And the winner for the "Best Pop Punk Band Ever" award goes to...

[mayhamandeggs]

I say it's a three way tie between Mxpx, Blink 182, and the Descendants.
If I absolutely had to choose I would have to go with the Descendants, but if you're talkin' albums then MxPx definitely gets it for putting out the timeless and flawless "Life In General"; that shit is Pop-Punk perfection.

[Jumpoff]

Uhh. Nah man. Just the Descendents.

[Fuckmaxbemis]

Forgot Jawbreaker.

Lock request....

[thesafeword]

Better just grab your ankles now.

[versus_god]

Alexis Love Descendents

[shit stroll]

no valencia no care.

[x togepi x]

weird, since only one of those three is a pop punk band. the other two also fucking suck.

[funkel]

Autopilot Off never got enough credit.

[Jumpoff]

Autopilot Off never got enough credit.

I never even heard that band considered as pop punkt o be honest.

If I had to choose some kind of pop punk three way, it would be Screeching Weasel, The Descendents, and the Queers. And it would always end up being The Descendents as the clear winner.

[Rawrr]

Mainly Descendents, as everyone else said.

Agreed, indeed. I love the Descendents.

[mayhamandeggs]

Autopilot Off never got enough credit.

Oh man. APO is a fucking GREAT band. I love those guys. I first got into them when they were known as "Cooter" , and I highly, highly recommend their album "Don't Look Up"; it's fantastic. I was fortunate enough to meet them at the one and only show that I went to of theirs. I handed them my band's unfinished demo. Hahaha. Chris, whom I handed the CASETTE to, probably just chucked it because me and the guys couldn't finish up the vocal stuff in time. Hahhahahaha. Anyhoo, that was literally a dream come true ( I actually dreamt about two weeks prior to the show, before I knew it was going to happen, that I would see and meet the Starting Line; APO opened and pretty much stole that show).

[viva la cymche!]

You guys are fucking dumbshits, obviously The Maine is the Best Pop Punk Band Ever.

[heyzombiehitler]

Paramore

[mayhamandeggs]

You guys are fucking dumbshits, obviously The Maine is the Best Pop Punk Band Ever.

Yeah, and you're 14.

[mayhamandeggs]

You guys are fucking dumbshits, obviously The Maine is the Best Pop Punk Band Ever.

Okay, so I listened to "the Maine" and I would never consider them to be a pop-PUNK band. I personally don't like them that much, but I"m old so don't mind me; they're decent but I don't think they qualify for this category. Word.

[Jumpoff]

He's being sarcastic ignore him :-d

[mayhamandeggs]

Uhh. Nah man. Just the Descendents.

I just went to the Descendents web site; did you know of this? How fucking sad: " We're very sorry to announce that founding member of The DESCENDENTS, and close friend Frank Navetta passed away on October 31, 2008 after becoming ill over the course of a few days. This is obviously a huge loss for the DESCENDENTS family. His contribution to the band, and to music in general can not be overstated. Frank will be truly missed. We will share information about memorial services when we find out."

I obviously didn't know this guy or anything, but I imagine that the guys in the Descendents are a little fucked up over it. It would suck to lose someone close to you in such rapid succession. Fuck that.

[mayhamandeggs]

He's being sarcastic ignore him :-d

Haha. I see.

[Jumpoff]

To my knowledge, Frank wrote some songs on Milo Goes to College and was the lead guitarist at the game.. Was big news when it happened though so I knew a while ago. Terrible loss.

[mayhamandeggs]

Paramore

Nay to Paramore. NAY I SAY!! They're a guilty pleasure for sure. They're funny; I like watching video footage of them 'cause they crack me up. Hayley is freakin' adorable all the time.

[BlinkxExists21]

i like blink, but definitely the descendents.

[mayhamandeggs]

To my knowledge, Frank wrote some songs on Milo Goes to College and was the lead guitarist at the game.. Was big news when it happened though so I knew a while ago. Terrible loss.


