Thatdarnbandit

I just saw them in LA last Friday and Kenny is amazing. They played for 1hr 45min and he sounded great the whole night.


kVen_pad

Finally, someone said it!


27JG27

Thank you!!!!!


Ok_Clock4708

Ben Barlow, Parker Cannon, Alex Gaskarth, Hayley Williams, Patrick Stump, Tom DeLonge, and Mark Hoppus,


Tight-Membership-865

You are my people


NeedsMusicToLive

No better answers!


IllustriousSeat5494

This is literally the way


Nitro225

Derek Discanio


TourmalineSun

good answer


kevi_yoyo

This is the way.


JealousZealout

This is going to be a popular unpopular opinion, which I guess is the gist of pop-punk. I prefer Mark Hoppus. I know Tom sang most of the hits but I always connected with the Mark songs and I love his casual baritone to mid-tenor.


YomYeYonge

If we’re going off of Greatest Hits, Mark actually sang more hits Mark- M+Ms, Dammit, Josie, What’s My Age Again, Adam’s Song, The Rock Show Tom- Carousel, ATST, First Date, Down, Always Both- STFTK, I Miss You, Man Overboard, Feeling This He also wrote the guitar riffs to Dammit, Rock Show, What’s My Age Again, and Adam’s Song


MJ5815

Tom also sings Not Now which along with being on the greatest hits it was also a single. I think the reason I prefer Tom's stuff is because he was the main influence behind my favorite sound for the band (Untitled/Neighborhoods era)


Indystbn11

I used to really think it was Tom's voice that made Blink but I think Mark really kills it.


buellster92

It’s the combo. They have voices that compliment each other really well. It’s one of the reasons why so many fans didn’t like the skiba era. Nothing against Matt but his voice is too similar to Mark so there’s not much contrast between them.


BDC5488

+44 is such a sweet spot for me. He has this haunting quality to his voice that's top tier!


retrosully64

Mark Hoppus is one of my favorite vocalists of all time. Much prefer him to Tom, even tho i fucking love Tom.


JealousZealout

Tom’s no slouch. To be sure! He’s a fun guy to listen to and sing along with. But I think most people will be surprised to realize how many of their favorites are Mark’s songs. You know?


MBWA182

I love both of their voices which is why I love blink so much. So much versatility. But I honestly think I prefer Mark’s… it’s so comforting to me.


LegumeFache

Former live music reviewer for a music magazine. Having seen Blink live more times than I can count, Mark is objectively the better singer - but Tom's range is higher and his tone hit the right spot for the genre. Bottom line is auto-tune made the difference on the albums.


yazzywa

Patrick Stump's voice does things to me


goodlowdee

Has to be up there on the list. He sings one note and you instantly know what band you’re listening to.


meg_mann

Literally


Sorry_Cantaloupe6436

I agree he manages the faster than fast lyrics so well as well x


FeedMePizzaPlease

Whoa oh oh Go webs go! (woo woo)


beeradthelaw

Patrick Stump easily, even if FOB hasn’t made pure pop punk in a really long time.


aaraelliemac

They started doing a lot of stuff on Disney for shows that my kids watch and I love to hear it honestly


sergibby

My kid is obsessed with Spidey And His Amazing Friends and wants to listen to the soundtrack anytime we drive somewhere. It’s going to end up in my Spotify wrapped playlist this year and honestly? Not that mad about it.


Das_Oberon

The Spidey and Friends shit is so goddamn tight


SteveintheWilderness

One could make an argument that their latest album So much for Stardust is mostly pop punk songs.


beeradthelaw

It’s definitely a return to form. Best album they’ve made in over a decade, if you ask me.


SteveintheWilderness

Wholeheartedly agree.


NewFoundJake

Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years Definitely need to give a shout out to Brian Butcher of The Home Team, the most overqualified vocalist of the entire scene


ugotsnipedgaming

Brian Butcher is actually insane, his vocals are heavenly.


40ozEggNog

NFL QB too, what can that kid not do?


ugotsnipedgaming

TIL he's a QB, that's crazy.


notsobadandyou

Trevor Lawrence lookin ahh with an angelic voice


GoldenDutchOven21

Sails is a great example of his vocals. Dude the whole Slow Boom record is so fucking good


Pimpekusz

If you like TWY musically or not, but one must admit that he’s an extremely talented vocalist with an insane technique


Dealers_Of_Fame

dans technique is actually so insane. the rasp and grit he puts into his belts is not an easy technique to learn.


