Doesn't qualify 'em for the Hall of Fame either. Sublime always struck me as the kind of guys who Rollins was talking about when he said that eighties LA rednecks would have Oingo Boingo stickers on their cars.

Sorry, this is pushing it in terms of hyperbole (though lord knows I indulge in enough of that ;-)). I don't buy this equation for a minute based on a simple fact -- I enjoy Bob Marley quite a lot. Sublime aren't worth using my old toilet paper. Fuck the fanbase, I'm just not interested in the songs or the singer or the voice. I am amused at how Sugar Ray essentially used Nowell's corpse for their own devices, though.
does anyone actually like any of these things. i like my bands to be kinda crappy and full of shit.

Name me your least favorite famous band and then consider how many groups they influenced. And yet you still think them a dud yourself...
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link
All of their songs had their own abstract sound and influences of many genres of music. They were the first band I can recall to mix so many types of music and still appeal to the mainstream even. They were innovators of their own sound, and showed flashes of brilliance when brad wasnt strung out. For people to say its good that he died this and that is a bunch of crap.
To the people that bash Sublime, at least give a reason that has some substance and give an example of what "good music" really is, or should sound like. Not the typical "they sucked" response. If you just personally didnt like the style then thats fine, but you cant deny they dont deserve to be bashed in my opinion. I bet that most that are, havnt listened to all of their music and are probably basing their opinion on a couple of songs. I'd say at the least they're one of if not the best alternative bands to come out in the 90's (which isnt saying much considering the crap) but DEFINITELY not a "dud".
Good music is where you find it, and I don't find it in what I've heard from Sublime -- and though I've not heard everything by them, no, what I have heard is enough to not interest me further in their stuff. Simple as that.

Sublime were and a remain a dud not because their music was a "fad," but because at the end of the day it was pretty shallow stuff: nothing too great or original to say, and not too many original ways to say it. And before you start throwing words like "reggae" around, do your homework. Sublime were as credibly reggae as fuckin' Ace of Base. Moreover, white rock bands splicing reggae/dub influences into their work is hardly new or innovative when you factor in names like, oh gosh, I dunno....the CLASH, THE POLICE, PUBLIC IMAGE LTD., THE POP GROUP, THE SLITS, THE PAYOLAS, THE RUTS, let alone legitimate 2nd-wave Ska bands like THE SPECIALS, THE SELECTER, THE BEAT, MADNESS, etc. etc.

Personally I think that a lot of Bradley's lyrics are meaningful and powerful, and if you dont, then whatevers that's totally fine, you don't have to listen to them at ALL. I feel privelidged to be able to listen to sublime and take in all of the emotion and soul that Bradley put into every song. If all the nay-sayers on this thread dont get that, then I guess I kinda feel sorry that they dont get out of it what I do, but i dont think that is any reason to bash them back. I cant believe such hardcore Sublime fans say shit like "ned Raggett is a Fagget" and "You fuckin' fags only listen to whats on MTV and you shop at Hollister and have gay looking hair cuts". I mean I dont understand where all of this anger and offensiveness comes from, but I dont get any of that feeling from Sublime or Bradley.
In the words of Bradley himself "Good music is good music, and that should be enough for anybody." So why doesnt everyone just listen and let listen, so to speak, and just at LEAST stop all this stupid name calling, POINTLESS arguments, and short cheap shots like calling them a 3rd rate Bad Brains?
P.S. Although it may be HARD for some of you guys to believe, but I haven't smoked weed for 2 years now, and BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!! I still like sublime, so lets just stop that generalization shall we?

To say the best song they ever did was "doin' time" and then take credit away from them for making it by acrediting ALL of the greatness of the song to gershwin is a slightly inconsequential argument. Where is the fact printed the "doin' time" is their best song? Is this your opinion? If it is your opinion, based on no real data, made simply from observing what you think might be true, then it is quite irrelevant. Furthermore to discount all of what Sublime did to create the song is underappreciating all that they actually did. Although Doin' Time is based off of Summertime by Gershwin from Porgy and Bess, the two songs are far from identical. The line "summertime and the living's easy" is the only line in common from the two songs. The genre for both songs are very different, and the tempos are both very different. So, to say that "doin' time" was made because of Gershwin is really pointless, I mean it's a cover for christ sake. However, it is really one of the more dissimilar covers of any that I have heard. By your standards, Save Ferris and Jimi Hendrix should both get no credit for their songs "Come on Eileen" and "All Along the Watchtower" respectively. A cover is a cover, and the song "Doin' Time" is a fantastic one, and its popularity and quality should not discount the musical prowess and quality of Sublime as a band. (sERIOUSLY)...

