Favorite Pop-punk band

Inhuman · 02.17.2007, 07:37 PM

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.

Danny Himself · 02.17.2007, 07:51 PM

The Ramones

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

pantophobia · 02.17.2007, 08:08 PM

Shonen Knife

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

the ikara cult · 02.17.2007, 08:15 PM

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

Danny Himself · 02.17.2007, 08:19 PM

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

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

that may be stretching the term a bit though

LittlePuppetBoy · 02.17.2007, 09:43 PM

The Ramones
Green Day (to an extent)

John Violence · 02.17.2007, 09:49 PM

All of these bands are hit and miss with me.

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

Onani Nic · 02.17.2007, 11:44 PM

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.

demonrail666 · 02.18.2007, 09:19 AM

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
