Blink 182 has been a staple in my music obsession for sure. My friends band always played "Carousel" from "Cheshire Cat" for sound checks, loved that shit! "Dude Ranch" was on constant spin and when "Enema of the State" dropped, oh shit They had polished their sound and was a fantastic album! The time "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" came out, sad to say it but I stop listing to them. All the tweeny teeny boppers heads where exploding left and right and It felt like one of my favorite bands morphed to a boy band. Made me think that I should start touching other guys penises… When the self titled album came out I was secretly excited… Oh snap! Killer album! 8 years later Neighborhoods dropped and they still are killing it! They give me such a good feeling. One of my favorite side projects that Tom and Travice has done is "Box Car Racer" have you heard them? They only put out one album and it's great.
You have a great list of bands on your favs. I headed into Austin the end of Dec, to catch up with some friends and go to the Riverboat Gamblers, but things but fucked and didn't get to see them... Have yet to see them live...
