If you hate pop punk, then just don't come in here. It's that simple.

Some really good shit:

Set Your Goals
The Movielife
New Found Glory
The Get Up Kids
Saves The Day
Blink, of course
Brand New
Fireworks
H2O
Lifetime

Brand New is a great band...

Paramore is a guilty pleasure of mine.

I think I only listen to head automatica, and that's it.

they are like the mainstream of mainstream pop punk lol but yeah they do deserve to be up there (of course i'm talking everything pre- american idiot...it was an ok album but still a little cheesy. i haven't listened to the new album, and probably won't)

I just read that Blink-182 got back together. Anyone knew about this?

bright lights, big city · May 16, 2009, 03:15 PM

yeah dude, supposedly a new album is on the way for the fall.

theis · May 16, 2009, 03:56 PM

That's pretty cool. I've always enjoyed Blink for some reason.

bright lights, big city · May 16, 2009, 04:47 PM

Blink, of course

When I was younger I used to like these guys and of course Green Day

Blink is touring this summer, with WEEZER as special guest, nostalgia anyone?!? I'd love to go but am afraid I don't know anyone that would enjoy this :/

probably because of their awesome talent.

I love Blink, but I like New Found Glory a lot more.

Their earlier albums with the gorilla biscuits influence and the newest album are just the best examples of summer happy music i can find.

really, i enjoy every album they've made. some people get turned off by the vocals.

Set Your Goals and Fireworks are also really good.

I know what you mean, and I got into them because their original material really was catchy. Well, that and their hardcore roots (very similar to Fall Out Boy, too, honestly).

But yeah anyways their new album is good? I'll admit i passed up on it just because I assumed it would suck. They kind of disappeared for a few years there. Shouldn't have done that I guess, though. I'm gonna go give it a listen...

it's not an essential NFG album, but it's a fun listen and you can tell they're back to having fun again after the bittersweet last album.
I actually saw them a couple weeks ago and they put on a hell of a show.
