For the past few days, the British magazine Rock Sound has been slowly revealing the results of their recently featured online poll, which asked music fans to vote for the best pop-punk album. Over 26 000 people voted in and decided the final positions on the list, which has now revealed to us that the public voted not just one, but two Simple Plan albums amongst the 100 Best Pop-Punk Albums!
The best-standing of their albums on this list is their debut album ‘No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls’, which ranks at no. 31, surpassing other classics like Jimmy Eat World’s ‘Bleed American’, The All-American Rejects’ ‘Move Along’ or The Offspring’s ‘Americana’!
The second Simple Plan album featured on this list is their subsequent record ‘Still Not Getting Any..’ which ranked a little lower – at no. 67!
What a great result! It definitely serves as a reassurance that Simple Plan’s music is still very much deep-seated into the minds of music fans and has clearly made an impact on the industry.
Previously, Simple Plan’s No Pads album was featured on a list published by Kerrang back in 2015, where it placed as the 26th “Greatest Pop-Punk Album Ever”. Similarly in 2017, Rolling Stone called this album 33rd “Greatest Pop-Punk Album Of All Time”.