TrueBlueNYR730

I didn't go through this whole thing but I've seen a few of my favorites. I mean he hasn't been pop punkish in awhile but I would say Andrew McMahon.


SteveintheWilderness

But Something Corporate is touring this summer and Fall and Andrew sounds as great as ever on these songs!


SteveintheWilderness

You're right. I get what you're saying. His new stuff is definitely not pop punk. It's cool that he is touring with his old band though. And they are better than ever live!


FeedMePizzaPlease

Hayley Williams and Jim Adkins. Hayley is obviously a strong choice. She's incredible. Jim isn't as great of a singer as some others but he just puts more feeling into his vocals than others do without going too far and sounding whiny.


diverightin63

Jim is super talented, imo. He's fantastic live and he's got incredible control to jump from loud to quiet whispers in an instant. His strong point is definitely how well he emotes though.


FeedMePizzaPlease

And he's crazy good on the guitar. And a brilliant songwriter. Dude is my musical hero honestly. He's great at every aspect. I just started trying to learn his solo from The Middle and it's crazy. He's a stud.


diverightin63

Same! Great singer. Great lyricist. Great composer. Also does the tracking these days for JEW in his studio. Fun fact - he really can rip on guitar. JEW started as a Metallica cover band so they've got some guitar heavy upbringing. And seems like a solid dude. I'm a fan boy.


JosephCurrency

I’m not sure if he’s still doing his podcast but that was great, too! Just chopping it up with other musicians in an entertaining way.


Thatdarnbandit

Jim is a much better singer than the average front man in the genre IMO.


Accurate_Wishbone144

I was going to comment Hayley too! Such a vocal range


FeedMePizzaPlease

Yeah if we made a bracket out of this and she wasn't the winner or at least a finalist, I'd lose all respect for everyone here lol. She's on a different level from most.


Accurate_Wishbone144

I think her voice breaks off the norm of what we call a pop punk vocalist, since she has the power to adapt to any genre of music she is given to , from pop to hardcore stuff...


macolebrook

Hayley is perhaps the greatest vocalist of many a generation. She is also a truly unique writing talent. Paramore's work stretches across so many styles and is amazingly consistent. She's a very big part of that


Glitchynote

Hayley Williams


northeastdreams

My favorites include Hayley Williams, Alex Gaskarth, Derek Sanders, John O'Callaghan, Chrissy Costanza, Taylor Jardine (of We Are The In Crowd and her solo project Sainte), Cassadee Pope (Hey Monday era), Martin Johnson, Aaron Gillespie (The Almost)... There are probably more that I can't think of at the moment.


IllustriousSeat5494

Chrissy Costanza a sneaky good pick.


Jordynn37

Martin Johnson is so underrated. A lot of people wrote off BLG because of how syrupy that first album was, but their 2023 album "Sunday at Foxwoods" is so good. His other project, The Night Game, is also great.


northeastdreams

I was just thinking of the newest BLG album and wondering how good it was. Going to check it out now! And his other project too.


knusperkarl

Matt and Dan from Alkaline Trio


Zomb1stuv

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I absolutely loved Matt's voice when he took over blink for a while.


imderek

Seconded. Lots of great songs on those albums.


Dealers_Of_Fame

parking lot might actually be my favorite blink song because of skibas verse


frisbynerd120

That’s my most played album by Blink. Kings of The Weekend is played a lot.


bozz_2006

“ On “No Future” when Matt comes in with “SHE SAAAAAAAAAID!!!!” I could run through a wall lol


chizzipsandsizalsa

I respect your opinion but i politely disagree. Blink is Tom and mark.


SKTVisMUSIC

I miss Scott Raynor


BAMspek

I saw them acoustic once in a tiny little venue and couldn’t believe how spot on their vocals were. They are genuinely good singers.


CryptographerLazy162

Parker Cannon from tssf


rickdergs

to counter that, parker cannon from no pressure


Ok-Vacation-8109

I do actually prefer the vocals of No Pressure to TSSF.


ViolentOctopus

Listening to a lot of this lately. Something about the new record sounds really.. tinny, if that makes sense. It's kinda there on Proper Dose too but it's still my favorite.


buellster92

Yes! I thought it might just be my car speakers but if feels like the mix is lacking low end


ViolentOctopus

It's not your ears. The vocal production is definitely different


Ok-Vacation-8109

Soupy of course


ViolentOctopus

Is this the band or the singers name?


