The Worst Blink Song Ever (Round Eight California [Deluxe])

[Kay]

Mmk

Removed bored to death acoustic and the joke track, so just 10 tracks. personally I dislike most of these equally so I'm not sure what I'm voting for yet. 

[Low Value Boy]

Was between Parking Lot and Long Lost Feeling, had to go for Parking Lot though. Mega cringe. 

[Patient #48273]

This thread made me realize I haven't even listened to all of the deluxe tracks yet.

This may be one of the harder life decisions...

Parking Lot is the most embarrassing Blink song ever. So bad on every level, so cringe..by the whole team.  But Misery is just as bad. Matt has never been worse, misery loves company REALLY? REALLY BLINK?  How far have they fallen is all I could think.  Such a tough decision between the two.  One is indeed a douche and one a turd sandwich.

Misery has a decent opening and bridge though, so Parking Lot takes the cake and will be my vote for worst all time.

Worst song ever, not best.

I went with Good Old Days. it's a tough one because I basically dislike 7 out of 10 but I find this one the most forgettable and annoying. 

[thongrider]

This was kind of a tough one because I wouldn't say any of these are the absolute shite. The closest to absolute shite is Parking Lot though. 

[Nosferatu]

I had to vote Wildfire. I can't stand Parking Lot, but even Wildfire makes that song bearable to listen to IMO. Those two are definitely the worst though I think.

[Speedo]

I actually enjoyed the deluxe, I cant remember if there were any I skipped. I went with Parking Lot solely for the hook. It reminds me of that yellow taxi song.

[Coddled Jan]

I actually kind of like Wildfire. "don't tell me it's too late, I'm stuck at heavens gate" is why though.

[vic vinegar]

Oh man here we go.  Before I vote I'll probably have to listen to these tracks too. Unfortunately.

[zzzz]

Ugh this is hard for me, it comes down to "Don't Mean Anything" and "Wildfire". I really enjoy the bridge on DMA and Mark's "and it's a long way back to the middle of the road" part... and after re listening to "Wildfire" the instrumentals pack quite a punch...

 

I think I gotta go with DMA, chorus is just too damn corny to give a pass.

i really really did not understand the hate for parking lot. and i'm super critical of where the band is now. i guess if you were expecting some cool, untitled-era track for the follow-up to cali, but considering it's an extension of the same album i expected parking lot and nothing more. it never bothered me, and i didn't find it to be THAT bad of a song. just bland, boring memories with fake-ass "we're suburbia" shit

certainly not as bad as something like WILDFIRE. wildfire is probably my overall worst blink song. it has vacant, meaningless lyrics (they basically confirmed it as such -- "it's just about a wildfire, dude") that feel out-of-place for their place: "Living for the paycheck / Dying for the weekend / Take another Xanax / Cheating on your girlfriend." just disgusting. lyrically, it also continues to mine the suburbia bullshit that's present all over cali and is forced as hell: "We won this war / The underdogs came home". mark doesn't even sound like he cares. oh and "i'll never heed the king of fools" is laughable. not to mention every other aspect that makes the cali songs grating, but it's worth noting for the 100th time that matt/feldmann re-uses that same guitar riff to open this song he does 10 more on these albums.

if someone said "oh you like blink-182? i heard that new song wildfire!" i'd say i've never heard of them. it makes me embarrassed to be a fan. but that goes for much of cali and cali deluxe, but wildfire takes the cake.

[Ghost]

Funny how I... kinda... came to terms with Parking Lot, so to say. I voted Wildfire. But was a hard choice. Also, curious how I like Hey, I'm Sorry now. It was, by far, me less favourite when it came out in the japanese edition.

[VinDicktive]

'Fuck this poll, it's obviously Parking Lot (na nana na na nana)'

[fran.182]

"Parking Lot", which is a contender for worst proper song they've ever released. Unless it's a brilliant self-aware joke/satire...

[daveyjones]

bottom of the ocean all day. bleh.

Wow parking lot is taking a pounding!

I feel quite the same. I don't even mind it musically so much, it just lyrically annoys the shit out of me, especially the underdogs part.

I'll tell you what, I changed my mind about Parking Lot, even though I never quite hated it. The song I like the least is probably Bottom of the Ocean. Los Angeles is way better than that.
