Probably my favourite band. They've now released 5 albums. Chesire Cat, Buddha, Dude Ranch, Enema of the State and Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.

Their first album, Chesire Cat was probably their worst. The actual music was really good but the singing is appalling. The voices of Mark (Hoppus) and Tom (DeLonge) haven't developed yet.

Buddha - A great album, Mark and Tom's singing has come along quite a bit but it's still not perfect. Their are some great songs on here, Buddha itself is superb.

Dude Ranch - This was their best album yet (then?) Mark and Tom have perfected their voices and the singing and instruments go along perfectly. It's a great album and definitely worth buying if you ever see it (which I doubt you will) Songs to note - Dicklips, absolutely awesome song.

Enema Of the State - Undoubtadly their best album ever. They finally got rid of their drummer and brought in Travis Barker. This is definitely in my all time favourites, it's up there with the Manics and Linkin' Park. Travis mixes perfectly with Mark and Tom and they pull out some storming songs. Songs to note - Dumpweed, Aliens Exist, What's My Age Again? Dysentry Gary, Adam's Song, All the Small Things, The Party Song and Mutt. Prettyu much the whole album. There are no bad songs on this one but the one's above REALLY stand out. It's cheap, it's great GO GET IT!

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket - Released 10 days ago. It's good album, not great but definitely worth a listen. They're really starting to pull out great songs. There are probably 3 classics on this. Quite a few of the songs on here are jokey but there are some serious ones as well, like Anthem Part 2 and Stay Together For the Kids. Songs to note - Anthem Part 2, First Date, Rock Show, Stay Together For the Kids, Reckless Abandon, Give me One Good Reason, Shut Up, Please Take Me Home and What Went Wrong. For pure comedy value, number 16 is a great listen. A good album that is well worth your money.

Blink 182 are a great band and I love them. If you only get one of their albums though, make it Enema of the State becuase it truly is pure class. It's brimming with great songs, nice tunes and awesome lyrics. If you want something a little more melodic then go for Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. There are some really NICE songs in there. Either way you can't lose.

My girlfriend is really into em', I can't stand em' personally, but each to their own as I say.

I heard they're not all that live though, since they don't tune up before they play, they obviously think they're *too* punk.
