Never cared for Paramore before that record, really liked Hard Times so gave it a spin and there's so much good shit on it. Fake Happy and Idle Worship are amazing. They haven't touched pop punk in years but that last album is brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 I’ve never really listened to Paramore aside from a few singles that didn’t really stand out to me. What’s a good album to start on? I don’t really like pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yeah I wouldn't nominate Paramore for this either, they haven't been close to pop punk in a very long time. But I still prefer them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 The 11th Hour is definitely pop punk. Ruby Soho too I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted March 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Yeah, I wouldn't have nominated either, personally, but like @twentytwenty said, it's an interesting match-up because they're about equally pop punk. Paramore is mostly pop and occasionally veers into pop punk territory (especially early on) and Rancid is punk and has a handful of pop punk songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 Listened to some Rancid last night. What a band. Even their throwaway songs kick ass. Yeah, they are mostly punk rock, but still more pop punk than say, Alkaline Trio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very different from their more current sound but it’s a good album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 4 hours ago, Feeling_This_1 said: Wait, people actually LIKE Paramores recent albums and factored that into their voting? Wow. Those albums absolutely suck and faded them into irrelevance. These are the same people who bash blink everyday, says a lot. Irrelevance? I think After Laughter was arguably their most successful and critically acclaimed album. Personally I never even paid attention to them until this album. "Upon release, After Laughter received critical acclaim from music critics, who praised the band's new sonic direction and the 1980s new wave and synth-pop sound on the album. A dozen publications featured the album in their year-end lists, including Billboard and Rolling Stone. In 2019, Pitchfork listed it at number 169 in their list of best albums of the decade."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Laughter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisa Posted March 11, 2021 Report Share Posted March 11, 2021 As far as the divide between "punk" and "pop punk" goes, Rancid were always the best of both worlds. Their choruses were catchy enough to get them on the radio, MTV, and SNL alongside poppier peers like Green Day, but they were also uncompromising enough to cross over into street punk, ska, reggae and hardcore. I don't know if I would go with this definition but it really makes sense for Rancid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Rancid are definitely pop punk. They're just more raw and punk sounding than the likes of ATL, Fall Out Boy, Panic, Paramore etc Doesn't mean they're not pop punk though. These two songs just have that classic 90's pop punk sound and are just as pop punk as songs like Dammit by blink and Basket Case by Green Day. Amazing songs too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
