| Your favourite pop punk albums of the decade
Inspired by Nate the Mate's video on his pop punk albums of the decade, I wanted to see what sput's opinion on this decades' pop punk was :) list is my personal favourites/recommendations in the genre. | | 1 |  | The Story So Far
Proper Dose
I know this band gets kinda circle-jerked in the pop punk community but this album is great in many ways. | | 2 |  | The 101's
For The Years
A relatively unknown pop punk band from the Netherlands. They quit some time ago, this album is not a 5 but for me it has a lot of value. Check it out if you like pop punk :) | | 3 |  | A Day to Remember
Common Courtesy
It's not 100% pop punk because of the very obvious metalcore influences, so listing this here is a little out of place but this band comes up in pop punk discussions quite often and I think this album is solid. | | 4 |  | Neck Deep
Life's Not Out To Get You
Straight up pop punk, surely some cringy, juvenile lyrics at times, but the overall songwriting feels really catchy to me and I really do appreciate the energy within their songs. | | 5 |  | State Champs
The Finer Things
I am not a huge fan of State Champs but I checked out all of their albums and I definitely feel like this is a pop punk album that every fan of the genre should check out. | | 6 |  | Hold Close
Time
A moody, peaceful and at times uplifting pop punk/emo album that was largely written in tribute to the death of a friend of the band (at least, that's my interpretation of the whole collection of songs). | | 7 |  | Can't Swim
Fail You Again
Not a 100% pop punk band but easily has enough influences from the genre that I could list it here and I think this album is lovely. It's not just one style of music, it's a mix of things and it's done in a very interesting, catchy and emotive way. | | 8 |  | Spanish Love Songs
Schmaltz
Recommended sad boi pop punk. I think there's a great review written about it on sput that explains the album a lot better. | | 9 |  | Trash Boat
Crown Shyness
Lovely mix of post-hardcore and pop punk. I met these guys multiple times and they're great dudes, their work is 100% worth checking out if you're into one of those genres. | |

12.12.19 | alkaline trio - is this thing cursed and menzingers - after the party/otip probably make up my top 3. dangerous summer's war paint would be up there too
8 is incredible tho and definitely belongs on the list. 1 is great too | GhandhiLion
12.12.19 | Black Midi | JohnnyoftheWell
12.12.19 | Black Milk | Ecnalzen
12.12.19 | Not really familiar with these, but here are a few that caught my attention from the 2010s so far:
Belvedere - Revenge of the Fifth
No Trigger - Tycoon
Like Pacific - Distant Like You Asked
Such Gold - Misadventures
Interested in 8 and 9 here, tho. 8 looks super familiar but I don't remember if I have heard it or not. | Observer

1. Yellowcard - Southern Air
2. TSSF - Proper Dose
3. TWY - The Greatest Generation
4. Neck Deep - Life's Not Out To Get You
5. Captain, We're Sinking - The Future is Cancelled
6. Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed?
7. Grayscale - Adornment
8. Transit - Listen & Forgive
9. Senses Fail - If There Is Light, It Will Find You
10. Hot Mulligan - Pilot
Honorable mentions go to Spraynard, Iron Chic, In Her Own Words, and several others. Lot of good stuff this decade
I also would DEFINITELY slot The Maine - Lovely Little Lonely near the top, but I classify that much more as pop rock | onionbubs
12.12.19 | oh shit yeah shoutout that senses fail album and cws | dedex
12.12.19 | Best pop punk of the decade is Four Year Strong - Enemy of the World
The Greatest Generation is a close second | AnimalsAsSummit
12.12.19 | second stage turbine blade | tectactoe
12.12.19 | Captain, We're Sinking - 'The Future Is Cancelled' | butt.
12.12.19 | I click on your #2 on this list and...you only gave it a 3? | butt.
12.12.19 | also list is sorely missing Menzingers | Josh D.
12.12.19 | I really dislike the genre, so I can't contribute anything but that thought.
Actually, I do still kinda dig "My Friends Over You". | Relinquished
12.12.19 | "Taking Back Sunday's Tidal Wave (massively underappreciated)"
backed hard. prob the only pop punk band I like mainly thru nostalgia | Atari
12.12.19 | Heartsounds - Internal Eyes (a tragically overlooked gem)
For a heavier Taking Back Sunday also check The Flatliners - Cavalcade | Observer
12.13.19 | Oh yeah, forgot about that flatliners album, Ill 2nd that. Also: Polar Bear Club's Clash Battle Pride is their most accessible album and best imo. A lot to like there if you like pop punk tinged with post hardcore. | Minushuman24
12.13.19 | 8, The Future Is Cancelled, The Greatest Generation, Situationist Comedy | SlothcoreSam
12.13.19 | Just off the top of my head, here is my top 15 pop-Punkyish albums for the decade. There will be a more comprehensive list coming.
15. The Sidekicks- Awkward Breeds
14. The Wonder Years- The Greatest Generation
13. Mobina Galore- Feeling Disconnected
12. Telethon- The Grand Spontanean
11. Apologies I Have None- London
10. Stuck Out Here- Untill we're Each Someone Else
9. PEARS- Green Star
8. Frenzal Rhomb- Smoko at the Pet Food Factory
7. Joyce Mannor- Joyce Mannor
6. The Hotelier- Home, Like No Place Is there
5. Spanish Love Songs- Schmaltz
4. Captain, We're Sinking- Future is cancelled
3. The Flatliners- Cavalcade
2. The Smith Street Band- Throw me in the River & No One Gets Lost Anymore
1. The Menzingers - On The Impossible Past & After The Party | SlothcoreSam
12.13.19 | Hey Minus, I think that Dillinger Four album came out early 2000s | Observer
12.13.19 | Great list sloth, reminded me to check smith street band, which i havent. | Atari
12.13.19 | wait Sloth, you saying Telethon's last album is even better than the new one?! stoked to check it out. agreed with a lot of that list | SlothcoreSam
12.13.19 | Yeah that Telethon album is crazy good, what got me into the band, it is an apocalyptic pop-punk-rock opera. You need to immerse yourself in it, so give yourself a couple of hours. Chris Farren and Laura Stevenson both do guest vocals.
Check it out here, it is a master piece.
The song Stillwave, featuring Chris Farren, has some of the best storytelling I have ever heard in a pop-punk song. Sooooooo good.
