Blink 182

[360degrees]

Ok, I am not just gonna sit here and let you guys drag Blink down...

Sure they have a strange urge to play songs about dogs but i have grown up listning to them and they have had an influence in my life... think about your teenage lives, think about girls, sex, think about drinking underage, think about drugs and other youth culture... now think about Blink 182, what are they singing about??? TEENAGE LIFE (mostly)

I will not defend the last album, it was an insult, it was a nasty way to end, sure it sold loads, but it attracted the Emo crowd, Miss You being the song people die to 2005...even this album had some good songs 'Go', 'Violence' and even 'Feeling This'...

Think about their career, their earlier albums... Cheshire Cat/Buddha;

Good Songs: Touchdown Boy, M&M's, 21 Days and Carousel...

Then came Dude Ranch, i mean this was in my opinion, their peak performance... Excellent songs and playabilty;

Good Songs: Dammit, Untitled, Voyeur and Dick Lips...

Scott Raynor left due to alcoholism and the band found Travis, even if you insult Blink, Tom and Mark, you CAN NOT insult Travis, he is an excellent drummer...

Travis's first album was Enema of the State, this in a way was a turning point for the band... The song i will remmeber this band for is All the Small Things, it is one of the songs kids love...

Good SOngs: All the Small Things, Whats my Age Again, Wendy Clear, Mutt and Anthem

Ok well, theres the MArk Tom and Travis Show, but im not saying anything, its completely brilliant... especailly Carousel and Dammit...

Well next came 'Take off Your Pants and Jacket' (GET IT :D), this album sold the most copies out of all their albums... and in theory it should, it appeals to everyone... Teenage angst guys - First Date, Emo's - Reckeless Abandon and more... travis was technically drumming to power chords for 2 years before this was released...

Good songs: Anthem 2, Rock Show, Reckless Abandon, First Date and basically every track except Happy Holidays (didnt like it)

AND FINALLY theres Blink 182 - Blink 182... sucked for the main part but as i said earlier... a couple of good songs...

Now loking back though older threads, Snaker, you were a HUGE fan, so was Jay and Craig... infact 1999-2002, you ALL were, how can you completely ditch your tastes...

IM JUST STICKING UP FOR A DECENT BAND...unlike Green Day who do suck...lol

Now that I think of it, Blink weren't actually that bad. There songs were good, and had good rhythm.

well ive always liked them. But why spend all that time typing all that out, then just as you finish rubbish greenday. That just contridicts your entire arguement, how people are being narrow minded, then you slate greenday. Who are in an indentical position to blink 182. so really your being a hypocrit

not really, i dont hate green day becasue of their music, i am (used to be) a huge fan of the music, but as people they act like they own the punk culture, at least Blink 182 didnt sell themselves to the media... now Green Day they have had good albums from kerplunk to International Superhits... Basket case is an anthem of Green Dasy career... they dont suck, i dont like what they have become... sell outs... who have become the medias puppets...

I love listening to old Blink albums, brings back a young and careless attitude into my head. I love it when that happens!(Cr@Zy)
