What are the pop-punk "Must Have"s?

[drzafs]

I grew up (well, I'm still growing up but, you know what I mean) on blink-182, GreenDay and New Found Glory.
I've only recently fallen in love with Fall Out Boy's Take This To Your Grave and I was wondering what the other "Must Have"s are that I'm missing out on.

[xhotandfatx]

fenix tx - s/t
the movielife - has a gambling problem
the starting line - say it like you mean it
finch - what it is to burn (not really pop punk, but good nonetheless)
midtown - save the world lose the girl

these are all drive thru records releases. all the bands are pretty broken up too. sad as it is. but enjoy.

not pop punk but an amazing album: Spitalfield - Remember Right Now
No you were right, pop-punk if a little harder :)

[Heart-A-Tact]

It might not be considered a "must have," but, Adelphi's Walking On the Ceiling of the Sky is great. Also, Best Interest's Camera Shy But Still A Star is good.

[LilRyan732]

No you were right, pop-punk if a little harder :)


really, you think it's harder? cause that's why i was hesitant to include it, i thought it was a little softer overall. some of the guitar parts were really hard rocking for that style of music, but the vocals were softer than your average pop punk.


btw i love bon iver's stuff, so kudos to you.

[ikikwe]

the movielife - has a gambling problem


I would say This Time Next Year is a better release, but I guess HAGP is more traditional pop-punk in terms of the other bands you listed.

See I do know exactly what you mean, the vocals are a lot softer, but I think you can really hear their NY hardcore influences especially in that record. That's why I would think it's harder hmm.
Bon Iver is rad, my big sister really got me into him. I wanna get For Emma on vinyl.

[xhotandfatx]

i agree with you as well. i was thinking drive thru releases and didnt even think of this time next year. lol. i was gonna say 40 hour train back to penn, but hagp hits more to home for me.

The Ataris - Blue Skies and Broken Hearts
Bayside - S/T
Brand New - Your Favorite Weapon
Dashboard Confessional - Swiss Army Romance

Something Corporate - Leaving Through the Window
Taking Back Sunday - Tell All Your Friends
Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance
Underoath - They're Only Chasing Safety

Now, obviously some of these have already been mentioned. And obviously some of the bands have come out with releases that are superior/inferior than what I've listed. But these are just the albums that I came across after I was a piece of shit 12 year old hearing "Basket Case" for the first time...the ones that really influenced the direction that my musical tastes went in.

I put the ones that I feel are a must own in bold...hope this helps.
