Favorite Pop-punk band
 

I was wondering if anyone on the board actually likes some pop punk groups. I mean, it's a given that any of that radio pop punk is terrible, but what about otherwise?

Personally I love Hot Cross, and I'd like to know more artists similar to them.

the Buzzcocks are awesome.

The Ramones

I always say that if you dont like something about Green Day then you havent got a soul

Shonen Knife

the only ones that come close after that are The Fastbacks, The Muffs and Redd Kross

Ah yes, that wonderful Twist Barbie song someone posted.
I had a freind who was big into her japanese punk-pop and i mentioned Shonen Knife because they were the only thing id heard of and she did the very polite and understanding "Yeah, thats what youve HEARD" type speech

Ah yes, The Muffs. I have a poster of theirs on my wall and I still forgot.

If you want to call them Punk

Wire

The Jam

The Rezillos

XTC

Well, yeah, the Ramones. How could anybody top that??

And the Buzzcocks follow suit pretty closely.

On a personal level, the Fastbacks, who I dearly miss. Also Girl Trouble, though they are more pop-garage-punk. The Weirdos also come to mind rather quickly.

The Ramones
The Buzzcocks
The Only Ones
The Descendents

The Ramones
The Buzzcocks

The Lemonheads

that may be stretching the term a bit though

The Ramones
Green Day (to an extent)

Descendents
Screeching Weasel
Jawbreaker

All of these bands are hit and miss with me.

For right now The Thermals, that song Pilar of Salt gets me going.

The Descendents (Milo Goes to College era)
Buzzcocks
The Saints (dont know it they count)

im soulless thn!!
pop punk is very broad term... i mean wire, buzzcocks? i personally wouldnt class them in there.

i may class erase errata , numbers, the rapture (before the got big), in there but i know thats not where the thread is going or was ever intended to go....

so my answer would be the clash.....

I actually don't think Green Day are that bad. I mean they're not great but some of the slack they get you would think they had killed someone. Same with My Chemical Romance. I can't hate any band that manages to piss message board people off that much, just by existing.

1. Ramones
2. Red Kross (not that anything they ever did was 'popular')
3. The Go-Gos
4. The Runaways
5. Keith Morris Era Black Flag

shonen knife and the ramones, these two bands can't be beat
