In time, blink-182 proved they had a serious side at this point nobody needed one.

For all their bluster, this was a band that knew and loved its audience: If you were hitting your late teens around 1999, вЂњWhatвЂ™s My Age Again?вЂќ offered reassurance that you didnвЂ™t have to grow up just yet. But few were catchier, funnier, or savvier than Enema of the State. Skate-punk produced a number of the greatest rock albums ever. One thing weвЂ™ll say without hesitation: Every one of these albums is worth a listen, whether youвЂ™re discovering it for the first time or reconnecting with a longtime favorite. And yes, some of your favorites вЂ“ and for that matter, some of ours вЂ“ may be missing, but rock history is so loaded by now that 100 albums can only begin to tell the story. Only one artist appears twice, as a group member and solo, but if you were a Beatle and then made a game-changing solo debut we can cut you some slack. When an artist obviously has more than one essential album, weвЂ™ve made a case for the one that we believe to be the most important of the lot. Punk and prog, hardcore and AOR, glam and metal, roots and arena rock вЂ“ theyвЂ™ve all got a place on this list, and your ears are better off for absorbing all of it.ДЇinally, this list has been confined strictly to one album per band/artist. Hence the presence of some highly mainstream albums right alongside the indie/underground entries. That said, weвЂ™ve tried to spread the wealth around, not favoring one genre of rock over another.
