Known as one of the originators of the punk pop genre, blink-182 has a wide range of musical styles displayed in their music. They are most commonly known for their catchy music as well as for their satire and comical songs. Their profanity-laden music combined with their clever integration of toilet humor has made their main fan group teenagers. On their most recent CD however, the style of the music was modified as a sign of growing up and that band has since attracted a more adult audience. Despite the “indefinite hiatus” the group announced in 2005, blink-182 remains popular. The list below is their top 10 songs from 1996-2005, a span in which the group produced five mainstream albums as well as several live compilation CDs.

1. “All The Small Things
Perhaps blink-182’s most famous song of their thirteen-year career thus far was “All The Small Things.” A mainstream and rock hit, the song peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as many weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. Besides it’s catchy tune and lyrics, the song is remembered mostly for it’s hilarious video. The video parodied a number of different artists of the time including some of the most well known pop icons.

2. “Adam’s Song”
This hugely popular song is widely regarded to be one of the most serious the group has done to date. Its slow nature makes it stand out from the rest of the groups mostly fast paced tracks. Written to inform lonely kids about alternatives to committing suicide, the song created a stir and received much news coverage in 2000 following a news report that a teenager had killed himself while listening to the song.
