Pop Punk has been my musical love since the year 2001 when I heard the song Seasons by Good Charlotte. I had known about Blink-182, but while I enjoyed All The Small Things I was a little wrapped up in 90s pop rock and alternative and so didn't pay too much mind. I'm not sure why Good Charlotte was the band that kicked it off, but since then I've gone headfirst into the genre and haven't returned. Blink is one of my favorite bands now, and while my tastes don't always align with the general consensus I still am a big fan. Through two lineup changes, theyv'e stayed releasing quality tracks even despite the departure of Tom.

Best Starting Point:
Enema of the State is the best launching point for this band. It's a classic, kicking off with the fantastic Dumpweed riff and leading from banger to banger. While still showcasing the sense of humor in the band, it shows some maturity with tracks like Adam's Song. It showcases a good split between Tom and Mark's styles, with them sharing the microphone in almost equal measure. Overall, it's a great demonstration of everything that makes them a great band.
