I liked them, never took em as too serious of a band but then again I don't really think they did either.
There is a lot of bandwagon hostility against em, but then again I've never really thought the majority of AT had very good taste in music anywhom. METALLICA!!! gimme a break
:beer:
For the record the last great album Metallica released was probably Master of Puppets. Yes yes, 91's "black" album was good but I think MoP is still the last great one.
Sabbath/Ozzy > Metallica
Okay, I still think ALL Metallica (hell all metal in general) sucks ass, but that is way off topic. I just find it odd that people slam Blink 182 and yet listen to sh!t like that.
Apparently you have bad taste in music. There's a lot of good metal. A lot of crap, too, but that's the way everything is.

i liked them but i don't see why everyone seems to despise them
their popularity peaked about 3-4 years ago
they don't make the news often
the have still had a few singles within the last two years but none of them got any insane play
they never claimed to be writing profound music
i guess its cool to like something when it is not that popular and hate more than anything when it does become popular but i guess that is true of alot of things

I hate it b/c they're a bunch of no talent assclowns who play 3 power chords every song and pass it off as music. Their only talent in the band was Travis Barker who is pretty good at the drums.
I don't see why anyone gets excited about any band calling it quits - no one forces you to listen to them. Some people really loved Blink, some couldn't stand them, and some just followed the crowd and started calling them sell-outs when that became the cool thing to do. Kinda like what happened to Green Day - everyone went through their 'Green Day sucks' phase when it became cool to hate them. Difference is that Green Day stayed together through it, and it looks like Blink won't.
Some people hate Metallica, others worship them... some think guys like Toby Keith are ignorant rednecks, some think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread... the list goes on. People should just learn to respect that not everyone has the same tastes, and thats why choice is such a beautiful thing. Personally, I've found something worthwhile in about every genre under the sun. It's amazing how keeping an open mind will help you discover new things...
That aside, anyone who claims that Blink was just a product of the industry or anything like that is just ignorant. There are very few rock-related bands that are slapped together like a boy band. There are definitely some 'me too!' bands out there who just copy the style of a break-through artist, but Blink was not one of them. If you went back and listened through their catalogue, you can hear them evolve as a band, and they definitely have some unique qualities.
These guys were not one-hit wonders... their most popular song might have been Dammit, but their were tons of other good (if not better) songs on their albums. Kinda (again) like Metallica... EVERYBODY knows Enter Sandman. But everybody also knows that wasn't their best song.
Oh, and MichaelD - maybe you should refrain from posting about things you know absolutely nothing about. That was probably the most retarded statement I've read in quite some time, especially coming from someone who had impressed me as someone who usually has something pertinant to contribute. And I read a LOT of retarded statements.
Anyway, enough ranting... I was obviously a Blink fan. I'm glad they're calling it quits, though, because it sounds like they're doing it for the right reasons - to spend time with their families and loved ones. I respect that - they could continue touring and putting out records and making money, but instead of being greedy they're choosing to be with the people they care about.

Damn, I remember listening to their music when I was younger. There were awesome songs where you could sing along to just for the hell of it
Sucks to see them go
