Your dream Pop-punk set-list

[I<3JohnJameson]

A few friends in different bands/musicians who just like/liked pop-punk in HS and myself are going to put together a band to play a one time(maybe more) set of covers at a local show/small club here in the boston area. It will probably be a 10-15 song set list. This is something I have always wanted to do since picking up a guitar at 15 so I am looking forward to having a bunch of fun playing music that reminds me of the only real fun I had in HS.


What would you want to here if you were going to a show like this? What bands and songs would you cover if you could? I don't want this to turn into an argument over whats pop-punk and whats not so feel free to suggest anything you think would go over well in that kind of setting/styling.

A few bands we are thinking of: Fenix TX, Blink, Green Day, MXPX, Unwritten Law and so on.

PS.I don't really care what you think of those bands or how much you hate pop punk so don't strain your digits pontificating and being bitter.

Thanks for any input

As much as I enjoy Four Year Strong and Mayday Parade (and I do. I have seen them both a couple times and have their cd's) I am looking more for songs & bands that were big when I was in high school WAAAAAY back in 2001-2004. So please try and keep it in that general time or before.
