A band from San Diego who used to be a great punk band with two great CDs, Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch. There latest cds have some awesome songs but overall its just too poppy. My personal favorites by them are Dammit and Adam's Song.

a band which used to be my utmost favorite and who i have fond memories rocking out to when i was young. i used to be all into their new stuff (enema, toypaj) until i bought the old stuff which i personally believe is better. it's not fair to say 'they suck now' with the new 'blink-182' album, cause i mean you just can't really say that about a band because it's only your opinion, which doesn't matter to anyone, but if you care, i think that they were better when they were more punk, before 'enema of the state'. any interested newer fans should maybe give 'buddha' a go..

A band that everyone spends time arguing about,.. constantly.
Truth is, Blink-182 is just a fun band. People run around saying that their songs are stupid, and that they ruined "punk" music. However, as far as i know, blink-182 has never called themselves "Punk" or anything in that range.
Also: "Punk is in the eye of the beholder" keep that in mind.
Personally, *I* wouldn't describe them as punk (early stuff, maybe), either way, it's still great.
Their music embodies the childhoods of children all over america, and parts of Peru.
Although their early music may be called "easy" or "skilless" alot of their songs actually have require a large pool of musical ability. Carousel (an early song, has a killer bass part that takes some definite skill) as well as 'Man overboard'- a later song.
Any song from the "enema of state" album onward has a definitly wicked drumming part.
As far as guitar goes, it might not be complicated, but it really does MAKE the song. Which is all that matters. And that's what makes Tom a GREAT guitarist.
They where almost sued for using the name "Blink" (that they had started under) So they where forced to change their name,
they chose:
Blink *182*.
No one really knows why they chose Blink-182,
but a common theory is because
that is the number of times Tony Montana said "FUCK!" in the movie Scarface.
