It can. Don't listen to Nea.

Any list of greatest pop punk albums without Insomniac is incomplete

The Ramones are not pop-punk, omg, never have been, never will be. If I had to define them, they are straight ahead RnR, with some punk influences. A true punk band has short haircuts, and the Ramones obviously didn't qualify.

Kudos to the poster who posted a pic of Buzzcocks Singles Going Steady, now that brings back memories. I would label them pop-punk, not in the same way that Simple Plan is pop-punk, but definitely hard edge alternative music.

Americana by the Offsprings has to be the best pop punk album and it has a funny song called "pretty fly for a white guy".

Other great songs from that album included "The Kids Aren't Alright" and "Why Don't You Get A Job?".

Pop Punk is basically punk on the more accessible side.

Also, emo is not the same as Pop Punk, but some songs overlap obviously.

I'm the same I tried to deny it for years but I've let those pretensions go with my mid-20s.

How could you mention that album without mentioning "Pay The Man"?

Besides, that album as a whole isn't even in their top 3. "Why Don't You Get A Job" is a Beatles rip off. "Pretty Fly" is cheesy and annoying and began a trend of goofy singles that they'd produce in succeeding albums ("Original Prankster", "Hit That" [the worst one]). "She's Got Issues" has issues lyrically. "Walla Walla" is downright tedious.

As for their best albums, it's gotta be Smash and Ignition. Hell, even Conspiracy of One was a more well-rounded album than Americana was. Oh yeah, can't forget Ixnay on the Hombre - that's a better album too, and the singles are great on that one. The silly songs ("Mota", "Cool To Hate") work much better than any of the silly songs on Americana. I will admit though, "The Kids Arent Alright" is a great tune.

I've seen The Offspring live twice. They were pretty good both times but way too focused on the past - very singles focused live band. I'd love to hear "Dirty Magic" live, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

Never bothered with their discography but I still have nostalgia for Conspiracy of One after buying it as a kid. Those hooks are still razor sharp after all these years.
