I don't know if this meant you were in?I could probably play, but I don't know that I know enough about punk (especially old punk) to be good at this. I'd draft a lot of garbage pop punk from the mid-00s though.
Wow, first pick. I wasn't totally ready and am just drafting on the fly. I have to go with a band that was totally written off as juvenile and disposable but now with perspective we see was one the most influential and enduring bands of the era:
1.01 Dammit by Blink 182

Happens to work out with Herb at the bottom as requested and @Ilov80s who is raring to go at the top to kick things off.
Yeah, I love it. I think there will be quite a divide here in terms of pop-punk and where it falls in, but I'll definitely be taking a few in this vein.Wow, first pick.

I feel like Tony Mandarich was just drafted. Sorry to offend your sensibilitiesAAAAND WE'RE OFF! LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, TODAY WE WILL FIND OUT WHO IS PUNKASFUKKKKKKKKK AND WHO IS JUST A LAME POSEUR!!!!

Not offended. Just having some fun.I feel like Tony Mandarich was just drafted. Sorry to offend your sensibilities
I think it depends what era it's from...? Are you in this thing? ?Does Against Me! count as female punk?
ETA: :regularunsure: :justunsure:
The opposite of Mandarich. Mandarich was viewed as a sure thing, once in a generation player. In retrospect we know he was a huge bust. Blink is Antonio Brown. Late round pick thatt turned into a Hall of Famer.I feel like Tony Mandarich was just drafted. Sorry to offend your sensibilities
Blink 182 isn't within 100 miles of East Lansing or Mt. PleasantThe opposite of Mandarich. Mandarich was viewed as a sure thing, once in a generation player. In retrospect we know he was a huge bust. Blink is Antonio Brown. Late round pick thatt turned into a Hall of Famer.
No, I am just here to instigate and knife fight people who don't draft Jeff Rosenstock.I think it depends what era it's from...? Are you in this thing? ?
Cuz it was?I saw Blink the first time they played in NY when they opened up for Fear at Irving Plaza. There were about 10 of us who knew any of their songs. We didnt even stick around for Fear. My buddy chatted up their manager Rick Devoe who got us into a couple of Unwritten Law shows a little later.
Man, that seems like a million years ago.
Are we really concerned about draft positioning and spotlighting in this thingCuz it was?
Also, mentioning Fear in the middle of the draft seems like a bit of a faux pas. Dont be that guy.
No, of course not. Just playing.Are we really concerned about draft positioning and spotlighting in this thing
What is your take on Blink? I knew it would be decisive. There does seem to be a generational gap with them where people say 40 and over tend to not like them and people under 40 tend to think they were one of the best things going in late 90s music.Oh boy, this got ugly quickfast. Knew it would. Punk!
There is nothing more punk than arguing on the internet.Oh boy, this got ugly quickfast. Knew it would. Punk!
You right about Mandarich. As far as Steelers receivers go , blink’s ceiling is Plaxico and floor is Markus Wheaton . Antonio, I say nay nayThe opposite of Mandarich.

Honestly, I have no real quality opinion on them. I'm inclined not to like them for their TRL status, but am also a big fan of Blink-182's eponymous album. So there's that. I'm just ambivalent, that's all. I like Blink-182, frankly. It's not a 1.01 pick, but you did okay with Saquon, so I'll cede.What is your take on Blink? I knew it would be decisive.

Blink is fine. Their Cheshire cat and Dude Ranch albums are just as punk as any of those other bands in so cal at the time. No spotlightingWhat is your take on Blink? I knew it would be decisive.

I think you underestimate the influence Blink had on emo, pop punk and even now modern rap. That new Lil Peep/XXX song sounds straight off the self titled Blink album. Plus how many punk bands had two legitimately good song writers and singers (#### how many even had 1?)? How many punk bands knew how to do harmonies and understood melody? How many punk bands developed into the kind artistic level that the self titled album reached?You right about Mandarich.

Yep. That's what I'm doing.Draft what you like, I am. People can hit skip.

Yeah, I am not second guessing myself. I love Blink- was just curious.Blink is fine. Their Cheshire cat and Dude Ranch albums are just as punk as any of those other bands in so cal at the time. No spotlighting
They blew up. People like to say they are not this or that when they did
I always think about Jason Newsted at times like these. When asked if Metallica sold out, he said yup. We sold out every arena we played in.

Being in high school during that late 90s TRL era, Blink 182 was awesome because they were one of the few artists that a teen boy could enjoy on MTV. Move aside Enrique and Backstreet Boys, Blink 182 was on and they were irreverent. It was perfect for a high school boy. That was the end of the MTV era- after Youtube would take over and MTV would move out of the music business.Honestly, I have no real quality opinion on them.

I’ll admit being a geezer probably plays into my thoughts about blink but to answer your questions above , a whole #### load. Plus how many punk bands had two legitimately good song writers and singers (#### how many even had 1?)? How many punk bands knew how to do harmonies and understood melody?
Way to go, you just made all the real punk rockers’ heads explode. The blood is on your hands.I’ll admit being a geezer probably plays into my thoughts about blink but to answer your questions above , a whole #### load
I never got the sellout part for bands. Isn’t that he goal to make $$. If it isn’t they’re doing it wrong.Blink headlined Warped in 2001ish. We were watching the Vandals I think when they mentioned Blink as the headliner and the crowd booed. Then we got scolded by the lead singer. I get the whole sellout argument but its bs. More power to em for making money. Downside is that something that felt like it just belonged to you now suddenly belongs to everyone.
Planning on drafting a song about this, actually.