I now feel awesome like an idiot.

[mayhamandeggs]

Dude, have you heard of Narwuar? I highly recommend that you watch him. He interviews bands in an attempt to show the fakes as the frauds they are and... well, I consider him to be a public servant, to be honest. He even calls himself the "human serviette". Go to youtube and check out Nardwuar. He has his own web site too.

[shit stroll]

late pass or latest pass?

[Kid Defender]

like them all, but i'll almost always go with mxpx.

[fadedmemories]

Why does everyone forget about Good Charlotte?

[E-Skeezy]

I opened this thread fully expecting to be upset at the lack of Descendents.

so glad I was wrong.

[Paulb-182]

Blink for me :/

[fly_guy]

Okay, so I listened to "the Maine" and I would never consider them to be a pop-PUNK band. I personally don't like them that much, but I"m old so don't mind me; they're decent but I don't think they qualify for this category. Word.

[DaKilla623]

Yall ever heard of whole wheat bread?

http://www.myspace.com/wholewheatbread

[Dr. Acula]

If you're going to include MxPx and Blink182...I would think Green Day would be on this *list*

[mayhamandeggs]

Why does everyone forget about Good Charlotte?

I think you said it all; everyone forgot about them. They're a forgettable band. I don't think that they were innovators of anything, but I will say that they put on an awesome live show. They opened for MxPx some years ago and really just rocked the fucking house; they almost stole the show. In fact, I think that they may have, unfortunately. Mike was trying desperately to reinvigorate people, and he did a good job of it, but you could tell that the kids were a little tuckered out after Good Charlotte. Oh, and I like the song "Life Styles Of The Rich And The Famous, and I think it's good that they got to where they want to be.

[thespearkid]

Probably either Cobra Starship or The Maine.

[mayhamandeggs]

If you're going to include MxPx and Blink182...I would think Green Day would be on this *list*

Oh yeah. Dur. Green Day is definitely a nominee. Fo sheez ( or something). I still pick Descendents and MxPx.

[.ATTACHEDtoyou]

whoever says the maine is stupid.
they have ABSOLUTELY NO TALENT.
do you hear me?
NO TALENT.

i would have to say the academy is...
are they classified as pop punk?
i think they're good cause their sound is kindof different and bill's voice is TOTALLY different than any other.
it's like melodic almost.

i think that green day should win like most influential band, since a ton of bands are influenced by them.
they along with blink started the pop punk/alternative genre.

[Jumpoff]

I want to punch you in your ovaries.

[thesafeword]

I'm 13 and I have no sense of sarcasm and then make a serious and terrible pick myself. Mommy and daddy, please use a filter.

[Rodeo]

That he wants to make his hand into a fist and violently hit you in the lower torso area.

[thesafeword]

This might be one reason.

[Jumpoff]

uhmm, what's that supposed to mean?

Punch
1. a thrusting blow, esp. with the fist.

Ovary
1. Anatomy, Zoology. the female gonad or reproductive gland, in which the ova and the hormones that regulate female secondary sex characteristics develop.

[.ATTACHEDtoyou]

That he wants to make his hand into a fist and violently hit you in the lower torso area.


i'm quite aware of what it literally means.

but why would he want to do that?

I would definitely like to add:

+ Latterman
+ The Lawrence Arms
+ Face To Face


And technically:

It's nothing personal. But when someone says something such as this, it deserves a swift punch. To the Ovaries.

i never really considered latterman/tla as pop punk to be honest (haven't heard facce to face)... and I never heard Clash referred to as pop punk either.

Needs more Buzzcocks.

[mayhamandeggs]

Hahahahahahaha. Hilarity...

[SanePsychotic]

I think Descendents would be the closest "best pop punk band ever". They're timeless to me.

Sure. It's not a problem with you liking a band or not, but thinking that blink182 and green day started pop punk is shenanigans in the highest degree.

