Back in September, we presented the first in a pair of shows that were designed as a mini-defense of "classic" 1990s pop-punk - a genre that is justifiably much-maligned, though when you scratch the surface there's actually quite a bit of good music to be found underneath your Blink 182's and Offspring's and Sum 41's. We called the series Pop-Punk Ain't (All) Junk.
Here's the playlist for Part 2 of Pop-Punk Ain't (All) Junk, which was broadcast on Wednesday, December 17, 2014:
