well they shouldn't Bradley could really play and they weren't trying to be reggae

AnckSuNamun said:

Oh, I thought you were saying Sublime sucked & 311 was great. Now I agree with you!

And still...

And if you add Phish, Dave Matthews Band, and Jack Johnson you can replicate the hell of my college experience. Minus the Snow, of course.

I hate that mellow modern day James Taylor music.

I like some mellow music. I can take Jack Johnson in small doses though, after a while his songs begin to sound alike. I think early DMB was alright before they became the official soundtrack to frat boys Don't you dare throw Ben Harper in there either

Yeah and thats allowed, Maybe what Matisyahu does gives him great satisfaction, people think because hes an Orthodox Jew he dosen't listen to pop music, he does and he makes it too. Still hes a gimmick and disposable. But he probably knows it and seems "Youth" as a get rich quick scheme.

Saw an interview with him a few months ago. He's been into reggae since he was a kid and he readily admits to being heavily influenced by Marley and old-school rap. He's been performing for years now and has just recently caught on for whatever reason. There is absolutely a gimmick aspect to seeing a hasidic jew who can do reggae (Of course there was also a gimmick aspect to seeing a short black guy in a thong and trenchcoat dance around and lick his guitar....).

But, I'd suggest giving his live album, "Live at Stubbs" a listen. Dude has skills and a very tight band.

Heh, I thought about it, but I like some of his songs The cd w/ the Blind Boys from Alabama is pretty good.
