the only mainstream alt-rock band to ever claim The Minutemen as an influence who actually sound like The Minutemen
Do Primus claim the Minutemen as an influence? (Not saying they necessarily sound like them, but I can imagine them sounding at least as much like them sometimes as Sublime do sometimes.)
― xhuxk, Monday, 4 May 2009 19:42 (fourteen years ago) link
I was the biggest Primus stan from 1993-1999 and I've never heard them mention it.

geographically speaking, i'd imagine that any punk band from Long Beach at that time would be at least aware, if not really into, the minutemen.

― Philip Nunez, Monday, 4 May 2009 19:47 (fourteen years ago) link
point isn't that Sublime sounded totally like the Minutemen 24/7, just that they showed the influence more overtly than, say, anyone else who was talking them up in the mid-90s or appearing on Ball Hog Or Tugboat?
xpost - yes they do
― cumlord millionaire (some dude), Monday, 4 May 2009 19:48 (fourteen years ago) link
don't think i bought any. my brother did and i would steal his all the time tho. tbh i think their singles are all pretty awful (save 'doin time') but esp. on the first album it's some pretty decent ska. i never listen to them but i don't hate hate 'em. i pretty much have no interest in hearing the s/t ever again tho
― mark cl, Monday, 4 May 2009 19:54 (fourteen years ago) link
i gotta give them credit for being the only mainstream alt-rock band to ever claim The Minutemen as an influence who actually sound like The Minutemen.
That's really funny. I enjoy a ton of '80s SST and indie/punk stuff but actually have never liked/enjoyed the Minutemen. Why? Back in college, I played Double Nickels and for some reason it reminded me of Sublime et al.
Maybe I wasn't far off base, if I'm not the only one to notice...

Hate to say that Minuteman were (along with the Gang of Four) one of the biggest influences on that mess.

Still partial to this opening salvo. I was so disappointed to pick up the CD version and find that "Get Out" had been completely removed.
I bet I could make a decent Sublime playlist, and I'm kinda jonesing for one with this thread being bumped, but I didn't save any of their CDs.
