Greatest Hits

Blink-182 weren't just one of the most effervescent punk bands of the '90s and early '00s—the California trio wrote some of the era's best pop songs, period. This comprehensive overview of their pre-2005 output explodes with sticky hooks and giddy melodies, never skimping on tire-skidding punk ("Dammit," "Josie") or vulnerable topics ("Stay Together for the Kids"). The lovestruck "All the Small Things" and meet-cute "The Rock Show" underscore that the group are jokers on the surface but hopeless romantics at heart.
