Top 100 Pop-Punk Songs - Nominations

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Ok, i decided i'm gonna do this as it will be fairly fun and interesting.

Some simple rules:

1. You can vote for up to 5 songs. That's it.

2. They have to be pop-punk. I will allow bands such as Senses Fail and the likes. But bands such as Thrice and Thursday aren't allowed. Ska pop-punk bands are obviously allowed. I will be happy to discuss these kinda quesions.

3. The nominations will be closed in 5 days. So get your votes in.

4. I'm going to include 100 songs for the polls, so if there is more than 100 songs then i will have to do a random process of elimination for the songs with only 1 nomination. If a song has more than 1 nomination it will automatically make it through to the polls.

5. I hope that's clear, go nuts :D

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Mine:

1. NoFx - The Decline
2. Alkaline Trio - Every thug needs a lady
3. Rancid - Jouney to the end of the east bay
4. The Starting Line - A Good Nights Sleep
5. Taking Back Sunday - Head Club

[Mute Print]

Good timing Dan, as my Non-Pop-Punk Bands List will (finally) be posted this weekend. :)

It's going to be hard to pick 5 songs though. I'll have to get back to you. :-\

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Oh yeah i forgot about that, the blurb writing has taken agess.

I was thinking that 10 would end in there being too many songs nominated therefore i would have to cut down too many.

[Left Shoe]

TBS- Timberwolves in NJ, greates romances of the 20th century
Brand New- okay i beleive you but my tommy gun dont. Guernica, Play crack the sky

[Mute Print]

I was thinking that 10 would end in there being too many songs nominated therefore i would have to cut down too many.
Yeah, five is good. It's just going to be hard.

[Chilly-Bean-Bop]

1. '97- Alkaline Trio
2. Bridge and Tunnel Authority- Less Than Jake
3. Superman- Goldfinger
4. Hey Luno- The Aquabats
5. Shotgun- Less Than Jake

[chumpradio]

All of mine are going to be JEW songs.

Jimmy Eat World;
Kill, Disintegration, Blister, Digits, When I Want

[Angry Balled Fists!]

btw, it's best if you don't choose 5 songs from a band, as if makes it fairer and easier but i'm not gonna object really.

[Bad Blood]

Saves The Day - Jessie And My Whetstone
Angels And Airwaves - The Adventure
Taking Back Sunday - Make Damn Sure
Alkaline Trio - Radio
Bayside - Talking Of Michelangelo.

It wasn't too hard for me. I'm finding it difficult to find an album I really like at the moment.

[Get Fighted]

1. Green Day - When I Come Around
2. Blink 182 - Online Songs
3. Hawthorne Heights - We Are So Last Year
4. TBS - Great Romances Of The 20th Century
5. Fall Out Boy - Snitches And Talkers Get Stitches And Walkers

The Offspring - The Kids Aren't Alright
Bouncing Souls - True Believers
Bouncing Souls - Hopeless Romantic
Green Day - Welcome To Paradise

Hard.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Bayside - Megan


That song was written by The Smoking Popes not Bayside.

[skingle]

I know that, but i prefer the bayside version. If it has to be the original then i'll just change the artist. |Besides the vocalist is still on the bayside recording isn't he?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Well, like it should be changed because they just performed it they didn't write it. And ya the vocalist is on the Bayside recording, but that doesn't really matter.

[skingle]

I guess dan can decide whether covers are allowed. I just really like the two voices together, and that, in my opinion, is what makes it better than the original.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Yeah I guess it would be okay. It is a different song.

[skingle]

Out of interest, which do you prefer, and why?

[Pazz]

5 is going to be hard. I will attempt it later tonight. I know a couple of songs for sure though.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya 5 will be hard.


I haven't heard the Smoking Popes version but I love the Bayside version. I like the blending of the voices. I like Anothony's voice better though.

[Concubine]

Armor For Sleep - Dream To Make Believe

i don't know the names of the first two tbs songs, but i know the lyrics so:
1. the one that goes "WE WON'T STAND FOR HAZY EYES ANYMORE!"

2.and the one that goes "the truth is, you could slit my throat, and with my one last gasping breath i'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt. AND ALL I! NEED TO KNOW! IS SOMETHING.... MAYBE I SHOULD HATE YOU FOR THIS, NEVER REALLY DID EVER QUITE GET THAT FAR."

3. blink-182 - carosaul

[person777]

[FungusAmngus870]

Blink 182 - "carousel"
Brand New - "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad"
Taking Back Sunday - "Great Romances of the 20th Century"
Hot Water Music - "Old Rules"

I'm surprised by the lack of Blink and the overwhelming amount of Saves the Day. Both bands should have highly rated songs.