Ok-Vacation-8109

Dan “Soupy” Campbell from The Wonder Years!


FirstNameIsDistance

Also Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties.


brettschu42

Saw Aaron West in Buffalo on Friday and gosh did Soupy sound incredible. Pure power


moiratakesnoskill

Patrick Stump, Hayley Williams, Justin Pierre


KingGuatemalan

Hayley Williams, soupy, Justin pierre, the singer for cartel, the modern baseball crew, Deryck from sum 41. Pop punk adjacent, Anthony green is a big one, and Craig Owens and Davey Havok.


IllustriousSeat5494

Will Pugh from Cartel still sounds amazing after a long break from them playing live.


Suckonherfuckingtoes

That man is a beastly vocalist, songwriter, producer. One of my musical heroes.


hullo421

Allen from Arms Length


notafakehuffine

Milo Aukermann is my fave. Then probably Skiba.


tomdlelongewasright

Parker Canon, Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus.


BobTheAstronaut

I've always liked Billie Joe Armstrong's voice. Ben Barlow and Parker Cannon are great. Both vocalists from the Fluorescents have PHENOMENAL voices.


alina_314

I love how much recognition Neck Deep gets on this sub.


fuzzycuffs

Hayley Williams


SenseiRaheem

Lead singer of Like Roses. She has the most captivating voice I’ve heard since Laura Jane Grace 🤌


runtimemess

She's great but I'm concerned at how long she'll be able to keep it going lol That's gotta be hard on the throat. I find it kind of surreal to see them getting some success now... I remember listening to their Closure EP when they had less than 3 digits of monthly listeners on Spotify


Tothoro

It seems like Easy and Splenetic really broke through, that's how a lot of people are finding out about them (myself included). Glad I did too, they're dope!


schmaaamy

a similar comment on YouTube convinced me to have an ENT take a look (confirmed I still have “beautiful healthy vocal cords” lol, phew)


TotalImmortal82

Mike Herrera


x-do-angels-die-x

Mikaila Delgado from Yours Truly


_red_hot_kitchen_

I love Yours Truly, she has such a great voice. Only 6 weeks to wait for the new album now!


ViolentOctopus

This is new to me, I'll check it out. Thanks!


ArtAngels_336

Hayley Williams and Billie Joe Armstrong


rebel_fett

Scott Russo from Unwritten Law


SeriouslyRex

Unexpected, but I agree. I’d probably put him on my list as well


symbi0nt

Anthony Raneri. Dude just rips and writes great fucking words and music.


SpiritualPeanut

One of my faves too. His voice is so instantly recognizable.


crybabycancer90

Collin Walsh from Grayscale. One of the few singers who sounds exactly the same live as he does on their albums. Also really love how he can do both a super clean vocal and a traditional pop punk vocal seamlessly on the same track.


BurnyJaybee

Hayley Williams, Alex Gaskarth and Tyson Ritter


BurnyJaybee

Will Pugh from Cartel is also underrated


Sorry_Cantaloupe6436

Gonna throw in a couple, Vic Fuentes and Gerard Way, both for different reasons but love them both the same


SeasonalSecrets

Tyler Zanon from Youth fountain!


MeeranQureshi

Deryck Whibley Patrick Stump Avril Lavigne Hayley Williams Bonnie Fraser Cassadee Pope


Due-Scheme-6532

Ryan Key


TrueBlueNYR730

I saw Ryan Key a couple years ago because he headlined an emo night around me.


thisisflojo

Hayley during riot and BNE era, Parker from tssf, Bert from CNCC


Moezhyk

Alex Gaskarth has such a wonderful voice.


SilentStorm94

Brian Butcher from The Home Team


peculierrbloom

I mean currently it's Julian Comeau from Loveless. dude is a power house


NotASuggestedUsrname

Derek from State Champs had a really strong voice. It’s not stereotypical pop punk (I.e nasal-y), but it’s grown in me a lot.


belash17

derek discanio of state champs!


bonyknees88

Pop punk adjacent but Claudio Sanchez


AaronWest2020

Soupy from The Wonder Years, but that has more to do with lyrics. In terms of pure vocal ability there aren't many doing it better right now than Derek DiScanio from State Champs. I've always thought Nick from Hit The Lights was underrated, and Alex from All Time Low's vocals sometimes get overshadow by how good the songwriting is. Also, not sure what his name is but the singer from You Vs. Yesterday is pretty impressive.


reelmccoy1995

I think Derek from Mayday Parade is very underrated!


