Pretty mainstream

But id actually say this is a contender. Green Day made a few great songs before they went shit in the 2000's.

this thread will be probably be fucking enormous

i'm sure that, like many other people on here, i used to listen to nearly nothing other than pop punk and nu metal. therefore i actually know more pop punk songs than i do songs from any other genre. picking a favourite pop punk song is a painfully difficult question.

therefore i'm not going to answer, i'm going to ask another question... what's the best cover of a pop punk song ? i say this, i listened to this several times a day last year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDZxZzNk848

I'll just do a list of loads of earlier pop punk (Im not sure if you can call modern bands pop punk...as it is soooooo corporately marketed)

I'll include an elvis costello song cos he was punk in essence early on
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpprOGsLWUo

oooh here are the revillos....not exactly the 'best' pop punk, but a template for future pop punk girl voice copies (unless someone knows of an earlier one)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lLNL51NAoc

babylons burning - the ruts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCkNu9OxThc

I guess that a lot of the clash stuff was more pop perhaps london calling being the best of their pop punk

of course the buzzcocks were the first AND the best perveyers of pop punk with this being the pinnacle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bif2q_Zo3-4

although my absolute favourate from them is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ63Ite4l7g

of course john peels favourate the undertones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAtUw6lxcis

the only ones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvO7HNQPFRI

I feel that in memory of poly styrene i should also include
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue5jyj_nosc

Bow wow wow's drummer Dave barb was also in republica later on
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_R0Kvk7G9U punky peon to recording your fave music on cassette
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4Gh-GH8Miw....this is more poppy

you may think that this lot are more manufactured....but are they really less punk than green day (who I do like)? Green Day are a reliable corporate stock market business proposition, after all.....far more reliable to 'invest in' than one of malcolm maclaren's influenced bands.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HkZlF6BKxQ
and another incarnation of him (cos i vaguely knew him)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9becn8y3CA&feature=related

But this is the best pop punk ever cos it is the only song that i know of with my name in it - jolted john
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMj1xM8QCRg&feature=related

I feel quite ashamed in retrospect but for a while, in the early days I liked U2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztYTXd5dkJA
and here is bono skipping around a prison making nonsense of my idea that this was pop punk.....but in the day, before they became global we all thought they were
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBP64ZssRNY

I guess the sex pistols are also pop punk

Im not including lots of bands cos im not sure if they are pop.

    Listen to them together because they are pretty much the same piece, just different parts. Shows that their songwriting really matured after a while.

As a man who runs a pop punk and nu metal revival night, here is my expert opinion

I'll give you a top 10, in no particular order

1. Alkaline Trio - Armageddon (first time I got dumped I listened to this like a hundred times in a row)
2. Blink 182 - Dammit (a genre benchmark)
3. American Hi-Fi - Flavour of the Weak (best chorus ever?)
4. New Found Glory - My Friend's Over You (so so so amazing)
5. Brand New - Okay, I Believe You (when it drops OH GOOD LORD when it drops)
6. The Offspring - Staring at the Sun (best song ever for speeding down the motorway too)
7. The Get Up Kids - Don't Hate Me (this whole list could just be GUK songs)
8. Reel Big Fish - Beer ( I love it, the last chrous is so good)
9. The Descendents - Hope (the template for the whole genre)
10. Piebald - American Hearts (because HEY! YOU'RE PART OF IT!)

A couple more classics:

The Movielife - Hand Grenade: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MwCIXadLDE

Midtown - Become What You Hate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcF-b0srD3c

Did anyone else go to the 'Movielife' show with Vinnie at The Peel a couple of years back when Gabe turned up and played Become What You Hate? I met them both at New Slang after and did a shot with Gabe, he gave me a huge hug as well. My 15-year-old self would've probably died if that'd happened at the time.

You Do Something To Me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk8K48kd0kc

I still put on this album from time to time, it was the first 'proper' album I ever got alongside Green Day's 'Warning'. And these guys were way ahead of Busted/McFly, were genuinely pretty good as well and not childish and manufactured (although McFly did have some pretty awesome stuff at some points, like this for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDO-X9im7m8).

This album sadly started the trend for shit bands like ADTR blending hardcore and pop-punk in a really obvious way (rather than, say, NFG) but holy shit did BNO get it right. Make Yourself Sick and Trainwreck are incredible records.
