Guess this is akin to 'guilty pleasures' in a way.
Though I'm always one of the 1st here to throw in my 2 cents when people call bands like Green Day or Blink 182 "punk", I have to admit to actually liking a handful of tunes by certain acts.
I remember back around '94 or so when Green Day 1st hit it big, I *really* liked "When I Come Around". (though this was before people started calling them punk) Thought it was a great blend of a punk *inspired* sound & listener-friendly pop.
To my ears, they actually wrote a few tunes that had real balls. "Geek Stink Breath" is a damn good rocker.
"Warning" is one catchy as hell tune, though it's nearly note for note to The Kinks' "Picture Book". (go listen to em back to back & you'll see!)
A couple of summers back, I liked Good Charlotte's "Boys & Girls". THAT song, to me, had the Beach Boys written All over it. Just louder & more revved up.
Think of more as they come to me.
What're some of yours?
