Agreeeeeeed on both counts

The Descendents and ALL.

I personally think they sound like the punk rock Brand New.
