My 2 favourite Blink 182 songs.
I liked them a lot up until the self-titled album, which I still consider their best. Have never heard their new though and haven’t got desire to do so. I think I just grew out of them.
The thing, as mentioned here above, which bothered me most, was their live performance. Especially when I saw them after the self-titled album. As that one seemed to have a more serious approach, I thought they’d at least try to reproduce the songs better live. None of that though. They also closed after an hour with a hardly recognizable Dammit. Nowhere near the 90 minutes mentioned here above as well.

I hope ''The Call Up'' doesn't qualify as ''guilty pleasure'' material because that song is the tops.
There's so much Clash to love, certainly "The Call Up" is right up there. I'm also a huge fan of "Stay Free", "This is England" and "The Magnificent Seven".
I think ''Dance the Night Away'' by Van Halen is pure pop perfection.
I absolutely love every Metallica album up to and including ''Garage Inc.''
I like pretty much every one of Def Leppard's and Aersomith's major radio hits.
I think Taylor Swift is a genius and I might be writing a book about her.
About a week ago I bought the first two Bush albums in a $1 bin at the local record store and I rocked out like a zit-faced adolescent when I played them. There is a lot of other now-maligned alternative rock from the '90's that I still think is great.
I really wish Rihanna would put out a greatest hits album because almost all of her hit singles have been masterpieces.
Lady Gaga's ''Alejandro,'' Sara Bareilles's ''Uncharted,'' and Fergie's ''Big Girls Don't Cry'' are all songs I have been known to jam out to in the car on occasion.
I used to listen to ''Astronomy'' while jumping around my room playing air guitar. I would pretend that I wrote the song and that all the girls in my class were stunned by my super-deep poetry.

Guilt? Nah.
I still rock out to early Bush once in a while. Hell, I saw them at HoB last year.

a few months back, i stopped off at a roadside bar and grill for lunch. the night before, sponge and spacehog had played a twin bill there, and i was sorta sad i'd missed it.
