Dammit isn't their best song at all (no Barker yet), but it's the first song I remember hearing from them and it was 9th grade and the my "girlfriend" from 8th grade was now hanging out with the 11th graders and so it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I listened to that song on repeat.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.
Who doesnt sing Love Bites when it comes on Hair Nation. And I call BS to those who say they do notI just saw Ilov80s cheatsheet - he has Def Leppard ranked #2.
Dallas has some 1.01 bands, he just didn't pick one. Lay off.LOL, I just read the thread and saw the first pick.
Dude, you're a cool guy. Don't be like this.He asked me to pick for him.
1.02 Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe

presenting webinars = not punkSorry, had to present a webinar so had the forum shut down. I'll post 01.02 in just a moment.
I'd say my pick is actually, and I'm sure of it. Save it.I’ll say the next pick is the pivotal point in this draft
There's no cutoff.Well, I might have gone with Kick out the Jams but turns out it just misses the cutoff...so,
We could probably just do this draft with Bad Religion songsOh man, Bad Religion run
Ill share an Acer story about this when the time is right ??Well, when I think punk, the first thing that comes to mind is The Ramones. And I would say that the song that I hear is ...
1.04 - The Ramones, Blitzkrieg Bop, 1976
"most influential bands of the past 20 years,"He asked me to pick for him.
1.02 Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
You still make horrible pick. Arsehole."most influential bands of the past 20 years,"
"When it comes to having inestimable influence, Blink-182 might well be contemporary punk's version of the Beatles",
"ranked Blink the fourth of the "30 Most Influential Bands of the Past 30 Years," just behind Radiohead, Fugazi, and Nirvana"
"It's pretty simple: Blink-182 is the most important band of the '90s, **** jokes and all. Apart from the sound, Blink's ideology has been popularized […] their presence is everywhere."
"emerged as a touchstone, spawning more imitators than any American rock band since Nirvana."
Those are music critics but what do we know, I guess I made a horrendous pick
Also, I am just arguing in the good fun of the thread, not taking any of it personal
Poppycock. POPPYCOCK!!!It's pretty simple: Blink-182 is the most important band of the '90s,
Why do I feel like this is really Mike Damone. I dont feel that way quoting Bruce Dickinson. Feels like you got stiffed on some front row Blink tickets.Poppycock. POPPYCOCK!!!

The wonders don't care/we don't give a damnMy 90s punk knowledge centers a lot around bands that feature marine biologists and such as lead singers, so I'm going to largely leave that era to the people who were part of it and hopefully chip in with earlier stuff that I checked out retroactively and more modern stuff...
1.05 - The Adverts - One Chord Wonders (1978)

Nah, mang. As with most of these drafts these days, there are no grades. Just draft what what you think is appropriate. That's what I'll do. Carry on.so is this draft graded or something? is their scoring criteria, or what are the basic strategies here to draft well? pick songs before others would pick them? will be kind of funny if that is the case since a lot of punk is not mainstream. i am sure there will be some great picks not really recognized by all
never jumped in one of these so we can see where it goesNah, mang. As with most of these drafts these days, there are no grades. Just draft what what you think is appropriate. That's what I'll do. Carry on.
the music drafts at least have veered far away from those judging days, where we were all trying to get the objective best songs.so is this draft graded or something? is their scoring criteria, or what are the basic strategies here to draft well? pick songs before others would pick them? will be kind of funny if that is the case since a lot of punk is not mainstream. i am sure there will be some great picks not really recognized by all
