I know not everyone on this site is a fan of pop punk, but for those of you who are, what are some of your favorite Pop Punk albums?
For Me (Some of these are not 100% pop punk):
American Idiot - Green Day
The Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy _________________ Nothing really matters, anyone can see, nothing really matters, nothing really matters to me.
Dead Kennedys Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is the greatest of all time if it qualifies. It's certainly influenced by Surf Punk/Rock and is one of the catchiest/most infectious albums of all time, but it might be too close to the hardcore end of things to truly count. Major influence on Green Day though (but far far superior). _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings

The only punk pop album I've found so far that I like is The Buzzcocks' Singles Going Steady. It's a compilation, but most of the songs were only on singles.
Man talk about the boring crowd coming in and trying to talk about shit bands like kennedys and buzzcocks.
Besides the major ones like blink, green day, taking back sunday, fallout boy, jimmy eat world, etc.,
I think the best groups are the following (in no order whatsoever:
Saves the Day
Say anything
The thermals
Gatsbys american dream
Iron chic
The Get Up Kids
Latterman
The Bouncing Souls
Alkaline Trio
Motion city soundtrack
Vulgaires Machins
Other greats include (some of them borderline/arguable) but not limited to....
Underwater Moonlight - Soft Boys (1980)
White Soul - Green (1989)
Let It Be - Replacements (1984)
Surfer Rosa - Pixies (1988)
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (1983)
Tim - Replacements (1985)
White Music – XTC (1977)
Doolittle - Pixies (1989)
Rocket to Russia - Ramones (1977)
Slanted and Enchanted - Pavement (1992)
Crooked Rain Crooked Rain - Pavement (1993)
This Year's Model - Elvis Costello (1978)
Dookie - Green Day (1994)
Ramones - Ramones (1976)
My Aim is True - Elvis Costello (1977) _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings

While that is a valiant effort to connect a much better era of punk music (and I do agree it's catchy as all hell) i think that maybe these albums are a little more appropriate.
I particularly like Insomniac by Green Day. Other than that the pop punk of yesteryear is far better than the more recent stuff. But I guess it's all a matter of what you prefer. I'd say you can't go wrong with these ones here.