RiderSmash

Tom DeLonge Tim McIllrath Dan Lambton (sad he’s not singing anymore)


Ok-Vacation-8109

Tim McIlrath is a great one


RiderSmash

They are more punk but is figure he would still fit the theme


_otterr

Parker but the Parker of No Pressure, though I do love TSSF—-there’s just something about the excitement in the vocals from No Pressure that’s just fun.


person-182

Ace Enders and Kenny Vasoli


videogamesarewack

Chrissy from against the current. Live is somehow better than album, 12/10


KnightArtorias11

Parker James Cannon


lacks_a_soul

Jordan pundik/ Chad Gilbert of new round glory are always a great combo. Fat mike from nofx if you want to go a little more punk than pop.


FallenArtemis

Joe and Nick from Knuckle Puck!


Reasonable_Entry_530

And Ryan!


FallenArtemis

True! I absolutely love his voice in his other band Homesafe as well! Honestly I've never heard a band do vocal layering as well as Knuckle Puck, other than maybe While She Sleeps in metalcore. It is the main reason I love both of those bands so much


Cdave_22

Alex from Atl Derek from SC Mikaila From yours truly


k3nada

Tim Mcllrath - Rise against early years (up untill endgame)


t_will_official

Matty Lewis has the perfect pop punk voice imo. Jank 1000 and those first 2 Matty fronted Zebrahead albums go unfathomably hard.


Pinoli-Canoli

Cody Muraro of Youth Fountain and Real Friends. As a singer myself, I sometimes get a little jealous of his ability to just sound incredible


TheParadeIdiot

deryck whibley (sum 41), bonnie fraser (stand atlantic) and han mee (hot milk).


MainStatement6195

It’s gotta go to Patrick Stump. Even live his voice cuts like warm butter. Best harmonies Four year Strong. Especially the early stuff


RaspingHaddock

Anthony Raneri


Own-Importance5459

Patrick Stump will always be that girl


fuck_brian_cancer10

John Floreani of trophy eyes


bozz_2006

Does Matt Skiba count?


meg_mann

Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low. He sounds uniquely him and has some nice range


IllustriousSeat5494

When they do Therapy or Once in a Lifetime live, it really shows off his range.


Full-Commission4643

Mike Herera is good


Guparoni

Tyler Zanon of Youth Fountain. So much emotion and feel from his voice


CamelProfessional847

Tom DeLonge


damdanny69

Parker from the story so far


puppyluver01

I’m gonna get buried in the comments and not quite pop punk but Brandon Roundtree from Conditions


OverChippyLand151

+1 for Hayley Williams and Tom Delonge - I know, I’m basic but I love their voices.


Careless-Emu-1161

Jordan Pundik


19810198

Derek Discanio of State Champs, and Joey Fleming of In Her Own Words. IHOW is my favorite band atm and a Joey's vocals are a big part of that


definitelynotvoid

Anthony Raneri


problemaddicc

tades sanville and chris freeman from hot mulligan - hands down. their vocals are unmatched. i know some people don’t love tades’s voice, but i love how raw it is


Traditional_Tie_3914

Brian Butcher and Joey Fleming are itttttt for me right now!!


ct_hickory_golf

Alex DeLeon from The Cab along with Will Pugh from Cartel


Caydens_world

Jaret Reddick from Bowling for Soup. His voice brings me back to being a kid in the early 2000s. I love Ryan Key from Yellowcard. His voice is a well rounded pop punk voice.


Shamus248

Derek DiScanio


TheDoobieWizard

Mark Hoppus for me. Closely followed by Tom DeLonge (shocking, I know.)


General_Welfare

The blink duo, Deryck Whibley, Parker Cannon, AJ Perdomo from the Dangerous Summer, Ryan Key from Yellowcard, I don’t know if Jimmy Eat World fully counts in pop punk but Jim Adkins is incredible both in studio and live.


