Enema of the State vs. From Under the Cork Tree

[domotime2]

Im doing this poll, based off another thread....I was curious, because I have a feeling AP kids will be split on this one...

[versus_god]

Enema ruled.

[El_Jeffe]

i'd say in most case, very generally speaking, older pop-punk fans will pick enema of the state, while younger fans will pick from under the cork tree. i've only heard the former, does nothing for me. but i won't say anything more since i don't enjoy/know anything about this genre, etc

[fadedmemories]

FUCT FTW, not that Enema was bad

[Paulb-182]

everyone should say Enema

[INRIhab]

yea this should not even be close

[Someone'sCoat]

What a joke.

you know that so many people here are rabid for blink-182, right?

[drcroc]

Anyone who doesn't say enema is clueless.

[Troggy]

Anyone who doesn't say enema is clueless.

Anyone who gives Blink 182 that much credit is clueless.

[SLoT]

One wouldn't be here without the other. I'm fairly certain of this.

[Paulb-182]

I wonder how this would go if it was Enema vs TTTYG

[Rock]

I'd pick pretty much any album over FUCT. Awful, awful album.

I think you already know.

I think you already know.

people on AP do bum TTTYG just a bit dont they haha, I'd still vote Enema though

[kwsqd]

Thank god for the last option.

[new_arbiter]

Battle of the breakout albums?

I'd say FUCT, but neither is that great.

[micahistheballs]

Not a huge fan of either, but I'd go with FUCT.

[jbaseball44]

Liked EOTS when i was younger but does nothing for me now. I still like one or two songs on FUCT so i'll take that

[DaveZeroZero]

This is a tough call. Six months ago I would've picked Enema every time, but FUTCT has really grown on me. However, based upon the sheer number of songs that I really enjoy on one album versus those on another, I voted for Enema.

That said, my thoughts could be entirely different in two months :shrug:

[c_rob2700]

Without Enema there would be no FUCT, TTTYG would be a better comparison

[Paulb-182]

there would be nothing of this website without Enema

[Mibabalou]

are you fuckin kiddin me fob should never be in the same sentence with blink 182

[kwsqd]

are you fuckin kiddin me fob should never be in the same sentence with blink 182
You just broke your own rule.
this made me lol

[lenard27]

Enema for sure. FUCT was alright. I hated it when it came out but then it grew on me when Infinity on High came out, mostly because that album was so bad.
But Enema was pure awesome.

[domotime2]

hmm i under-estimated the hard ons for blink 182 on this site.....its still decently close.

[xAnti-Violentx]

Enema all the way!

[Chromefox]

Enema of the State was the album that got so many listeners here into this genre of music. Blink were a lot of peoples' first band. Hell, this used to be a fansite for them.

Enema is going to sweep it.

*people's

[Chromefox]

*people's *Shrug*

Typo.

[DaveZeroZero]

*Shrug*

Typo.
Yeah, yeah.

I'm just being the grammar police, as usual =]

[sjb2k1]

Adam's Song and Going Away to College are better than anything on FUTCT.

[c_rob2700]

My hard-on for Blink-182 will never die, for the record

[PoisonInMyVeins]

i was just in a thread discussing this. i chose enema only because cork tree disappointed me. i could not care less about either band nowadays, though.

[domotime2]

im suprised the FOB fans didnt come out and support

[theguy77]

Anyone who doesn't say enema is clueless.

uhh, good pop music vs. a shitty excuse for pop-punk with a side of toilet humor that suits only someone with the maturity and music appreciation of a 13 year old. hmm.

[versus_god]

I haven't listened to Blink in years but I have never ever never never enjoyed Fall Out Boy.

[shit stroll]

I haven't listened to Blink in years but I have never ever never never enjoyed Fall Out Boy.
This.

[ThisIsNotDan]

eh I'll go with Fall Out Boy on this one. don't know why so many people say Enema of the State is Blink's best, I think Take Off Your Pants And Jacker is far and above the better Blink album.

also, From Under The Cork gets too much shit. Take This To Your Grave is so ridiculously overrated

[humanafterall]

Enema:
Going Away To College
What's My Age Again?
Adam's Song
All The Small Things
Mutt
Wendy Clear

I can't find one good song on Cork Tree. Not one.

