Hi my name is James
 

Hey everyone!

I just joined up here and saw that this is one of the recommended first steps to being a part of this community. I'm down with that.

A little of my background
I was much bigger into music in general when I was younger. These days I've kind of lost touch with whats what. In my younger years the following were pretty much all of the albums I ever bought.

A lot of the bands I liked are disbanded or have shifted their sound so much I don't care for it anymore. I sometimes feel like I would be better off stuck in an alternative universe where pop-punk and A Day to Remember still played on the radio. Hopefully I can expand my horizons and find some newer stuff to follow after getting involved here.

Looking forward to getting to know you guys/gals!

Hello hello to you too! That song makes me smile.

That little run that sounds like Boris the Spider irritates me.

nah everything about this song is perfect

Welcome James to the site :)

Not into much on your list but this right here is a monster album.

Thanks for the warm welcome! :)

I can definitely agree that lead sails paper anchor was a monster from start to finish. I'm not even all that crazy about a majority of this list anymore. I might wax nostalgic about them but you likely won't find me listening to any of them very often. Case and point: my most listened to tracks on Google play music lately are 4 bands I didn't list here. Crazy how my tastes have evolved. :)

Welcome to MB, Poppapunk :wavey:

One of us is certainly in an alternative universe: I haven't heard of - let alone heard - any of those albums you listed :(

Like one of the ultimate pop metal songs ever made.
