Best music league playlist ever

Feared the worst for this one but there’s only one song I properly hate on there and it’s not even pop punk.

I hate pop punk so I’m glad this is a short playlist.

Most of these are made-up bands. Probably created by the Spotify algorithm. There are a couple of songs I know and like, probably because I wouldn’t consider them ā€œpop punkā€.

Not in the mood for it today so listening will have to wait.

Paulo13 absolutely dunking on the whole round by voting within an hour

Paulo13 has mentioned before he’ll skip past anything that he doesn’t like the sound of pretty quickly. Pop punk is quite a divisive genre, and these are short songs which likely give a good indication at the opening what’s coming for the next 3 minutes - there’s a good chance a lot of these songs wouldn’t make it past 15s if he’s not a fan of the genre.

So many bangers, so glad people covered my other considerations but amazed no one swooped in on my original pick

That certainly is a playlist

That’s the impression that I get.

My mate is a big pop punk guy, played in two different pop punk bands (not big ones), manages a band and hosts what seems to be a fairly successful pop punk podcast.

(I chose my own track for this round, as the points will likely show).

His review:

oh man

this has some stuff on!

and some stuff I haven’t heard of! Too bad I don’t have spotify

Yep, I did listen to at least part of every song, and anything noisier or punkier would have generally got a quick skip from me. I’d generally spend more time trying to see which songs I preferred more than others, but I’m not that keen on the genre so didn’t feel like I would gain much from doing that beyond finding ten songs I was happy enough to vote for!

@Icarus-Smicarus choice so clockable there haha

I could have told you this and I don’t have a pop punk podcast. I feel he owes you something more nuanced!

lots of new discoveries for me, hopefully people aren’t suffering too much through it!

If he was in the nuance business, he wouldn’t be running a pop punk podcast.

Plenty of playlosts made me suffer. This is far from it

And it even is polite enough to be short unlike some of the ā€˜other’ playlists of its kind

It’s definitely one of the playlists

Oh hey, I know this Mighty Mighty Bosstones song!
