WE went through this a while ago, most of the lyrics are just cliches reworded a bit to fit in a fairly meaningless song.

Naw, they are punk ROCK. Punk is those rubbish 80's bands who drone about politics, and the Sex Pistols. You can't confuse Sum41 and The Sex Pistols.

Some lyrics, especially on the latest and first albums are terrible, but the lyrics of "take a look around" are great and quite moralistic. "Life is a lesson, you learn it when you're through." Sure thing, chief.

Blink 182 and Sum41 pop-punk? I think not. I would think they are just punk, Blink being more punk than the other. Sum41 got me started on music, it was the first band I was into and really enjoyed. However, I started enjoying Blink more than Sum41, even though most songs are based on relationships. One I particularly like would have to be Adams Song, often played when I am feeling low. I like both, but have started recently listening to AFI and its songs like “Miseria Cantare” a really fulfilling one, in my opinion. There is no particular band I have as a favourite, I like a wide selection, with the likes of Nirvana, Green Day, Sum41, Blink 182, Goldfinger, Guns ’N’ Roses and Black Sabbath to name a but a few.

If, however you want a band that realy rock, check out Winnebago Deal. The future. Dirty hardcore rock 'n' roll.

Neither particularly interest me. Caught the end of Blinks set at Reading and it seemed pretty weedy (to be fair I was right near the back aftercoming from the Carling Stage...)

Both bands predominantly play pop-punk, and while I'm sure someone will tell me that if I bother to delve deeper into their catalogues they have more than simple pop-punk, neither band has given me much reason to... none of the songs I've heard by either have particularly motivated me to check them out further.

In my opinion, if you want pop-punk you can't go wrong with Green Day. Blink and Sum41 can't touch 'em.

Limp Bizkit may not be one hit wonders but they are terrible nonetheless. They do have some good backing music, as long as you can ignore the atrocious lyrics.

Well I suppose one hit would be pushing it a bit far.

Limp Bizkit are by no means 1-hit-wonders.