[SanePsychotic]

If you're going to include MxPx and Blink182...I would think Green Day would be on this *list*

If you included some of their later work I'd be hesitant to include them, just because I've felt they've been more "rock" than "pop-punk". Dookie on its own would rank high on best pop-punk albums though.


+ The Queers
+ Dillinger Four

Of course, The Queers! They're such a fun band.


I'd also like to throw in The Ergs! if no one else has.

[llwilliamsll]

You forgot to add Slipknot on that list.

[Rodeo]

You forgot to add Slipknot on that list.


That's pop-metal, not pop-punk.

[TangledUp]

Blink-182 is MY favorite pop punk band, but I certainly don't consider them the best one by any means. I know their talent level is on the low side but I can't help but adore them. They're just so fun.

I would agree with The Descendents and The Clash. London Calling is a fantastic, fantastic album.

[mayhamandeggs]

I think Descendents would be the closest "best pop punk band ever". They're timeless to me.

The Descendents, for sure. Life in General is still my favorite P.P. album though. Hey, what about ALL? Some of ALL's old stuff was so good, dude. "Educated Idiot", for example, is a great song and they have many more like it off of that album.

[TangledUp]

i think that green day should win like most influential band, since a ton of bands are influenced by them.

Fail.

[TreyForest]

um its kinda difficult
decensdents are 2 good
so is screeching weasel

green day / offspring / blink 182 in the mid late 90s definatly held there own against the 80s pop punk though

it kinda makes you feel shitty about the 2000s
theres been nothing good
blink lost most of there punk drivin sound to them, new found glory came but there more of pophardcore

can someone please reccomend a band in the 2000s that are all about the fast drivng power chord pop punk just like the bands i already mentioned ?????

or has this decade gone completely boy band????

the ergs! teenage bottlerocket, chinese telephones, the copyrights, banner pilot, monikers, shorebirds, latterman.

The Ergs!

[Drown_The_City]

You guys are fucking dumbshits, obviously The Maine is the Best Pop Punk Band Ever.
Wait he's being sarcastic. John O is THE best lyricist ever

[Drown_The_City]

I really like the Promise Ring.... jsut throwing that out there

I think the Clash were big in starting pop punk.

[Ryzenfall]

Not sure about the best pop punk band ever, but the only one that exists today is MxPx.

[fadedmemories]

I think you said it all; everyone forgot about them. They're a forgettable band. I don't think that they were innovators of anything, but I will say that they put on an awesome live show. They opened for MxPx some years ago and really just rocked the fucking house; they almost stole the show. In fact, I think that they may have, unfortunately. Mike was trying desperately to reinvigorate people, and he did a good job of it, but you could tell that the kids were a little tuckered out after Good Charlotte. Oh, and I like the song "Life Styles Of The Rich And The Famous, and I think it's good that they got to where they want to be.
Hate to break it to you but I was being sarcastic dude.

[AlternateToLife]

Is this even a conversation? The Descendents. Stupid question.

[mayhamandeggs]

Hate to break it to you but I was being sarcastic dude.

Oh. Well, I still say that Good Charlotte put on a good live show. Not my favorite band, but, ya know, gotta give props whens theys is due.

Hahahaha. Indeed.

Hey, I like the Ergs! They're awesome. They sound like the Descendents, and the kid looks like Milo anyway. Haha. Rad. The rest of 'em are pretty good too. Rock and roll.

HONOURABLE MENTIONS: green day, offspring, NFG, good charlotte, fall out boy & sum 41

While a vastly underrated and awesome band, I don't think I could call them pop punk.

[mayhamandeggs]

I totally dig Fairweather. I love the midwest/eastcoast "emo-pop" stuff. My theory is that those bands were pop punk or maybe set out to be but the grit of the atmosphere on the east side bled into the cheery SoCal punk stuff. Just a theory.

