    I don't think I've heard any in their entirety.
    I like Alesana's cover of What Goes Around and the Toxic cover.
    Other than that I don't care much.

    Punk goes Pop vol.4 is my favourite, I really like the song "Last Friday Night" and I have for quite a while. Might give the other volumes a listen now though!

    I like some Punk Goes... but there are others that I can't really stand. I really like most Punk Goes Pops (with the others being kind of meh), my favorite being the Bad Romance character (that french THAT FRENCH PART MMM) but I don't really like Punk Goes 90's... I just think it isn't my thing and I don't think the covers are that strong.

    I can agree with the covers not being that strong on the 90's. They are either exact copies or so far off base that they don't seem to flow right. Its like they just kinda half assed it to make some money.

    THIS. THIS SONG. AHHH. It's my guilty pleasure.

    Also, this:


    Also very good.

    I'm against the principles of the whole metalcore movement and the whole basterdization of punk and emo by Warped Tour bands....buuuuut the more I listen to metalcore, the more I'm slowly starting to like it.

    I don't listen to much punk goes. But around Christmas I do listen to those playlists on YouTube. I mean some are still generic Christmas songs but some have a unique twist.

    Haha, I agree with you on both statements. Its a song that should be hated but its awesomely done. You can't knock it.

    And metalcore is getting increasingly generic, its getting turned in to a cash cow by the record companies and more and more music is getting released and it all sounds the same. Its like what started happening to rap music years ago, but on a smaller scale. And kids keep listening to it and buying it up anyway.

    Yet I still find myself listening to a few metalcore bands anyway, despite the fact that I feel like I should know better. Lol. I just don't worry about it anymore.

    and

    We came as Romans - Glad you came :


    I'm sorry but these versions are so amazing xD
    I love '' Punk Goes '' , and most of the songs are just really good to listen to.
    Maybe not '' better '' than the originals songs behind but very good.

    I haven't actually listened to any of these Punk Goes Pop albums in full, but I've heard a few songs from them.

    My favourites are;

    A Day to Remember - Cable Car (Over My Head)
    Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! - We R Who We R
    A Skylit Drive - Love the Way You Lie
    I See Stars - Till the World Ends

    They're surprisingly good considering I hate the original songs and who sings them, but I think I'm sort of biased since these are being covered by some of my favourite bands.