[irtehmitchell]

i posted all std songs cause i knew blink would be well represented. but std really is one of the best pop punk bands. someone should go with some lifetime here too.

[Mitch2oo6]

Taking Back Sunday: Cute without the 'e'(Cut from the team)
Saves The Day: Head For The Hills
Blink 182: Carousel
Blink 182: Dammit
Brand New: Mix Tape

[Angry Balled Fists!]

These are some awesome lists.

STD have probably got most nominations.

[Fire Away]

Green Day - Welcome To Paradise
The Starting Line - Up And Go
Reel Big Fish - Where Have You Been
MxPx - Middlename
Alkaline Trio - Every Thug Needs A Lady

[sketchyjoe]

The Bouncing Souls - True Believers

Onion Flavored Rings - Positively Treat Street
The Max Levine Ensemble - Tidal Wave
Dillinger Four - File Under: Adult Urban Contemporary

[Ross]

I don't like Saves The Day at all <_< urgh urgh urgh urgh urgh.

Blink182 - Dumpweed
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons
NOFX - It's My Job To Keep Punk Rock Elite
Captain Everything! - Rocket Science?
Millencolin - Fingers Crossed

Jesus, that was so hard. I tried to pick songs that represented the very best things about pop-punk, but my god it was hard.

I dropped Anti-Flag for Goldfinger for example, as the 99 Red Balloons cover is an absolute classic. Captain Everything! won over Catch 22's Keasbey Nights, simply because I feel they are one of the best upcoming pop-punk bands on the scene today. Dumpweed is an absolute classic, as is Fingers Crossed; personally I think they're the most representitive of pop-punk songs by both bands. I couldn't leave out the fastest NOFX song/album opener ever though :) I'd say The Decline, but that's had at least two nominations already. I really wanted to put Rancid - Radio in, but there just wasn't space.

/thought

[Henrik]

Bouncing Souls - True Believers
Streetlight Manifesto - Everything went numb
Teenage Bottlerocket - Stupid games
The Offspring - Staring at the sun
Less Than jake - Johnny quest thinks we're sellouts.

Panic at the Disco - There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey
Say Anything - Alive With the Glory of Love
Straylight Run - Hands In The Sky(Big Shot)
Thursday - Jet Black New Year

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Thursday isn't allowed.

[Kif]

I'm gonna wait until this non-PP list is posted. It's far too hard to justify half of these nominations from the ruling that "bands like Thrice and Thursday aren't allowed".

[bottlerocket]

TBS: Timberwolves at NJ
Brand New: Seventy Times 7
Brand New: Jude Law and a Semester Abroad
Blink 182: Carousel
Blink 182: Dammit

My favorite TBS song is Great Romances but I don't think it's pop-punk enough to be considered one of the best pop-punk songs of all time. :p

I also tried to nominate songs I didn't see too much of but after reading through the thread, they were all nominated. :(

-Gav

[Firecracker]

Ah yay this will be ACE.

Alkaline Trio - Goodbye Forever
NOFX - Franco Un-American
Taking Back Sunday - Cute Without The 'E'

Panic at the Disco - There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey
Say Anything - Alive With the Glory of Love
Straylight Run - Hands In The Sky(Big Shot)
Thursday - Jet Black New Year
You know your Panic! songs.
That's their best, BY FAR.

[Kif]

You know your Panic! songs.
That's their best, BY FAR.
"Build God, Then We'll Talk" has always been my favourite. Perfect way to end the album, with lots of instruments and witty lyrics.

[poprocks&coke]

Alkaline Trio - My Friend Peter
Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
Taking Back Sunday - Great Romances (of the 21st Century)
My Chemical Romance - Headfirst for Halos

[Left Shoe]

TBS: Timberwolves at NJ
Brand New: Seventy Times 7
Brand New: Jude Law and a Semester Abroad
Blink 182: Carousel
Blink 182: Dammit

My favorite TBS song is Great Romances but I don't think it's pop-punk enough to be considered one of the best pop-punk songs of all time. :p

I also tried to nominate songs I didn't see too much of but after reading through the thread, they were all nominated. :(

-Gav
i didnt expect blink 182 from you =P you like welcome to the plague year...and blink 182....you are amazing

[Fish]

TBS - MakeDameSure
Offspring - The Kids Arent Alright
Blink 182 - Stockholm Syndrome
Coheed and Cambria - The Suffering
Boys Night Out - (Just Once) Let's Do Something Different

[Firecracker]

They should be classic songs, not personal favourites off random albums.

[Society Sellout]

Thursday isn't allowed.

Ahh shoot... I listen to so many different genres it's hard to pin down favorite songs from just one of them.

