re: Weezer or blink 182

Blink was more commercially successful to be sure, but what does that really mean? They were really just another "word and number" band of the late 90's when word and number bands were coming and going like cheap hookers. Pop punk was the sound of that era.

Weezer to me, was better. Less punk, much less hokey than Blink and more nerdy which I liked. The songs varied in theme so much, that you never really knew what you were getting from one album to the next. Certainly they are more popular among musicians and influential to many other successful bands.
