What would that 'something' actually be? You ever actually listen to their early stuff or just whatever MTV fed you?
It might not be the pinnacle of punk rock but that hardly sounds like an atrocity.
Avril Lavinge on the other hand, her first single sounded like a slightly more rocking version of Wilson Phillips' big hit. It's the same vocal melody, I can't hear the chorus to Complicated without having my brain mash in the 2nd half to Hold On.
ableeblooblaabloobleebloobla bleh Complicated....
...and you HOOoooollld On for one more day.
Avril, never punk. Blink 182, never that good (especially not the later years), but definitely in line with most other skater pop/punk band back in the day.
