Editing Dude Ranch (album) (section)

==Legacy==
''Dude Ranch'' was the band's first leap into the mainstream and proved to be a pivotal moment for the trio. While subsequent albums sold more copies, ''Dude Ranch'' has proved influential in other ways. Lindsay Zoladz provides context for its place in the band's canon in a 2019 piece for [[The Ringer (website)|The Ringer]]: "For a lot of pop-punk fans who felt the whiplash of Blink's sudden late-'90s transformation from Warped Tour upstarts to genuine ''[[Total Request Live|TRL]]'' heartthrobs, ''Dude Ranch'' came to develop a mythic, almost [[Garden of Eden|Eden]]ic glow. It was their final punk record, the one they made before they went pop."<ref name="Zoladz 2019"/> Trevor Kelley from ''Alternative Press'' credited it with "reigniting" the pop punk movement while calling it a "huge source of inspiration for a new generation of bands," such as [[Midtown (band)|Midtown]] and [[New Found Glory]].<ref name="AP07"/> The members of [[FIDLAR]] credited the album's impact,<ref name="Cohen 2012">{{cite web | last=Cohen | first=Ian | title=FIDLAR | website=Pitchfork | date=October 16, 2012 | url=https://pitchfork.com/features/rising/8967-fidlar/ | access-date=May 19, 2023}}</ref> while original [[Panic! at the Disco]] guitarist [[Ryan Ross]] has cited the album as his first influence: "I wanted to learn how to play like Tom DeLonge [on ''Dude Ranch'']."<ref name=rs>{{cite journal| last =Scaggs| first =Austin| date =April 20, 2006| title =Q&A: Ryan Ross of Panic! at the Disco| journal =[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]]| issue =998 | page =26 | publisher =[[Jann Wenner|Wenner Media]] [[Limited liability company|LLC]]| location =[[New York City]] | issn =0035-791X |quote=I wanted to learn how to play like Tom DeLonge.
