Top 100 Pop-Punk Songs of Modern Rock
As one of the most popular and yet oldest lists on the site, this one definitely needed an update. I went ahead and extend the list to 100 songs as there were plenty of deserving tracks that I had to leave off in the past. In order to qualify, a song must be made after 1994's groundbreaking duo, Dookie and Smash. I decided to also include a few songs by more indie bands that some of you may not recognize (Les Savy Fav, Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, Wavves, the Thermals and a few others). If you are a fan of punk rock, these are absolutely must adds to your collection.

First of all, everything starting with Dookie was commercial. If you listen to real punk rock you would know that. To further emphasize your vast knowledge on punk rock you have also called Third Eye Blind a punk band. Button up, bro.
