Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1564

Dick Lips and Enthused are the best Tom Dude Ranch songs. But most of his main jams on there aren't very good, especially compared to Mark's songs.

It's hard to beat Dammit, Josie, Apple Shampoo, Lemmings, Waggy...

The ones they kinda go back and forth on like Pathetic and Emo also rule.

 

I wonder where Blink's career would've gone if they recorded Enema with Trombino rather than Finn.

 

Thinking of my Top 5 Tom songs really made me realize just how great Mark songs actually are haha. Pretty much every one of their biggest songs are Mark led and has their most identifiable guitar riffs. Dammit, WMAA, Adams Song, Rock Show....

Waggy is probably my favorite Mark song though. That or Online Songs.

 

Voyeur rules, AND I WISH more people shared that opinion.

 

Voyeur and all those early Tom songs when done on the Mark, Tom and Travis show are the best versions, imo.

 

Mark stated on Twitch today that he has heart problems. If you listen to the latest video on his channel at 12:43 and 13:45, you can hear his comments.

I hope it isn't anything too serious. :/

 

Jeez that's worrisome to hear. I hope everything's ok.
Also I have no idea what twitch is, this was my first time checking it out. But I thought it was really weird that Mark made a comment that "everything is NOT ok, I have a heart problem" and instead of showing comments of concern people were just writing "yeahhhh so anyway, do you wear air jordans???"

 

As someone with debilitating heart problems, I hope it isn’t anything too serious and Mark is able to live a healthy and comfortable life going forward.

 

The *only* song I skip on Dude Ranch is Degenerate. The rest are great. Boring is always fun!

 

Voyeur took a while but it eventually grew on me. Degenerate I still can't get through.

Lyrically that whole album has aged very poorly. Still my all time favorite though.

 

My dad took me to see Blink on the Mark, Tom, and Travis Show tour because he thought "Voyeur" was funny and he wanted to see it live, ha. Worked out for me!

 

TOYPAJ and NINE vibes sounds rad and exactly what I'd want from these guys. They already delivered some of those vibes on NINE, which I love. First Time, Pin The Grenade, Run Away, Darkside.....damn!

 

ok, before I catch up and forget...What's this about Mark Hoppus and heart issues?! @Jason Tate I'm so worried! :/

 

i think the slo mo stuff worked for him tho. this and do it for me now...well, they do it for me. haha!

edit: oh, i guess it was the real time dancing bit in The Adventure tho that I most dig. :D

i was about to agree with you just because i saw Always on top, but that last bit...*cat claws come out :P

i totally disagree. i have always been more drawn to Tom songs. I mean, yes, i'll give you Dammit and Adam's Song and i mean there are other good Mark ones, but I pick out more of Tom's, especially in the earlier albums... and like even Josie, I first liked cuz of Tom's parts in there haha!
And this is nothing to do with my crush...probably just another reason I always liked Tom. ;)

it's a good thing i wasn't there. i'd lose it on those losers. Poor Mark! I truly do hope it's nothing, but I won't feel good till i know he's ok. :'( So any news? and i can't access Twitch, so I can't even see how he expressed it! :/

 

This really awesome band, Hot Milk, is about to drop a song with Mark, it looks like.

 

It’s a remix. The song is very catchy.

 

Dude Ranch is the only proper Blink album where I think the Mark songs > the Tom Songs. Even then, Enthused and Untitled are both great.

 

Enema, too. Mark is way stronger there.

 

Nah. Enema might be the closest they came to achieving "balance." Going Away to College is the Mark highlight for sure. Still though I prefer the Tom tracks on there.

 

The only strong Tom song is ATST. The rest really don’t hold up. Anthem is alright, I guess.

 

Def more balanced but Going Away To College, Wendy Clear, Don't Leave Me, Adam's Song... It's easily Mark for me

 

Going Away to College, Wendy Clear, and Don’t Leave Me are 3 of the best songs on Enema, so I agree that Mark reigns supreme there.

Dumpweed and Dystentery are my favorite Tom songs on that record.

 

Cheshire Cat: Mark > Tom
Dude Ranch: Mark > Tom
Enema: Mark > Tom
TOYPAJ: Mark > Tom (could be tied here though)
Untitled: Mark < Tom
Neighborhoods: Mark < Tom

 

Yea, I always felt like this was pretty clear
