Punk goes Pop

[Cdn_Brdr]

I just found this compilation the other day... I think it's been out for a while but it really is a kick. A crap load of Top 40 pop stuff redone by punk artists. You should definitely check it out if you're a fan of punk...

1 - Dynamite Boy - I Want it That Way
2 - Slick Shoes - Candy
3 - Yellowcard - Everywhere
4 - Stretch Arm Strong - Get This Party Started
5 - Rufio - Like A Prayer
6 - Further Seems Forever - Bye Bye Bye
7 - Noise Ratchet - Crush
8 - Element 101 - I'm Like A Bird
9 - Knockout - Survivor
10 - The Starting Line - I'm Real
11 - Keepsake - The Way You Love Me
12 - Reach the Sky - Sometimes
13 - Fake ID - All or Nothing
14 - Showoff - Borderline
15 - Thrice - Send Me An Angel
16 - Nicotine - Hit Me Baby One More Time
17 - Student Rick - Heaven is A Place on Earth

There's also a Punk Goes Metal compilation and the highlight of that for me was AFI doing Guns N' Roses 'My Michelle' off of Appetite for Destruction.

Shit.
This album is out about 3 years too late.

'Punk' WENT pop awhile ago.

Although
Some kids I went to audio school with recorded a punk cover/remake called 'Hit me Baby from behind' that should really be on this compilation.

:)

Spare me the sob story..... there is still LOTS of underground punk and hardcore out there. Hardcore, Emocore, Metalcore, Metal, Punk, Emo, Black Metal, Death Metal.... any genre you can think of.

Reminds me of the attitude of people when their favorite band would get signed they'd be all 'Well I liked them before they were famous and now they sold out so I hate them' Give me a break!! They sold out because they're making money doing what they love? Bah....
