Blink 182. You have to like 'em. They are fun and they have great lyrics.

To be honest, neither show great skill ('cept maybe Travis Barker, his drumming shows some skill). Many Blink songs use the same chords, in the same key, in the same progression. Neither bands have much meaning and i honestly fail to see how people can become so emotionally attacked to them. If i'm ranting i'm sorry.

Neither bands are very good, musically (but all pop-punk bands are pretty much the same). They both write songs with extremely simple and repetitive chord progressions (normally just three or four power chords) and neither write very deep or meaningful lyrics.

ok thats ur oppinion that they both suck but that wasnt what i was asking u, so please all i am wondering is which one is better.

I don't see how the two are even comparable. But Good Charlotte is barley even a one-hit wonder, with "I Don't Wanna Be In Love". Blink-182 has some good songs.

i LOVE blink 182 stuff. its just so clever and catchy and all around fun songs to listen to. i know the same can be said about good charlotte but i dont know. i just could never get into them

Hmmmmm.... I pick Sum 41!

wow haha they are good to but i want to try to prove my friend wrong to bad people dont like GC

If we're talking about pop-punk here, then I'd have to go with Yellowcard.

That's right.

haha but can we focus on the 2 bands I know most people dont like them but still. and yes Yellowcard and Sum 41 are good bands to :Q
