Option color = The discography for the Smoking Popes, a pop punk band from Lake in the Hills, Illinois, consists of four studio albums, a compilation album, two live albums, four extended plays (EPs), and seven singles. The Smoking Popes was founded in 1991 by Mike Felumlee (drums) and brothers Matt (bass guitar), Eli (guitar), and Josh Caterer (guitar, vocals). After releasing three independent EPs, the group signed with local punk rock record label Johann's Face Records. Johann's Face issued a fourth EP and the Popes' first two studio albums—"Get Fired" and "Born to Quit".

EMI subsidiary Capitol Records signed the band and re-released "Born to Quit" in 1995, yielding a minor hit on punk rock radio stations with "Need You Around".citenews|last=Kot|first=Greg|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/thesmokingpopes/albums/album/239881/review/5943882/born_to_quit|title=The Smoking Popes: Born to Quit (review)|publisher="Rolling Stone"|date=1995-08-24|accessdate=2008-05-02] The Smoking Popes released their third album through Capitol in 1997 and broke up the following year.
