Blink 182 have realeased 6 albums actually but the sixth was a live album of greatest hits so that 1 will not be included.
Here we go.
1.Cheshire Cat
Blink 182: Tom Delonge (vocals, guitar); Mark Hoppus (vocals, bass); Scott Raynor (drums). Additional personnel: Matt Houts. Recorded at Westbeach Recorders, Hollywood, California. After releasing a number of 7' singles over the years, Blink 182 offers CHESHIRE CAT, its full-length album. The San Diego based group (that started out as El Cautro and the Caj'ones) has honed its playing, songwriting, and surfboarding skills to create a fun record for all. Punky and melodic, CHESHIRE CAT is a great party album. The pace rarely lets up and the songs don't wander too far stylistically, but nothing exceeds like excess! 'Does My Breath Smell?' is a funny tune of teenage ambivalence. Furiously fast, the song begs one to get up and move (and not care how you look). 'Cacophony' starts off with a slow bass line leading into a melodic intro. The pace then accelerates, with speedy riffs and crashing drums. 'Romeo and Rebecca' throws some slight changes and ska into the mix, while album closer 'Depends' has vocalist Tom Delonge unable to control his bladder. Blink-182 is a spirited group, coming up with hysterical lyrics and tight, well produced music. They are a skate and surf band who can really play, and this album should appeal to punk and hardcore fans.
2)Buddha
Blink 182 are one of only a handful of punk bands around today that stay true to the original spirit of the genre. 'Buddha' is 14 blistering tracks of raucous guitars and catchy melodies. The band's lyrics separate them from the crowd: instead of the usual tales of love and broken hearts, the band spit venomous rhyming couplets at anyone they choose. Anyone with a dog could find 'My Pet Sally' offensive, while fans of sportswear get picked on in 'Reebok Commercial'. Album highlight has to be 'Point of View', where the band set out their manifesto for world domination. If you share they belief that drugs and pornography should be free, you'll probably like these songs as well!!
3)Dude Ranch
Dude Ranch is possibly the best release buy Blink 182 since them forming way back in 1992. Mark Tom and Scott prove that you need not be the best writters, players or singers to make a hit record. Simple riffs and loads off feedback have gone together to make such hits as Dammit, argueably the best Blink 182 song to be released and Josie, a fast and furious track about a great girlfriend. Written when the band were in the prime of their punk lives this album is a great example fo some of the great So Cal punk avalible. Combined with grea toilet humour and one of the sickest secret tracks ever on an album this an esential to any Blink fan.
4)Enema of the State
The album launched Blink 182 into the limelight. 35 minutes of pure briliance! Mark, Tom and Travis are renowned for their outrageous lyrics these are the basis of the tracks such as Whats my age again, Mutt and the excellent all the small things. However, the boys show a more mature side in the amazing 'Dysentry Gary'. If you haven't purchsaed this album yet, WHY!! Buy now and look forward to owning one of the greatest albums of modern music. Who needs Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park etc BLINK 182 are the future of music as we know it
5)Take off your pants and Jacket
Some bands just never seem to grow up, and we’re pleased to tell you that Blink 182 have still got the naughty, rebelliousness streak in them that they’ve always been loved for. Along with the likes of Green Day and The Offspring, Blink 182 brought teenage punk-pop to the masses, with catchy hooks and choruses and cheeky schoolboy lyrics. But unlike some other punksters, this trio makes for nice eye candy for the laydees, too.
‘Teenage rules, they’re f**ked and boring’, the Blink cry on opener ‘Anthem Part Two’. Quite right, too. Elsewhere, there are tales of smut and lust, prom nights, rock shows, teenage angst…a melodic punk frenzy that’ll have you up and pogo-ing in no time.
‘Take Off Your Pants And Jacket’ is the perfect album for kids or for the kid in you.

Cheshire Cat is awesome. I'm listening to it at the monet actually.
Sittin' on a carousel,
here I am,
standing on my own,
not a motion from the telephone,
I know,
it's not a reason why,
just choose a reason to die,
Just you wait and see,
as you'll discover that,
that nothing is free...
Best song on that album by far.

Blinks best album has gotta be either Cheshire Cat or Enema of the State, both brilliant albums.

I didn't think it was awful but it wasn't the best they've done.
That reminds me, First Dates being released next.

I don't have any albumns but I have some songs on Mp3. Rock Show, What's My Age Again, All The Small Things and First Date, all classy songs. Did anyone else see the documentary of Blink 182 on MTV?
I love Blink 182 and have every single one of their albums. In my view Enema of the State is the best album, with Dude Ranch not far behind, followed by Take off your pants and jacket, then Cheshire Cat and then Buddha. The live albums great too :-D
