I'm not embarrassed I liked those first albums and still do. Their new stuff, for the most part, is garbage. MxPx as well. Top 10 bands for me until like 2007ish. After that they suck! Their shows now are incredible. SOOO many hits. Not embarrassed that I liked them for so long. In my opinion, there are very few bands that I thought were really good in the 90s that are still even making music now, let alone still good. Not every band can be the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I will say that I am super embarrassed that I stole a friends tape of Ace of Base in the 7th grade and listed to it exclusively for like 3 months.
