I’d still pick my friends over you.
Blink-182 – Enema of the State (1999)
Though released a year before the 00s got officially underway, this album had arguably the biggest impact on pop-punk for the decade to come. It inspired a generations of poop joke-obsessed middle schoolers to buy their first guitar, learn how to play "All the Small Things," and invent their own versions of guitarist's Tom DeLonge's trademark warble.
Choice Track: "What's My Age Again"

Fenix TX – Fenix TX (1999)
Fenix TX got their break into the mainstream by getting their single "All My Fault" prominently featured on the soundtrack for the MTV movie Jailbreak. It probably helped that their biggest fan, Blink 182's Mark Hoppus, went so far as to appear in the music video for the single to ensure the band got every ounce of his ringing endorsement. (Hoppus even managed them for a short time.)
Choice Track: "All My Fault"

Saves the Day – Through Being Cool (1999)
Heavily influenced by fellow New Jersey band Lifetime, Saves the Day released an instant pop-punk classic at the end of 1999. 16 years later, Through Being Cool stands the test of time.
Choice Track: "Holly Hox, Forget Me Nots"
Equal Vision
New Found Glory – New Found Glory (2000)
Self-proclaimed "easy-core" band New Found glory burst onto the pop-punk scene in a big way with their self-titled second full-length. The huge success of this album combined with Fenix TX's momentum propelled the bands' label, Drive-Thru Records, to the top of the pop-punk ladder for the better part of the 2000s. It also won NFG an opening spot on Blink-182's massive 2001 tour supporting Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
Choice Track: "Hit or Miss."
Drive-Thru
