Blink 182 in general

Blink 182 have been one of my favourite bands for a very long time now and I have always felt very inspired by their music. Blink 182 are an American punk rock band and they were orignally formed by three members in 1992. These three members were Tom DeLonge (the vocalist and guitarist), Mark Hoppus (vocalist and basist) and Travis Barker (drummer). The band had a life of between 1992 to 2005 when a greatest hit album was released showing their break up due to changes in lifestyle and interests due to children etc. There has however, been new news released that has suggested that the band will once again continue which I was very happy to hear being a big ...  Read the complete review

Do you want to know what 182 means? Keep reading... The Band In General: My favorite band has to be Blink 182. They formed in 1993, and since then have had four recorded albums, one live album and two demo albums.

I am a huge Blink 182 fan, and have been listening to them since the days of Dude Ranch. Having got all of the albums on cd, as well as Flyswatter and all of the rare songs on mp3 (and demos of most of the Enema Of The State songs + Man Overboard) i think that i am quite a big fan. I have decided therefore to give a list, and details of my favourite Blink songs. I hope that you will enjoy it!!! TOUCHDOWN BOY : This song is one that you will love if you like funny songs. It is about American Football player who gets head from all the beautiful girls, in the locker room. And the bit somewhere near the end with the commentary from Mark and Tom is hilarious!!! ...  Read the complete review

Blink-182's fifth full-length studio album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, offers exactly what fans have come to expect from the SoCal punk-pop trio and nothing more. Growth? Nah. Progression? Not exactly. Maturity? Hell, no. "I'll never talk to you again, unless your dad will suck me off / I'll never talk to you again, unless your mom will touch my cock," sings bassist-vocalist Mark Hoppus on "Happy Holidays," one of many absolutely absurd, yet undeniably addictive tracks on Jacket. "Break a window and bust a wall / Making fun of your friend's mom / Turn the music up way too loud / Charge a pizza to the house," he ...  Read the complete review

Blink 182 were formed in 1992 by Tom DeLonge, a student in a Californian High School. He started the So-Cal pop punk band "Blink" (they had to change their name when they became commercial due to copyright infringements of some weird Irish band or something) with bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor (the band's youngest member). The band soon released their first album, "Buddha", which wasn't hugely successful, followed by the more popular "Cheshire Cat" (which spawned the relatively underground single "M & M's"), but it wasn't until their album "Dude Ranch" (1997) that the band got their big break ...  Read the complete review
