Ranking Blink-182's Hit Singles From Worst To Best

9. Man Overboard

Stuck at the end of The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (the band's live album), Man Overboard was largely overlooked upon its release. It has a strong, fast-paced melody that recalls their earlier work, particularly Dammit. It was written about former drummer Scott Raynor and his problems with alcohol that lead to his departure from the band. Lyrics like "You're out of line and rarely sober" and "You can only lean on me for so long" paint a plainer picture than Blink is accustomed to, trading in artistic subtleties for some straightforward commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u38TqU5rAyk
