48. Blink 182: 'Enema of the State' Blink-182's third, and most successful studio album was released June 1, 1999, on MCA Records and features the hits "What's My Age Again?", "All the Small Things" and "Adam's Song", which would later appear on their greatest hits compilation. It was Blink-182's first album recorded with drummer Travis Barker. The album was highly successful; it sold 12 million copies worldwide, making it the band's best selling album. This album is an Enhanced CD which contains a bonus music video and web links.
Porn star Janine Lindemulder is the nurse depicted on the cover of this album. The actress is pictured inspecting the semi-naked Blink 182 on the back sleeve. She is also featured in the music videos for "What's My Age Again?" and "Man Overboard". An emblem of the Red Cross was depicted on the nurse's cap on early pressings of the album cover. Shortly after, the Red Cross demanded that their symbol be removed from the cover as it currently is on all printings. Similarly, early printings of the album were not given Parental Advisory stickers (neither on the case nor printed on the cover) until shortly after the major success of the record.
