dagwave Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm guessing the same "research" might unearth similar disparity between: yankee/ mets fansjohn prine/ james taylor others? waitEagles/ Grateful DeadCat Power/ Katy Perry i sense a new thread? but not buying into the happiness researchedit:less money= more happy: YES Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lost highway Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 1. Sometimes Interpol is more interesting than Joy Division. 2. Sublime is an ironically titled band (they suck). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Sublime has a bunch of good tunes. My chick turned me on to some live shit that I don't mind on car drives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Yeah, but the way they are treated as legend in some circles is something I have never been able to understand. I just don't hear it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
choo-choo-charlie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I thought Bradley Nowell had some pretty wicked guitar playing on some tracks. Pawn Shop, in particular. Although the solo is relatively simple, it sounds like he's really playing with feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 New Paltz I am thinking was a regional epicenter. They still get a lot of airplay on the Woodstock station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IRememberDBoon Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think they are legendary because they combine reggae, ska, punk and whatever else and they do it so well.Also Bradley died so young and they broke right after that.They have some allsome punk songs IMOApril 26, 1992 is epique!Also look up the song Seed. Even tinnitus would like it.I cant seem to paste anything into my messages anymore. Maybe the mods are trying to tell me something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a fan of all of the above genres, I think that's where my side comments came in. But to each his own, they've clearly brought more joy to people than ridicule from assholes like me. Time for new blasphemy: The Counting Crows are often amazing in spite of their frequent cheesyness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 "Einstein on the Beach" is a fantastic tune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Sublime has a bunch of good tunes. My chick turned me on to some live shit that I don't mind on car drives.I agree with this. Not the end all be all, but still a pretty good band.Here's some blaphemy:Take some of Britney Spears' songs out of her hands, and there are some pretty damn good tunes there!

Even tinnitus would like it.the only thing i know about Sublime is that Santeria song. which is about on the same level of enjoyment as herpes. sorry, "Seed" isn't doing any better.

Lammycat Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 "Santeria" is a pretty weak tune and they are not a great band by any means, imo, but they do have some catchy shit I like (particularly some live stuff). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IRememberDBoon Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I do think its safe to say that if Bradley had lived they would have been HUGE. I mean they cranked out a bunch of catchy ass tunes pretty quickly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
