I would like Travis Barker more if I didn't blame him (I know it is not his fault, but the timing is what it is) for the direction Blink 182 took post Dude Ranch.

I probably have no single drummer I consider the best. Being a drummer I appreciate multiples for what they play. But I'm also horrible at remembering names so I couldn't tell you even the bands which I love the drum work in. I just know it when I hear it.

I agree that their music (for the most part) has progressively gotten worse and they've kind of gotten away from being a punk band, but then I don't think they ever were the traditional punk style anyways.

They kind of had a style of their own that just said "we don't give a flying ****, we just produce good music," which is what made them so good.  Like I said, I think they've kind of drifted away from that and become more mainstream.

See above.
