Blink 182 is probably the only hated band that I actually enjoy.

I have:

Take Off Your Pants And Jacket
Enema Of The State
The Mark, Tom And Travis Show
Dude Ranch
Cheshire Cat

Don't have the Buddha album, but I don't know if I'll get around to that.

Why do I like 'em? Catchy, memorable tracks, irreverent, silly attitude, a 40 year old wouldn't listen to this crap so it asserts my youth. ;) I don't care how easy their music is to play, I don't play guitar. I listen to music that I enjoy and their music is enjoyable in a carefree sense.

Well since he's 7 foot 4 and his one nut is the size of a Granny Smith apple, she doesn't have any complaints.

they all failed out of highshcool so you cant blame them for sucking at writing lyrics.

You're watering down the word good. I'd say they're medicore. If you want good guitar, listen to Steve Vai, Jimi Hendrix, or John Petrucci.

They are the Judas Preist of this century, it's just a job, everything they sing about, everything they do on stage, it's an act, and when they go home they aren't what they were on stage or in the video ;) that makes it a pathetic joke, a mockery, a cash cow ;) Welcome to the stereo-typical formula band designed to sell albums not on talent, but on good focus group studies :disgust:

They all also happen to have whacked out hair color, pale white skin and jewelry meant to keep stray dogs in line. I do believe that music portrays ones character and emotion, and one only has to look at the people who listen to the stuff to know that the music is just plain f*cked up.

Wearing dog collars and tattered cloths, looking more motley than the rabid cat next door that came from nowhere and wont leave and striving to make my room look like an utter tenement?, is where I draw the line. ;)


You'd be surprised (then) that some people consider your posts the same way.

I like Adam's Song. Not so much for its musical or lyrical value (lol), but because it reminds me of the summer of 99 soo much.

Californication does the same thing, at least its better :)

I don't mind some of Blink's older stuff. People who call them punk are goofy though.

If you want real punk, listen to some AFI or Pennywise.

punk has many subgenres... i could say something like "pennywise? if you want punk, listen to bad brains" and it would be just as silly.

I don't see anything wrong with Blink, perhaps that is because I don't listen to overplayed radio stations or watch MTV. But, arn't they pop and not punk? I mean if you compare them against good punk, they arn't going to be able to hold their own.

And yes, there is such a thing as good punk music, people that trash all punk music are very ignorant of a genre. Like all genres it has its good and its bad and you have to know how to listen to it and what to expect. Punk songs are cool because they don't try to artificially inflate their song. If the song ends up being 50 seconds, then so be it, 50 second song here we come. I like that, very refreshing after listening to a 30 minute trance track or something similar.

Skoorb, I can't believe you'd rather listen to Backstreet Boys. Perhaps you havn't heard much of them, I will bring my sister's BSB cd collection to your house and force you to listen to them 24/7 and see whether you think they are better than Blink.

And why would anyone listen to the radio.... where you're guaranteed to hear utter crap 75% of the time?

thta is why i only listen to classic rock stations that mix in the better of the present day rock, (ie chili peppers, Jimmy eat world, staind, rob zombie, etc)

oh yea, blink does suck

Skoob, you have no idea what you're talking about.

They suck, yes, but they know it. If you've ever heard any of their live stuff you'd think a bit differently.

I take no offense, when you spout crap about something its bound to come back at you, to bad you let it get to you though.

I was KIDDING. . . . :D (I think that is what the ":D" is for.)

Although I am no great Blink fan, I have enjoyed their concerts. I was just making a point about musical "bigotry" and trashing a genre that you are really not familar with.