I just wanted to add an example of that phenomenon; look at MxPx. You can totally tell that they went out to be this kind of sunny pop punk band, but, in addition to their age and experiences at the time, being from Bremerton, WA caused the sense of melancholy that "Life In General" has throughout it. It rains allot here in the NW. Haha.

[nikaidoh]

Why does everyone forget about Good Charlotte?


lmfao

[nikaidoh]

Mine would be Jawbreaker, Descendents, NoFX, Valencia, and NOFX

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that it's totally cool if you like Good Charlotte; even those of us on more exalted thrones sit on our own asses.

[UnderMyDreams]

Blink182, New Found Glory, The Ataris.

But I love Valencia as well, glad people are throwing them out here. Hit the Lights and All Time Low(its ok, kill me.) would be up there for me.

NFG's very high on my list. :-) With Blink, of course. And I could say older Green Day is as well.

[fadedmemories]

Both old and new GD is terrible.

[Jumpoff]

Both old and new GD is terrible.

No. Old GD is not terrible by a longshot.

[Circa1628]

No. Old GD is not terrible by a longshot.
No way.
so you say this, but think that All Time Low are a great band:lol:
Yeah :shrug: That doesn't mean ATL is the only band I listen to.

What's so great about Green day? Oh yeah they sang about masturbating and created an epic punk rawk opera masterpiece, sooo good.

[Jumpoff]

No way.

All Time Low is one of the destroyers of it..

Really? The chorus in Longview was one of the worst choruses I've ever heard
Yeah Green Day was one of the starters of the entire thing.

The only thing All Time Low has in common with Metro Station, Family Force 5 and all these other neon bands is their fanbase.

Green Day didn't start anything and ATL didn't destroy anything.

ATL is betr!!1!!

I wasn't aware I was in punx sir.

Green Day didn't start anything and ATL didn't destroy anything.
Agreed

[mayhamandeggs]

If you think ATL is better than Green Day, then get out of punx sir.



Green Day didn't start anything and ATL didn't destroy anything.

Agreed, sir. However, no one here can deny how massively influential Dookie was. I mean, jeez...
NFG is a great band too. I was obsessed with their self titled album back in like 2000 or something. Crazy; it's weird that they have been around for so long.

[Jumpoff]

Never liked NFG. Everyone tells me they are a great band because they are a gateway into hardcore, but I kind of missed that whole thing.

Well, I can kind of see why some people would say that. Chad certainly fronted Shai Hulud and, I'm not entirely sure about this, but I think Steve was doing something in the hardcore realm before he joined NFG.

In 5 years from now everyone will be listing Dillinger Four as their #1.



Right now though, Decendents are a good choice... The Ramones are still up there... but seriously name one Screeching Weasel or Face to Face album that you don't like.

anyways, my favorite is blink-182, then face to face or nfg, but i would never consider them the best. i'll leave that decision up to those who have lived through much more.

and have any of you listened to some of these newer bands, most of which i'm going to mention are more pop punk/hardcore (popcore?), like bangarang!(broken up), living with lions, daggermouth, the wonder years, etc.?

How so? Blink is nothing original and pretty over-rated. And does it really take 6 people to make the generic and unoriginal music that FTSK does?

[Wobbie]

The Descendants are great . . . but where's the Pop?
A. You spelt the band name wrong. B. Where isn't the pop? Moron.

It amazes me how many people confuse pop-rock with pop-punk.

Some of my fave pop-punk bands, old and new, most of which have been mentioned by people who know what they're talking about.

Screeching Weasel, Descendents, The Queers, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Ergs!, The Steinways, Dillinger Four, ALL, Samiam (Some of their stuff is pop-punk, some not. But it's all great), many more obviously. Descendents are probably my fave out of all of those.

Say fuck in front of your mom.
Hahaha. I love you :-d

That's bull, dude. No other band in the genre sounded like Blink until BLINK. Blink is like the Milo fucked Robert Smith and made an awesome butt baby. Sorry, that was gross but you get my point... EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY!!

