Weekend Song – Blink-182

June 21, 2008

Of all the bands with numbers in their names, Blink-182 are probably my favourite.

They generally don’t add up to much anyway (arf): Sham 69, Fun Boy Three, the Guilford Four, Shed Seven, Sum 41, Haircut 100, Thousand Yard Stare, right up to 10,000 Maniacs and simply 5 (or 5ive) who took a minimalist approach to the trend started by Fives Maroon, Jackson and Ben Folds.

Plus, they are the only ones with a dash in their name. Blink-182. Like Spider-Man.

I like the catchy angst of this song, and the drumming is amazing. And there’s a middle bit with the same chords as The Police’s So Lonely or Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry.

Get ready for action!

Listen: Feeling This

Not a big fan of U2? Or more of a fan of the name Blink-182?

I would’ve added 311 to the list, though unsure if you’ve ever heard of.
