Green Day or Blink 182


Two of my favorite bands ever and I go back and forth on this constantly.

For me personally I think American Idiot is the best thing either band put out, but Dude Ranch is one of those albums from my younger days that will always be one of my favorites.

One thing blink has that Green Day does not is the contrasting sounds of Tom and Mark, both in their very different voices and the clear differences in their writing.

What do you bitches think?

I always felt American Idiot was overrated. I mean even before it people used to complain the Green Day was too "pop" to be considered a punk band and I always disagreed with them. Dookie is probably one of the best punk albums ever, however it always gets overshadowed by American Idiot. Case in point:

Green Day used to have Mike and Tre sing on their earlier stuff, and every time they did the songs were always different both vocally and musically from the stuff Billy sang. After American Idiot though the experimentation went away and everything just became generic.

I don't care what genre people put the band as, I just like their music and American Idiot from start to finish is an amazing album for me. I remember being in ninth grade when it came out and loving it the same as I do now, but now I understand it more.

They both sang on the other albums but billy was always the lead singer. Blink has always had two lead singers.

Well, except now I guess. But I don't consider them blink anymore.

I don't think American Idiot overshadowed the much better Dookie or Nimrod, and I don't think it was overrated either. Sure, American Idiot was super popular, but it deserved to be. It had a lot of great songs; AND it came out a decade after their last groundbreaking album, connecting with a whole new generation. You have to applaud that.

I'll disagree; I think Blink's self titled from 2003 is the best album from either band. But Dookie, Enema of the State, Pants and Jacket, and American Idiot are all really close

The Self Titled album is my favorite overall, from beginning to end, but my favorite song is probably Stay Together for The Kids from "Pants and Jacket" or Dammit from "Dude Rance"

Dammit has one of the best beats ever

Blink has some fantastic songs, but they have some really shitty songs too. Even the worst Green Day songs are just bland at worst.

I have a lot of nostalgia with both, but I think I have to go with Green Day.

Also I guess I like the self titled because it's harder / heavier than the other albums. I do enjoy the softer Blink sometimes, but I really love their harder stuff more, and the overall play from all 3 memebers showed best in that album

The first cd I ever had was Americana that I stole from my sister.

The first parental advisory cd I ever bought (that I got my mom to buy for me) was the gorillaz

Blink-182 is my favorite band of all time & I really dislike Green Day honestly, so this is an easy one for me.

How do you feel about new blink?

Im not a big fan. Without toms voice it just isnt blink to me.

I think I love Box Car Racer as much (or more) than most Blink as well. Except for Blink's self
Titled.

I do love Angels and Airves as well though.

I hate Green Day. "Whats my age again" however is one of those classic songs of a generation but most of the music wasn't my thing.

You're reading wrong.
