Every Blink-182 Album Ranked From Worst To Best

Spoiler alert: Cheshire Cat is up next, and since it has M+M's and a better version of Carousel, it wins. The only reason Buddha is here is down to Mark Hoppus counting it in his album lineage when explaining the naming of last year's NINE. Some call it a 'demo album', while others consider this Blink's debut record, but when a founding member of the group lists it, then it has to make an appearance.

Buddha is a rough cut, showing just enough potential to gain Blink their first chance at a record deal, but light-years away from the albums that would change everything for the band just a few years later. Fentoozler and The Girl Next Door are the kind of cult classics that 'proper' Blink fans will swear by, telling you that you can't be a fan if you didn't spend your inheritance hunting down one of the original cassettes the band sold at their early shows.

In all honesty - and I know there are the die-hard early Blink devotees out there who will come for me - the first couple of efforts aren't up to much. Sorry, Buddha fans.
