Blink 182 vs Weezer

Weezer don't make me want to destroy all human life on this planet, so I'll go with them.

Weezer ftw. I mean, 'All the small things'... O RLY?
Weezer knows Weltschmertz, and that's why it should win alone.

Blink only becomes intolerable when you remember how much the low-pants-backwards-cap white suburban mook scene dominated pop culture.

Next week:

A punch in the face vs A hug

probably have a comparable number of good songs when it comes down to it. Blink wins for having a good drummer.

blink (so far) has the good sense to break up and stay broken up, so them.

b182 far less smug, liked by far less smug cunts.

You do know that they're on a reunion tour, right? xp

Also: this is easily Blink. Rivers Cuomo never wrote anything as kinetic as "Dammit."

Weezer was a very different band after Matt Sharp left.. If we're judging based on their 90's material, then Weezer wins..

aw crap, really? i should've known. eh, i like more of their songs, anyway.

def blink

Rivers Cuomo never wrote anything as kinetic as "Dammit."

oh my god i really just said this i need to quit ilm

el oh el oh el oh el

@that Blink picture

Weezer = best album/best single
Blink 182 = best career

i like "The Sweater Song"

"say it aint so" is the only big weezer song that i think is good as the big blink songs

blink suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"dammit" is good though

"These kids today have no idea what real punk is," said Tolbert, who called himself "Steve Spew" from 1992 until May 1999, when he was forced to revert to his real name to take a job at Roberto's Custom Auto Upholstery. "Those so-called punk bands they listen to today? Sum 41? Good Charlotte? The Ataris? They're not punk. Back in the day, man, we used to listen to the real deal: Rancid, The Offspring, NOFX, Green Day. Those guys were what true punk rock was all about. Today's stuff is just a pale, watered-down imitation. There's no comparison."

Recalling the glory days of the '90s, Tolbert waxed nostalgic for a few moments before condemning today's punks.

"They can talk all they want about how much punk means to them, but the simple fact is, they weren't there," Tolbert said. "These kids today have no sense of history. They don't know about Pennywise. They barely know about Epitaph Records. Most of them don't even know about Green Day's legendary appearance in '94 at the L.A. Coliseum. It was a watershed, one-of-a-kind moment in the history of youth rebellion, and if you didn't live through it, as I did, you'll never get it, no matter how punk you pretend to be."

They don't know about Pennywise.

irlol

I'd be pretty happy not to know about Pennywise.

Good lord. What is that from?

I can't wait until 2017 when we can read the bassist from Simple Plan waxing nostalgic about how punk they were back in the good old days.

honestly you guys have to be pretty dense to not figure out that's from the onion by like the end of the first sentence

Weezer by a million miles.

Weezer used muppets in video, hence my vote. I can't recall a single Blink 182 song but I remember loathing them at the time and also being curious what kind of zeitgeist was going on where a band had numbers in its name.

Good lord. What is that from?

^ all-time classic

Weezer made two of the best rock albums of the '90s, so I'm going with Weezer.

and while the last two Weezer albums were pretty embarrassing, they have more listenable moments than Angels & Airwaves.

they have more listenable moments than Angels & Airwaves.

Not an entirely difficult feat.

sophies choice imo

what kind of zeitgeist was going on where a band had numbers in its name.

early days of aol screennames. and i think they added the 182 after they found out another band was already called "blink."

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

travesty

what the FUCK

like i'm not shocked by the result at all but the margin

btw rivers cuomo can eat a thousand dicks

Blink 182 shoulda won cuz they've made fewer albums

like when I think about Weezer I want to murder all the people involved, Blink 182 is just kinda annoying and ignorable

both bands are just kinda annoying and ignorable

weezer are slightly more annoying but it's like 4.00001 vs. 4.00002

HOOS this margin is really thinner than I would've predicted, you should be satisfied w/ this turnout imo...5 years ago it would've been much bigger i think

curiously similar Onion article to that of 3 days ago:
