Descendents - Somery.
Essential Descendents. If I was given two words to describe this album, then those would be it. As you may, or may not know, this record is a compiled cd of all of the Descendents greatest songs, while on the SST record label. It features some of the best music ever written and played by these guys, spanning the period of about 10 years. The Descendents were such an influential band, and the one and only band to truely play "pop-punk". Over their career they played everything, including they're hardcore style (Milo Goes To College), to their upbeat pop-punk style ( I don't wanna Grow Up). The Descendents will leave you wondering why you ever referred to NFG or Good Charlotte as pop-punk.
The cd contains 28 songs, most of which round out anywhere from 10 seconds, to 2 and half minutes. That's the beauty. A Descendents song never drags on too long, and always leaves the perfect mood once it's done. It makes sitting down and listening to this cd the whole way through an easy task. And believe me just one time won't be enough. With songs that deal with stuff like girls, coffee, parents, fishing, food, and more girls, you'll never get bored. The Descendents could write a song about a girl and actually make it a punk tune. This was an accomplishment at the time when they were surrounded by their hardcore peers like Black Flag, Husker Du, and Minor Threat.
So if you think you like "Pop-punk", then pick this up, and see where the style originated. I will say it a million times, but no one does it better than the Descendents. So throw away your teeny bopper, mtv, wanna-be punk cds like Simple Plan, and listen to one of the only bands worth being called "pop-punk". C&P.
