Blink 182 are a three piece punk rock band hailing from San Diego. They are: Mark Hoppus (Bass/Vocals), Tom DeLonge (Bass/Vocals) and Travis Landon Barker (Guitars/Vocals). Their style is hevily influenced by the likes of Nirvana and they are one of the bands that have provided a platform for more recent groups like Good Charlotte to break through into the industry.
Their greatest hits album comes out after an announcement that they are taking a break from recording indefinately. The tracks listed on the album are as follows:
1. Carousel 2. M & M's 3. Dammit 4. Josie 5. What's my age again? 6. All the small things 7. Adam's Song 8. Man Overboard 9. The Rock Show 10. First Date 11. Stay Together for the Kids 12. Feeling This 13. I Miss You 14. Down 15. Always 16. Not Now 17. Another Girl, Another Planet
There is also a bonus track - I won't be home for Christmas. Blink 182 are responsible for writing all the songs themselves bar Another Girl, Another Planet. Features of the CD are that all the lyrics are listed in the cover slip - which helps when you are belting the songs out!
I personally think that most of the songs on this album are classics but Blink 182 are one of those bands that you are either a fan of or you are not. They have a style of their own which is fun and refreshing and doesn't take itself at all seriously. Some would say immature but I personally thinnk that if you take the lyrics and songs at face value, you can find just as much to enjoy as you can in more 'serious' artists.
My personal faves off the album are I Miss You, Always, The Rock Show and First Date but there is plenty here for everyone to enjoy. I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys a pinch of humour with their rock, it's well worth the cheap price you can now pick it up for.

It's not a bad review but need a little more info.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think Tom was a bassist, he's the guitarist and Travis is the drummer
