Mark Allan Hoppus is an American musician, songwriter and producer who is known as the bassist and co-lead vocalist for the rock band Blink-182, the only member to appear on each album. He is also part of the pop rock duo Simple Creatures.

Dude Ranch is the second studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on June 17, 1997, by Cargo Music and MCA Records, making it their major record label debut. MCA signed the band in 1996 following moderate sales of their 1995 debut Cheshire Cat and their growing popularity in Australia. Dude Ranch was the band's final recording released on Cargo and the last to feature their full original lineup as drummer Scott Raynor was dismissed from the band in 1998.
