You know..I'm not a fan of Blink 182, but at a certain point I think bashing them is kind of pointless and only serves to inflate one's musical knowledge ego... Music, and art, is personal preference.. If Blink's music speaks to someone, let it.. Further, you might consider that when they covered a song by this band that they are exposing kids to cool music they wouldn't know otherwise.. It really get kind of old to me..
I fucking WORSHIP The Only Ones!!!.... This song right here is a fucking MASTERPIECE along with most of their "conscius-shifting" material they've left for us their DEVOTED fans to have our MINDS MUSICALLY TRANSFORMED for the next three fucking CENTURIES!!!...
You gotta forget about blink, mainly because they're rubbish, they might be fine if you're just starting out on your music road, but no more. Hopefully this will become apparent and you will see that this is nothing short of genius.
Holy fuckin shit, my head nearly fell off that time. Last minute and a half is un fucking believable, the crescendo is just amazing this band need to be inducted to the rock n roll hall of fame, best band ever PERIOD.
Unbelievable guitar tones. The guitar solo is pure genius, makes my whole body go into this euphoric feeling , tingling all over and thats without takin anything. Unbelievable stuff from one of the greatest bands EVER. Music heals.
Grew up with this when I was young...and now I am going to Tokyo to see one of the most underated bands of all time...some maybe dont get it ...then feed them popcorn
they were grunge a decade before grunge . . . they were a cross between rock and punk . . . and they are so underrated . . . . the world needs more Peter Perrett
I was listening to these guys when I was 14, and everyone around me listened to Blink. Always thought Blink were a joke, a pop-punk band? Surely that's something of a contradiction!
Those losers aren't close to The Only Ones, they're miles off... Blink made music that you should grow out of by the time you're 16. The Only Ones made music that is timeless.
Seriously man, by the time the next generation comes round, Blink will have been forgotten. They were a nothing band when they were around, and they're a nothing band now.
The Only Ones debut album is considered a must have classic from the period, their music is not only great, but significant.
Wise words from a young man. Ppl keep comparing blink to this , Blink are nothing compared to the Only Ones, u have good taste , we need more of us to keep real rock alive .
@stoopidryan8 yeah, replacements and childhood introduced me to this song too. their cover lead to my discovery of the only ones. two wonderful bands in their own right. never much cared for blink 182, but they were big when i wasn't into that type of music. no hatred towards their cover as ive never even heard it, but i do like the replacements and westerberg's different covers of the song.
Hail Peter Perrett!!!!!!

I used to go and see this band as much as I could... Peter Perret was and still is as far as I know a great singer and performer. Great track!

Make no mistake these blokes had musical experience before THE ONLY ONES....
everyones missing the anti-GEAR message but with that JOHN PERRY sparks off some sonic themes the way the brits neck off an axe with melodic passion.
PERRET kept em outta the states due to a 1st tour incident by renta car pressing
an L.A. charlie street vendor into a brick-wall deal beating. Clever revenge... there is no cure....

Perret hit the 'sensual, gay, pop-rock thing' on the head way back then.
