blink-182 - Greatest Hits (DeLuxe Sound & Vision/Parental Advisory) [PA] (2005)

Blink 182...Greatest hits... I think that just about covers it.

Seriously though, this cd has some of the best pop-punk and pop/rock anthems of the 90's on it.

In a nutshell, the cd has some of their best singles from their albums starting with 'Cheshire Cat' right through to the self-titled 'Blink-182'.

The first 4 songs are "old school" Blink, just before they found fame and started releasing their more well-known stuff.

Tracks 5 to 11 are classic Blink- the real anthems like 'All The Small Things' and 'Rock Show' that everyone who's even heard of the band should know.

12 to 15 shows the more mature side of Blink-182. The songs here are from their latest (and probably last ever) album. By the time that album was released Blink-182 were already a worldwide-selling act.

The last song is a treat! A cover of the classic 'Another Girl, Another Planet' by The Only Ones. This song has been covered loads of times, but Blink's cover version is probably the best one of the lot.

Best songs on the cd are:
Carousel
What's My Age Again
Rock Show
I Miss You
Not Now

If you're new to the band and you want a good idea of what they're like, this is the best place to start.

This CD has some of there earlier music and some newer material, there are some amazing songs but admittedly a couple that I personnaly do not like.
However for any Blink 182 fan this is a great CD and will be loved, and if your not sure about this type of music then i think you could be pleasantly suprised!

From one of pop punks greatest and most celebrated bands!

Great lyrics, some schoolboy/teenage humour amongst them

My son first bought this album to my attention. I heard one or two tracks emitting from his bedroom and i really liked what i heard. So, i decided to buy the album...and i love it, its my car cd of the month!!!
Favourite tracks include;
Miss you, Stay together for the kids, Always, Man overboard, Adams Song, and i Won't be Home for Christmas
I love the way it decipers teenager experiences, and at the same time shows such insight and depth to what they notice in the world.

If you like blink 182 then you'll love this greatest hits cd!!! The chances are you've heard many of the tracks before and this compilation brings all their best tunes together which is great to enjoy at home or on the move - its been in my car for ages and i never grow tired of listening to it =) enjoy

This album really does show off the fantastic talent of the band that were Blink 182. A small selection of there best releases with a few other great tunes thrown in. Although they are all brilliant I would rate this as there best album. The best album in my collection without a doubt.