All these thread revives, Jon, and you don't link to this story instead:
Rivas and a group of friends from Northern Los Angeles traveled to Orange County that day to visit the grave of Bradley Nowell, a guitarist for the popular band Sublime, who died of a heroin overdose at a San Francisco hotel in 1996. Sublime was a popular 1990s era band that performed reggae, punk, ska, funk and hip hop music. Nowell fronted the band, which originated in Long Beach.Later that evening, during the birthday gathering at the hotel, Rivas said “I think I saw God at the beach.” Rothwell responded, according to witnessed, “I am the Devil… Don’t tell me about God.”She then grabbed a small knife from her purse and stabbed Rivas in the neck while he stood on a balcony, severing the jugular.

oh good Ned you're here. I wanted to let you know that your critical perspective had a bad blindspot right there in 90s radio rock...conflating Bradley Nowell with Fred Durst or Mark McGrath is a pretty grave error in judgement...Sublime certainly made a mistake that many bands before them made (confusing the power of 'black' musical genres with the machismo of some of their practitioners) but ther misogyny was prolley no worse than anything Led Zeppelin did (and far better than anything RHCP did).

sorry that was a bit more priggish then I actually intended to be when i first conceived it.
point is: Mark McGrath and Fred Durst would both have to stand on a tall ladder to kiss Bradley Nowell's ass...Nowell not only could play an instument pretty well, but he actually had a bit of loose jazzy improvisational songwriting style (see STP), at least some of what he has to say about the opposite sex is more thoughtful and considered than "I did it all for the nookie."
Plus Sublime has done the best Grateful Dead cover in the last fifteen or twenty years.

The Rock band Sublime is back with new front man Rome. We are shooting their first music video in 15 years in Hollywood on Sat, 5/14/11. $50.00, meals, credit. Please read the casting call below.
Sublime Extras:Male and female roles. Must be sexy/attractive. Must be over 18 but look like they could be younger. Must have a gritty LA skate/punk vibe to them. Must come camera ready. Wardrobe is skate/punk attire. Think "Lords of Dogtown" or "Wussup Rockers".

This is one of the bands that I go back and forth between loving or hating.
It’s the nostalgia goggles talking... they appealed to most people in college/late high school in the late 90’s and in the right context they were a perfect soundtrack, also the mid to late 90’s had some of the worst popular rock music so I’d still take the party playing Sublime over the party playing shit like Live, Our Lady Peace, Silverchair, Candlebox, et al.
If I take that goggles off they are frat white dude funk music that fails most of the time.
If I’m in one of those rare “every music I hear sounds great” phases, then I appreciate the quirkiness in his guitar playing and his voice, how good the bass usually sounds and the wasted potential. Usually I think they’re a very bland, mediocre band that just became this sort of flagpole music for a certain type of people because the singer offed himself right in the middle of their most succesful album.

For some reason I felt the need to put on "What I Got" for my 8-year-old tonight. Now, at a distance, I don't care anymore who used to be into this band. This song is perfect, so light and yet so rich in thrilling detail. Did people think this was supposed to be ska? It doesn't sound anything like ska. It sounds like itself. It sounds like what you wanted to sound like when you fucked around with your shitty acoustic guitar. This is some eternity-level pop.

I often think that Thanx would make a good poll, but every time I start to divide it up, it ends up looking like it would have to be 4 or 5 separate polls or something and I give up.
One thing that I learned from reading the lyrics though, is that there were sections that were largely dedicated to rap and reggae artists at the end that were cut from the CD versions. I had an old Skunk Records copy of the 40oz to Freedom cassette though and don't remember those verses being on there.
