Blink-182: Greatest Hits | Green Day: International Superhits!

Green Day and Blink 182 are two of my fave bands, and they also sound similar. So I thought I would bug you guys by making you read this double post on both of 'em. So yeah, here we go.

Green Day was my first favorite band, and I guess that would be because of their overall catchiness, their melodies, and I guess I learned of them because of their fame back in '04 for American Idiot. But this album was before then. Before the controversy of American Idiot. Before they broke out to the top of the mainstream with the smash hit "Boulevard of Broken Dreams." Before they began selling out stadium venues to over 65,000 people per concert. No, these were the better times of their career, in my opinion. Back when punk-pop didn't have to be political and it was just fun. So yeah, if you wanna hear them in their prime, listen to songs like "Longview," and "Minority," and "Good Riddance." So yeah.

Blink-182 have had an up and down career, having both mainstream success and underground success that couldn't quite make it up to the mainstream. For instance, a few of their mainstream songs would be "Dammit," "All the Small Things," and "I Miss You," while some of their underground songs would be "M+Ms," "Feeling This," and "Not Now," but even if they aren't successful, you should check 'em out. Blink-182 to a long time to break out into the mainstream, so it's understandable if you've never even heard of these songs, but that's just adressing us Blink fans. So yeah, I recommend listening to "Dammit," "All the Small Things," "Adam's Song," and "I Miss You."

Basically, considering Melina and I are pretty much the only Blink-182 fans on this blog, and as far as I know, I'm the only fan of Green Day, I'll let you guys off easy saying you don't have to listen if you don't want to, 'cause it seems that whenever I post something like this, you never like it either, so yeah. Enjoy.
