20: Lookout! Records
I was a big fan of pop-punk growing up, and Berkeley, CA could be considered its birthplace. At the very least, some of the best bands came from the Bay Area. But even if a great pop-punk band wasn't from California (Screeching Weasel from Chicago, The Queers from New Hampshire) they often ended up on Lookout! Records.
Lookout! releases a lot more than just pop-punk, especially in more recent years (although I think they're in financial trouble...how did they mismanage money from Green Day's early releases?). But here are five songs by bands that come to my mind when I think of Lookout.
1. The Mr. T Experience - At Gilman Street
2. Green Day - Disappearing Boy
3. Operation Ivy - Here We Go Again
4. Tilt - One Day
5. The Queers - Another Girl
