This is my submission for @recordpool, Song of the Day.
Again, a bit of music from my university days! Blink-182 was huge back then and on constant radio play. I loved their album "Dude Ranch", and in particular this track "Josie". Although, now that I'm listening back to the whole album, I have to say I really love the whole thing! So, probably I will have to do a few more recordpool submissions from these guys.
Anyway, "Josie" is what you get when a punk band tries to do a love ballad! It has a really great and funny music video, this was really the best stuff about my favourite punk and ska bands. The videos were always great, and didn't take themselves seriously!

I really like their 2016 album, California. Hard to pick a favourite but here's one of them:

Wow, it appears we both have wide ranging musical tastes! Out of curiosity, is there any music you aren't fond of? I am less keen on rap, romantic opera and Dixie jazz...

Mostly I'm a child of the 60s to 90s. I think I like quite a wide range, as long as they have melody, harmony or rhythm. You would think all music has at least one of those, but not to my ear.
I don't have the same knowledge of the right terms for some of the genres I'm not keen on as you. But I think the commonality in the things I dislike are that they're an extreme. I hate anything discordant, or anything too fast. Punk fast is a good speed for me, but faster makes me feel psychotic.
Rap - some of the old stuff was well done, (you know, with rhythm and wit), but I don't like most modern rap, especially gangsta.
Opera - not sure what romantic opera is, but maybe that's the kind I do like. It's not my favourite genre generally but there are some specific arias that I like a lot.
Jazz - I dislike most of it especially scat, but then there's the odd song I really like.
I don't "get" a lot of the modern classical. Hate Stravinsky.
I don't like metal that's extremely heavy, like Prodigy and some of the newer bands.
And some electronic music is very repetitive, too fast and irritating. Don't like Drum and Bass for eg. And after seeing Deadpool 2, had to check out Dub Step. Is there any electronica more ghastly?

Ha, that's a long childhood! I might try and change your mind about Stravinsky in the next couple of recordpool submissions!
