As voted by Kerrang! Radio listeners
Last updated 9th May 2023
Following thousands of votes in recent weeks from Kerrang! Radio listeners, we’re pleased to reveal the 50 Greatest Pop Punk Songs of All Time.
As heard on air on Kerrang! Radio during our Bank Holiday Monday special, Paramore’s enduring 2007 anthem ‘Misery Business’ was crowned the Greatest Pop Punk Song ahead of blink-182’s ‘All the Small Things’ in second spot.
Despite missing out on the coveted Number 1, blink-182 were easily the most popular band in the countdown with eight songs inside the Top 50.
Green Day and Fall Out Boy were close behind with five songs apiece, The Offspring are represented by four tracks, while Paramore, Good Charlotte and Bowling for Soup all have three.
Testament to the pop punk explosion that happened shortly after the turn of the millennium, the 2000s is easily the most popular decade on the countdown with 40 of the 50 songs recorded in the noughties.
The rest of the list is made up of 10 songs from the 1990s.
