| Pop-punk Is A-ok
Since listening to ...Is A Real Boy a few days ago, I'm again enjoying pop-punk again. The genre gets a lot of slack it doesn't deserve, so below are some of my favorite albums in the genre. Recs are very much appreciated, 'cause my knowledge of the genre is pretty limited. | | 1 |  | Ramones
Ramones
The guys that started it all. Hilarious lyrics, fast songs, too much fun. Their first four albums are all equally good. Not much I can say, that hasn't been said about them, but they are kind of the perfect party band. | | 2 |  | Ramones
Leave Home | | 3 |  | Ramones
Rocket To Russia | | 4 |  | Ramones
Road To Ruin | | 5 |  | Buzzcocks
Singles Going Steady
One of the great British punk bands. Their music hasn't dated one bit. Got the "Never Mind The Buzzcocks"-quiz named after them, which is also really fun. | | 6 |  | The Undertones
The Undertones
They could be called the Irish Ramones, but actually they're better. | | 7 |  | Misfits
Walk Among Us
Maybe a bit of a stretch to call these guys "pop", but those lyrics man! I TURNED INTO A MARTIAN, WHOAWHOAOA | | 8 |  | Descendents
Milo Goes To College
Considered by many to be the first "modern" pop-punk album. It's just really good. | | 9 |  | Green Day
Dookie
Loved by many, hated by equally as many. I don't care, this is a milestone in the genre. | | 10 |  | The Vandals
Hitler Bad, Vandals Good
Hilarious. Listen to this yesterday if you're a fan of sarcastic, cynic and morbid humor. | | 11 |  | Sum 41
All Killer No Filler
When they were actually enjoyable | | 12 |  | Blink-182
Blink-182
Never liked Blink that much, until I really listened to their s/t again recently. Now I really like this album, the rest of the discog is still pretty hit-or-miss though. | | 13 |  | Say Anything
...Is A Real Boy
My reason to start this list. Can't stop listening to this. Great lines, terrific song structures and super catchy. It also gets bonus points for sounding refreshing without resorting to experimenting with "special" instruments or electronics. | | 14 | | Panic! At The Disco
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out
Call it nostalgia maybe, but I still absolutely love this record. Their other albums are terrible, sadly. | | 15 |  | Bomb The Music Industry!
Vacation
One of the best albums I heard this year, and the best I heard in the genre period. Smart lyrics, witty and humorous, fantastic song structures, super catchy hooks, riffs and chorusses, and probably the best transitions between songs and overall album flow ever... Yeah, I adore this record. | |

12.19.11 | Artwork :/ | Sanders
12.19.11 | I'll leave this for andcas to deal with. | StrangerofSorts
12.19.11 | Nah, it deserves it. | clercqie
12.19.11 | Stranger, a lot of the genre indeed sucks, but there are plenty of gems as well. | fulgrim
12.19.11 | Yeah, there's a lot of good pop-punk out there, maybe check out a few of these:
The Ergs! - Dorkrockcorkrod
House Boat - The Delaware Octapus
The Dopamines - Expect the Worst
Park - It Wont Snow Where Youre Going
The Wonder Years - The Upsides | clercqie
12.19.11 | Thanks man! Will do!
Have heard some good things about House Boat already. | StrangerofSorts
12.19.11 | There are a few gems, sure, I used to be quite into the genre when I was first breaking into music. But I'll listen to pop-punk albums people on here praise through the roof and they bore me. Might be something to do with culture though, pop-punk is pretty US-centric. | Deathcar
12.19.11 | Dude, definitely check out Northstar - Pollyanna, it's one of the best pop-punk albums ever, for me at least. | FruityCatOfDoom
12.19.11 | I don't like pop punk. | Vespiion
12.19.11 | Set Your Goals - Mutiny!
Bears & Bright Lights - Bears & Bright Lights
Mayday Parade - A Lesson In Romantics
| clercqie

06.29.12 | Cartel - Chroma | jdennis31
06.29.12 | no one on this site ever mentions the dangerous summer or strange vacation which would be the two best pop punk bands in this thread. misser's new album is pretty awesome too, might grow into my fav. |
