viviandnguyen
Midtown already covered The Outfield's Your Love on Punk Goes 80's...

SnowNightmare
Last I checked that isn't punk. Meh relative I guess.

DeniR
nevershoutnever with BOHEMIAN RHAPOSODY? i really really hope he doesn't ruin it.

gmonkey1655
never shot never should never cover queen. let alone one of the greatest rock songs ever.

mxfish1313
wow. This is pretty crap. Should call this "pop-punk goes the obvious, cliche classic rock route". I can't pass judgment on the covers, themselves, but this is pretty weak sauce. Whoever was picking the covers pretty much phoned it in.

markythrills
So stoked to hear The Almost doing Tom Petty.

sean823
this is disgraceful. only excited to hear the almost & envy on the coast

Coug
Not to beat a dead horse... but none of those are punk bands. But this is going to be horrible. There isn't one song on this list that isn't going to be butchered and blasphemed. They really need to stop these bullshit cover compilations before someone gets hurt... by me.

lbasketball46
nevershoutnever better not mess up queen!

a_rodhowe
This looks truly AWFUL.

sceneryispoetry
im excited to hear the songs on the cd! im glad that the cd has all my fav bands! :)

doriianxsaysz
dude! this one sounds so SICK ! ahh. can't wait.

mxgirl_016
instead of wasting the time to say how bad this is going to suck, get a life. I'm stoked to hear what BTF is gonna do. :)

misszombiekate
versaemerge eesshh paint it black has been covered already. i hope this doesnt suck

MistakesInOurDesign
1. Not punk 2. Wow this is gonna suck 3. I'm going to make my goal to be to not hear any of these covers cuz they will totally ruin the song

jeffkos2727
i cant wait fro the new cd to come out i love punk yah

seanr128
this is going to be insane. looks like this could be my favorite one. i like all of the bands this time. getting it the day it is out!

omgkris10rocks
Whoa man, excited for this one, i gotta say i have few favorites on the last punk goes but this one looks like a good bunch. so excited =]

emma1014
ACTUALLY, despite the fact that they AREN'T punk bands, The Maine's cover is really good. Yeah I don't think NSN should be covering Queen either...not going to be the greatest. But overall, I'm glad that Punk Goes is coming out with a new compilation :)

graceface
um...FOSHO!

Mifit5
I'm stoked!!! The cover art looks good... :]

richardradical
this is garbage. the line up for this bloooows... i was actually kind of pissed when i found out hit the lights would be playing. punk goes is completely dried out.

godmusic777
i think nevershoutnever is gonna kill bohemian rhapsody...but then again, my friend is their drummer...and hes good at drums...but then again...its a song known for the singing...yeah chris is gonna kill that song...

skaboy224
ok...so why do they call it PUNK goes classic rock? i don't see any punk bands on that list, i see only typical boring pop-punk and emo bands....

jlbassplayer
going to be EPIC.

kimimost
I'm actually really excited to hear this. If The Maine's Def Leppard cover is any indication, this compilation will be pretty fun. :)

mnt_dew06
i seriously exclaimed some form of "YES!" after each song. this is my music fused with my parents'. aka my past and present collide in one album.

skittlezcrazy
I already bought The Maine's cover of Pour Some Sugar On Me a while ago and it is amazing! I have to admit while I do like most of the bands on the list, I wouldn't really consider them PUNK. Maybe POP-PUNK but not punk. I am really excited to hear the rest of the songs though. Hopefully they are as good as The Maine's cover. n_n

kleokub
This CD looks amazing! Not only are the cover bands really popular, yet good bands, but the CD seems to be featuring some really amazing songs. I can't wait to get this, it seems unreal that a CD this good looks to be coming out!

poliwhirl4444
wheres four year strong? set your goals? a day to remember even? theyd at least do a decent job compared to freaking nevershoutnever? geez

jlbassplayer
NSN will probably butcher queen. i mean... hes an acoustic artist... how in the hell is he going to tackle such a huge song?

TomDaNinja
I like a lot of these bands, but this is not going to go well. You can't cover bands like Queen (unless you're in Wayne's World. Haha.) or the Stones. That's just asking for failure. No offense to these bands...well, some of them.

WoahxxEllie
too bad The Maine recorded that song forever ago. and not for this album either.