[Kif]

They should be classic songs, not personal favourites off random albums.
"Franco Un-American" and "Goodbye Forever" are hardly classics :p

[Tjebby]

Franco Un-American is great! One of my favorite NOFX songs.

[Firecracker]

Yeah they are!

Goodbye forever, the first trio single, videod in their back yard with some acoustic guitars and a lawnmower.

[Kif]

Franco Un-American is great! One of my favorite NOFX songs.
They should be classic songs, not personal favourites off random albums.
:rolleyes:

[Firecracker]

blah blah blah

[Tjebby]

I never said it was a classic, i just said it was good and one of my favorites of NOFX. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT SON

[Firecracker]

There are little more than 20 'real' classics as kif would say, so we have to make some exceptions but kif has to be pedantic though.

[Kif]

Either way, here's my list:

NOFX - "The Decline"
Blink-182 - "Dammit"
The Offspring - "Jennifer Lost The War"
Descendents - "I'm The One"
AFI - "Totalimmortal"

[YDload]

1. Green Day- Longview
2. Blink 182- Dammit
3. Jimmy Eat World- Bleed American
4. Coheed and Cambria- Time Consumer
5. Rancid- Black Lung

I know I don't usually post in Pop-Punk, but come on these are pretty good songs right? Or at least important ones.

[clearvision]

Saves the day - At your funeral
Fall out boy - Saturday
P!ATD - The only difference...
Co & Ca - In keeping secrets of silent earth

You are right.
Especially the Rancid one.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

alkaline trio - radio
less than jake - the last hour of the last day of work
strung out - too close to see
kid dynamite - bookworm
the offspring - self esteem

[YDload]

You are right.
Especially the Rancid one.
Thanks FC Cheese ;)

I chose Black Lung because it's fun to play on bass. Pretty tricky but not as insane as Maxwell Murder and Axiom.

Although my favorite Coheed song is "The Crowing," I felt it wasn't pop-punk enough. Maybe I should have chosen Devil In Jersey City or something.

[spoon_of_grimbo]

actually, seeing as a few people have put hot water music (i originaly didnt mention them, as i dont consider htem pop punk), thye seem to have been allowed...

so i trade the KD one for a HWM one, so now i've voted for...

alkaline trio - radio
less than jake - the last hour of the last day of work
strung out - too close to see
hot water music - turnstile
the offspring - self esteem

New Found Glory- Better Off Dead

Fukc that was hard, I feel bad about leaving some songs out, especially NOFX- Fran Unamerican

[Firecracker]

Some people could have nominated them anyway.
So it wouldn't matter.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I guess AFI isn't allowed then? What about Funeral for a Friend?

[Firecracker]

7777 praise!
AFI should be allowed. bumwags.
flogging molly was allowed in the bands, and they're far from pop-punk.

Blink 182- Violence
Say Anything - Alive with The Glory of Love
My Chemical Romance - Demolitian Lovers

[Triangle]

Blink 182 - Going Away To College
Taking Back Sunday - A Decade Under The Influence
Jimmy Eat World - A Praise Chorus
Coheed & Cambria - Delirium Trigger
Green Day - Stuck With Me

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Yeah, i'm not fussed about covers rly.

FFAF are allowed.

Uhmm i dunno about AFI, as they were a punk band, but i guess it doesn't matter.

[Firecracker]

meh
your call.
Then Relient k - Manic Monday should be in there. :p

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Wait, what's your list and what are you arguing for/against ? :confused:

[Firecracker]

I've given mine, and i wondered whether there should be covers, you said you don't care so i thought i might say that that cover should be there as a joke almost.

[Mute Print]

flogging molly was allowed in the bands, and they're far from pop-punk.
Flogging Molly wasn't allowed in the bands. :-\

[The Jungler]

Weezer- Undone
Is Weezer considered Pop-Punk? Because if they are I will have to change my list.

[Firecracker]

Flogging Molly wasn't allowed in the bands. :-\
I remember it being there?

[Mute Print]

I remember it being there?
I don't think they were allowed, although I could be wrong.

If they were allowed, they didn't make the list.

[apple pie]

Blink 182 Lyrics Everytime I Look For You
Sum 41 Lyrics In Too Deep
Time of your life- Green Day
Want You bad - Offspring

[Kif]

If Rancid are allowed, I think AFI should definately be.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Well, Rancid are pretty much a pop-punk band and i said AFI can be.

[skingle]

Woah, didnt think there would be. I know the decline will be in it, and i think its a favourite to win.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Well there are 230 songs nominated and there can't be 130 of the same songs, so uhmm i might do a top 150 or something, i'll see.

[Jersey's Best Dancer]
