Icon
Icon is a compilation from blink-182, released on 19 March 2013 through Geffen. It is the band's second greatest hits collection, and it arrived after they left Interscope Records in 2012. The set gathers their biggest singles, drawing on a stretch of their career that runs from Dude Ranch in 1997 through to the self-titled album of 2003.
Within the band's story, it sits between Neighborhoods in 2011 and California in 2016, a tidy snapshot of the years before those records. For anyone who wants the hits in one place without digging through each album, it's a handy way in. It also shows how the sound moved from the punk-leaning rock of the late 1990s towards the more polished pop-rock of the early 2000s.