[theguy77]

eh I'll go with Fall Out Boy on this one. don't know why so many people say Enema of the State is Blink's best, I think Take Off Your Pants And Jacker is far and above the better Blink album.

i agree though my level of appreciation for that album is still only nostalgia

also, From Under The Cork gets too much shit. Take This To Your Grave is so ridiculously overrated

i disagree with this, both albums are solid and have a good sense of energy about them

[c_rob2700]

Maturity is for dudes with vaginas

[theguy77]

holy fuck, its tom delonge!

i knew this was your cover all along. so like, since i know you're the second coming, what do you want us to do to prepare for rapture? i'll be your personal prophet.

Second Cumming*

[theguy77]

Second Cumming*

how delightfully appropriate.

[c_rob2700]

how delightfully appropriate.
Blink-182 made me do it, those immature bastards

[hf57]

although blink are legends, fuct was just too good.

[duhpunk]

FUCT has grown on me a little bit since I decided to give it another chance.

But it will never touch Enema in my book.

[c_rob2700]

I really like FUCT, but seriously? Adam's Song alone is better

[PopPunkKid]

TTTYG, IoH > FUCT

blink's self-titled > Enema

[theguy77]

I really like FUCT, but seriously? Adam's Song alone is better

dude, i can name six songs on FUCT that own every blink song, with the exception of "here's your letter". thats a good song.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I don't like them equally.

[theguy77]

I don't like them equally.

I don't like you equally.

lucky for you i do enjoy FUCT haha

[HangsLikeHeaven]

;-)

[drcroc]

Anyone who gives Blink 182 that much credit is clueless.

My statement only gives Blink 182 credit over Fall Out Boy, not credit in general. Pete Wentz said it himself in an interview with Hoppus "My band wouldn't exist without Blink 182." Get a clue.

[drcroc]

uhh, good pop music vs. a shitty excuse for pop-punk with a side of toilet humor that suits only someone with the maturity and music appreciation of a 13 year old. hmm.

lol @ "shitty excuse for pop punk." Do you realize that they are one of the biggest reasons that pop punk sounds the way it does today? And also... lyrics aren't music, they are words, so judging their music based on lyrical content is a bit...childish.

[fadedmemories]

I'm not surprised at the results of the poll

[Maxwell]

wtf? how does this even compare?!

Enema.

[flyeast]

dude, i can name six songs on FUCT that own every blink song, with the exception of "here's your letter". thats a good song.
Even if you did it's all subjective and no one would care.

[TheHitcher66]

Enema of The State is by far the best album of the two, although I like and own both :D

[katekate]

I wonder how this would go if it was Enema vs TTTYG
that's what i was thinking. it seems weird that the poll is enema vs FUCT seeing as FUCT isn't even in the same genre as enema

[c_rob2700]

dude, i can name six songs on FUCT that own every blink song, with the exception of "here's your letter". thats a good song.
Agree to disagree then

[ThisIsNotDan]

I really like FUCT, but seriously? Adam's Song alone is better

yeah I will agree with this.

[Colorblind!]

I don't know if its been said, but TTTYG is 1000000000000000000x better then FUCT.

[Troggy]

haha okay you can back off blink's nuts now. they aren't that important. just because they inspired pete wentz doesn't mean any of their albums are better than Fall Out Boy albums.

[c_rob2700]

There's too much biase in this thread, someone either really loves FOB or really loves Blink.

[fadedmemories]

There's too much biase in this thread, someone either really loves FOB or really loves Blink.
Agreed

[theguy77]

There's too much biase in this thread, someone either really loves FOB or really loves Blink.

or, someone loved both bands at age 13, and still likes one while the other one failed to remain relevant

[theguy77]

Even if you did it's all subjective and no one would care.

obviously but no discussion is shared if we keep our subjective opinions to ourselves

[flyeast]

this is true

[theguy77]

lol @ "shitty excuse for pop punk." Do you realize that they are one of the biggest reasons that pop punk sounds the way it does today?

this is like defending hillary duff because without her, we wouldnt have miley cyrus.

unless of course you're talking about the actual meaning of pop-punk -- actual punk with pop-sensible melodies and structure, which blink-182 indeed performed a very shitty attempt at becoming, and didnt influence ANY of those bands.

[Kyleisraddd]

The Blink album is much better. FUCT is garbage. FOB in general is garbage.
