Trauma's post motivated me to make another topic about a non-hiphop band i love. So does anybody on this board listen to Sublime? Their style is (was) pretty much a mix of rock, reggae, punk and ska with influences reaching from folk to hiphop (they had Too $hort, Q-Ball and KRS-ONe on their albums too) and yet it's unique. Bradley Nowell (the guy in the pic below and in my sig now) was an extremly gifted musician, the lead vocalist (a very good one), guitarist (a great one) and he also played percussion, bass and congas and handled the samplers. Since he died of heroin in 97, the band is no more and they got only 3 albums (plus some posthumous releases of old material)

the ones i got are "40 Oz.To Freedom" (debut) and the 3rd and last, self-titled one...both are pretty damn great...for example "Sublime" starts with a reggae song that ends with a melody that sounds like one of DJ Quik's better beats, the 2nd is smooth west coast folk rock, 3rd is ska, 4th is ska-punk, etc. and yet it all goes together very well and always sounds alot like Sublime to me

just thought i'd put up a non-hiphop topic...so anybody into them??

Badfish
Summertime

Post by: eKardz on January 25, 2005, 08:31:55 AM: i just got into sublime this year up at college. but i would have to say although i love santeria, summertime, what i got, date rape, and 2 joints, more than most, my favorite has to be poolshark. that song is insane. you can really tell what he is going through with his heroin addiction.

one of the few songs that really kinda make me sad...i'm not too easily affected by sad lyrics, but this shit is quite brutal, just a few lines and you got the picture of this desparate heroin fiend wanting to get off but failing...he even says he's gonna lose the war and a few years later he did... :-\

Post by: Citizen-Y on January 25, 2005, 05:25:03 PM: I like them when I first heard them but I do wish he would have never of died so he could have made more songs so I don't have to hear Santeria OVER AND OVER AND OVER again on the radio.
