73 - blink-182
She said "What?" and I told her that I didn't know
At number 73 is Blink-182. They are a trio from San Diego.
Wiki - Blink-182 is an American pop punk band from Poway, California, formed in 1992. The band formed as "Blink" with vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge, vocalist and bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Scott Raynor. In 1998, midway through a U.S. tour, current drummer Travis Barker replaced Raynor. Blink-182 are recognized as a key pioneer of contemporary pop punk music, influencing various acts over their career.
After releasing debut album Cheshire Cat (1994), the band achieved relative success with Dude Ranch (1997), now having sold over a million copies. However, the trio achieved even greater success with the multi-platinum selling Enema of the State (1999). Their following two albums maintained their popularity; Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001) and Blink-182 (2003) before DeLonge left the group in early 2005, initiating an indefinite hiatus. DeLonge went on to form Angels & Airwaves, while Hoppus and Barker continued playing music together in +44. On February 8, 2009, Blink-182 announced that they are continuing as a band, with the brief statement posted on their website saying "To put it simply, We're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album."

My favorite Blink songs are the ones where Mark sings. I don't know why, I just think he's a way better singer. Though it is fun to do Tom's voice in random everyday conversation and see if you can get away with it. Try it sometime.
Anyway, here's BLINK
next: another Super Bowl halftime band.
