Their mix of punk, roots reggae and hiphop was ahead of its time.

RIP Bradley Nowell.

I heard that payback's a mother fuckin' bitch. But I won't stress and I won't switch. And I would not take my life. Glory please my God the only thing on my mind. Takes up all of my time. And I said ooh! Running from a gun. Or some brain that ways a ton. And my God it hurts to get so low

sublime is one of my favorite groups ever. for those of you who are wanting more than just the six official albums, check out sublimearchive.com -- it's official and they serve TONS of sublime boots, live shows and outakes all free for download. Since the band is obviously not on a label anymore, they're just giving it all away.

I've never heard one single song by them.

they covered Toots's "5446-That's My Number". I personally like Toots's version better. As far as 3rd wave ska, Sublime's one of my favorites. I call it SoCal/stoner/surfer/skater music.

their music is for potheads.

Let's change this to the Sublime Hate thread.

lol i know you love you some sublime. which album is your fav? i wanna say 40oz buuutttt....the selftitled from 96 is special cause of the time. so thats my pick.

Christopher said:

Their self titled one is my favorite one too. I like 40oz too, but it's a little too long for me. I was just listening to "Get Ready" this morning....one of my favorites from it. I'm in the mood. Get Ready "What I Got" was sooo overplayed back then that I can't even listen to it anymore. It automatically gets the skip button. Same with "Santeria". I still can listen to "Wrong Way" though.....I liked it back then and I still like it as much now. That song "Burritos" is kinda my anthem....because sometimes I just don't care about anything I love how the album start with "Garden Grove"....it's so spacey. "Caress Me Down" is just silly ....I like it though. It's kinda scary that Bradley died right before the release of this album. It's gonna be the 10th year anniversay this May. But yeah....it was just something about my mood when I first heard this album. It was around middle school/high school....so you know that was an awkward time for me

One of my favorites...RIP Brad and Lou Dog...

and it goes...
if I was Bob Marley I said could you be loved
if I was Half Pint I'd ball the lord up above
if I was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight
if I was a Boomtown Rat I would be stayin' up all nite
if I was the King Ad-Rock I would get stupid dumb
if ryhmes were valiums I'd be comfortably numb

I enjoy them too and I am NOT a pothead either!!

ROODBOI, you just made my day with that pic of Brad and Lou. To whoever said their music was for potheads, you can get my dickhead, haha.

roodboi said:

So, how did they die?

minneapolisgenius said:

...Brad,herion o.d May 1996....Lou Dog....dog years caught up to him...

smokeverbs said:

...coming from someone with the word "smoke" in their username.
I rest my case.

roodboi said:

Oh, I had no idea. I never listened to them so I wasn't even aware of any deaths.

DynamicSavior said:

peep it: the name is smokeVERBS, not Herbs, fool.

minneapolisgenius said:

...wow, I thought you were kidding about not ever listening to them...judging by your other tastes I think you would like 'em...check 'em out...40 oz. To Freedom is my personal fave album of theirs...

smokeverbs said:

hey...you said "herbs" before I did.
FOOL.

listening to "Under My Voodoo" One of their best songs imo.

great band...shame about Brad. Sublime would've been huge if he'd lived. That dude was talented as hell. Kick ass voice too. 40oz is my fave but love self titled too.
