Blink 182-Small Things
Jimmy Eat World-Middle

I think its more nostalgia (these two songs remind me of high school) that keeps these songs in my collection, and less them being a guilty pleasure.

"Goat" by The Jesus Lizard remains a favorite.
Iggy Pop live on King Biscuit Flour Hour is another!
Group Sounds from Rocket from the Crypt and Understand by Naked Raygun

Clarity was my favorite album when I went through my soft-music phase. Bleed American is pretty good. Futures is just eh.

On topic...
There's Anberlin, The Ataris (pre-2003), Copeland, Mae, Spitalfield. Ahh, the pleasures of being a teenager..

I like Goat a lot too, although I am not sure I would classify that as pop punk. More like noise punk or some variation on hardcore.

For myself, Saosin has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure. I listened to the black EP they made for a while and liked it, but then heard some of their full length and realized that it truly was pop punk and that I should be hiding the CD behind my These Arms Are Snakes and Playing Enemy stuff.

I won't call my enjoyment of pop punk a guilty pleasure, because it's just a form of music like any other. Nothing inferior or superior about it. Anyway, there are quite a few pop punk bands I like. Green Day's probably my favorite. Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American has some fantastic songs in the first half. My Chemical Romances newest album is quite good, too. You might be thinking "ewww, an MCR fan," but they're head and shoulders above almost every popular rock group at the moment. Plus, a heavy Queen influence in some songs, so that can't be all bad.

I listen to some of it. Although putting 'Say Anything' in the same list as the other bands you listed is tragic.

Exact same for me

much more for for nostalgia than anything else as well.

 

[Anarchy965]

Guilty indeed:
MCR's "Astro Zombies" is a very catchy song to say the least.
Some people call Goldfinger pop-punk and they're one of my favorite bands.
Green Day's "Dookie" will always be one of my favorite albums no matter how sick I get of hearing it.
I enjoy listening to American Idiot even if it is so different from their other stuff, but only take it for what it is: A punk opera.

Does Billy Talent count?

I listen to a LOT of different music and lot of it of it in this category, and he is one of the best vocalist I have heard (in this category).

 

[Bootleg]

a buddy of mine has a half drunk bottle of water that once belonged to Henry Rollins...howz that for guilty?

 

[That dude]

Some bands that I love include:

A day at the fair
Alkaline Trio
Bowling For Soup
New found glory
Saves the day
The starting line
The new amsterdams
Nightmare Of You

Great bands, but unfortunatly it's really hard to get these CDs over here, even if I manage to track them down, they're around $20+ a pop, I bought the Motion City Soundtrack's Commit this to memory for around $22. That's daylight robbery.

But XTC has never been punk. They deliberately tried not to sound punk.

I still put on the Sex Pistols on occasion but not very often.

 

[louilouinovo]

The ramones
The Clash
Television Personalities

I don't feel guilty at all

 

[TheAnomaly]

anything from the 70s cannot be pop-punk.

 

[milkweg]

I guess pop-punk refers to this new pseudo punk we have now days. I don't like any of that stuff much. Punk to me is the real thing or nothing. Pop-punk is punk for girly-men.