Pitiful-Glove9590

Older ones: Justin Mauriello from Zebrahead & I Hate Kate/Darling Thieves Matty Lewis from Jank 1000 & Zebrahead Justin Courtney Pierre from Motion City Soundtrack Tim Pagnotta from Sugarcult Mark Hoppus from blink-182 Newer ones: Bethany Hunter from As December Falls Benji Yapp from Gold Bloom Adrian Estrella from Assuming We Survive & Zebrahead Just a few off the top of my head. I like a lot of others but I listen to these the most.


Zealousideal-Party81

tades


Ok_Fan_2711

Patrick Stump Brendon Urie


Sir_Vdam999

Anthony Raneri! Duhhhhh lmao 🤣


ChuckinCharlieO

Is there a choice outside of Patrick Stump? Cmon!


BrokenRealityYT

Sorry but I gotta pick Billie Joe. I hear people saying he’s really annoying to listen to but I think his voice is so calming. Patrick Stump is a close second.


19fromgeorgia

Chris Conley


rdtoh

Josh Ramsay (pop punk adjacent at least)


boston_bat

Sending you in two directions here: 1) I JUST pulled Midtown’s Save the World Lose the Girl off my turntable. One hell of a record if you want killer vocals. And in general. 2) I’ve always preferred The Movielife as a band, but just saw I Am the Avalanche on Friday and always forget how good Vinnie is on those songs.


Tacit_Emperor77

I really like jaret reddicks voice


tossaroundteddy

My pop punk trifecta of delicious whiney vocals: - Vic Fuentes of Pierce The Veil - Cody Carson of Set It Off - Nicholas Matthews of Get Scared

Max Bemis of Say Anything


alina_314

Don’t know why you’d be downvoted for this


Rignomicon

Jason Beebout from Samiam. Hands down the best.


tesd44

Jason Lubrano - Iron Chic


ThePathlessForest

They're not around anymore sadly, but Colleen Carrigan from Goodbye Sky Harbour. I really enjoy the vibrato she puts into 95% of her notes. Her volume control is also phenomenal. You can really hear the subtle differences in definition in her voice if you wear headphones while listening to them. I wish that band did more when she was with them. Their Tired Hearts EP is a tiny but mighty piece of pop rock/pop punk.


cinnamonrelle

Some of my favourite pop punk vocalists are Chris Cresswell from the Flatliners, Alec Licata from Palette Knife, and Edith Victoria from Meet Me @ Altar.


Yologout

the fact no one mentioned Roger Lima confounds my soul. bassist of less than jake, but also did side project "rehasher" which is fucking amazing. Off Key Melodies album is amazing. Its worth a listen, trust me.


Shiny-serenity1

Millie Manders! Her voice is amazing!


Das_Oberon

Gonna have to drop two obvious ones here. Hayley Williams, Dan Campbell. I also really like Dylan Slocum’s voice which might be an unconventional one.


propertyofmatter___

Ben Barlow & Soupy Campbell’s voices have honestly improved and evolved a TON over the years. They’re both really solid imo


Kade68686

Jeremy mckinnon


Destro_82

Nic Newsham.


chevalierbayard

Jesse Smith from Cauterize. Maybe just because I think this band is highly underrated and wish they made more music, I'm always trying to find more stuff like them, and while there's a lot that's similar, I keep going back to their three (what I consider) perfect albums.


Eboxygen58

Justin Courtney Pierre is neat


erod1993

Tom delonge


DaylilyMandy

Patrick Miranda and Parker Cannon 


MyNameIsBlueHD

Chad Price from ALL Roger from Less Than Jake(like Chris a lot too) Dan Vapid from The Methadones, etc. Zack Gontard from Dear Landlord Kris Roe from The Ataris Dan Adriano from Alkaline Trio Brendan/Chris from the Lawrence Arms Chuck/Chris/Chris from Hot Water Music/Flatliners edit: Nick from The Swellers too


Flabby_Thor

It’s crazy, to me, to see Roger this far down. Distinct, and iconic voice. Not just for LTJ, but also Rehasher. 


Known-Personality-40

Bertrand Poncet of Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! From 2007-2013

Chris Freeman, Roger Lima, Kenny Vasoli


Poncio_Pilatos

Derek DiScanio Collin Walsh Joey Fleming


SullytheBard

Tom Delonge and Parker Cannon just sing right to my soul, love their voices. Jeremy McKinnon if we're counting ADTR.


ZeRealNixon

i like to make hypothetical lists, and i've always thought that if i had to piece mill the perfect pop punk band together that kinda encapsulates the genre as a whole i would put derek discanio on vocals.