Green Day did what blink did before them and better than them.

Never heard of Mxpx or The Descendants, but Blink 182 are punk rock not pop punk.

And Green Day are entirely different from Blink 182!
Firstly, the suck and Blink don't! Do I have to go any further?

[Naenia]

I agree that Green Day and Blink are entirely different. Also, though their influence and colossal importance is undeniable, I don't think Blink could ever seriously be called the greatest anything ...

You're an idiot. They are both pop-punk. They both always have been pop-punk. They got dubbed "punk-rock" by people like you.

[mayhamandeggs]

When I think of Blink 182 I think of the album "Dude Ranch"; they sounded nothing like Green Day on that. They're in vicinity of each other genre wise, but I still think that Blink sounds a bit different than GD. I can see why you say that though.

blink was influenced more by poppy music. Green Day has been and still is much heavier. Both still fall under the realm of pop-punk though.

New Found Glory FTW!

Doesn't get any better.

Rancid

Rancid is not pop punk.

There were pop punk bands before Blink.

Thank you. Blink gets treated like they were the first band ever.

What's so bad about Green Day compared to Blink?

And Blink-182 is not punk rock.
Rancid
This.

[ohheroine]

I mean, Something Corporate.

[Ohlax51]

Rancid is not pop punk.

They are certainly more of a pop punk band than many of the other bands mentioned in this thread. They are pop punk, unique pop punk, but pop punk none the less.

[dennybear]

Unique pop punk? What? Are you inventing genres of music?

No Im simply saying there a little less conventional than many of the other bands lumped into the genre.

Oh, totally. Blink reminds me of a mix of The Descendents and The Cure. Way poppy.

[theguy77]

Okay, so I listened to "the Maine" and I would never consider them to be a pop-PUNK band. I personally don't like them that much, but I"m old so don't mind me; they're decent but I don't think they qualify for this category. Word.

hahahaha oh the irony on page two. this is not what punx meant when it said "MOAR DISTORTION NAO!"

call me a hypocrite i frankly dont give a shit what the fake stuff is called im tired of going out of my way to call it something else.

[theguy77]

Punch
1. a thrusting blow, esp. with the fist.

Ovary
1. Anatomy, Zoology. the female gonad or reproductive gland, in which the ova and the hormones that regulate female secondary sex characteristics develop.

for some reason, this made me laugh REALLY hard

straight up defining punch and ovary for her :rotfl:

If i made a legit Punk or Pop-Punk band, we'd be called Jonathan and the Taylor Thomas'. No questions asked.

Hey guys! Check out my old bands! The first four songs are old and of crappy quality and the last two don't have vocals! But, they're all mine. Scope it out! www.myspace.com/proof151core

It is going well. I've got ten songs or so i'm hoping to record haha. I have to prioritize which ones i want done i guess, i don't know how much time i'll have in the studio.

[NElrod]

A. You spelt the band name wrong. B. Where isn't the pop? Moron.

It amazes me how many people confuse pop-rock with pop-punk.

Some of my fave pop-punk bands, old and new, most of which have been mentioned by people who know what they're talking about.

Screeching Weasel, Descendents, The Queers, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Ergs!, The Steinways, Dillinger Four, ALL, Samiam (Some of their stuff is pop-punk, some not. But it's all great), many more obviously. Descendents are probably my fave out of all of those.


Hahaha. I love you :-d
A. Spelt isn't a word. B. If The Descendents are so pop, then why is All so much more melodic?

Even.

[mayhamandeggs]

Rancid is kinda pop-punk. Let's all remember that even the fucking RAMONES are considered pop-punk. Shee-ittt. FUCK A BOWL OF MASHED POTATOES DICKSHITS!!! I LOVE POPTATOES!

There was a time when Offspring was not a pop punk band. They used to be good.
