If you’re reading this you know that blink-182 is better than The Beatles, and no one can do what they do. But, across thirty-three years and five band members, how does their discography stack up?
I’ve tried to rank every song fairly, but personal preference has inevitably snuck in.
The most difficult part was balancing pre-Enema blink – which I love – with the Skiba era, because while I’m a huge fan of Skiba outside of blink, him, Mark and Travis never really gelled for me. Some of the Skiba songs are awesome, but to me, only a few actually feel like blink.
And, while I’ve included entire songs blink has covered, I haven’t included live cover snippets, like ‘Genie In A Bottle’, FYI.
Where songs appear in more than one format across albums, I’m referring to the latest recording, even though Buddha ‘Carousel’ > Cheshire Cat ‘Carousel’, for instance.
I haven’t included live versions, either, so ‘The Rock Show’ is the album version, not the Pepsi Smash version. Ditto, ‘Dammit’ is the Dude Ranch version, not the awesome The Mark, Tom and Travis Show one.
I’ve also dug deep into the blink demos. The tricky part was the Demo #2 tape, which Mark says is called 21 Days. There’s some discrepancy as to the actual titles of ‘Untitled #1’ and ‘Untitled #2’ from that tape, so I’ve called them ‘Nipples Of Fury / Every Time’ and ‘Lunch / Leave Me Alone’ respectively.
But anyway, fuck all that noise, from worst to best, here’s the list.
