"Eclectic" doesn't mean "not played on commercial radio". There's quite a bit of stuff played on here that can be heard on commercial radio...the fact that the song also fits the format of your local ClearChannel station doesn't discount the merits of the music. Either the song is good, or it isn't. Anyway, just my two cents... |

Hmm...I'm completely opposite of you. This is my favorite song of theirs. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. |

Its one of the more accessible songs for a wide audience. The singing seems a bit off key at moments but the un-sterile nature of the band is one of the smaller things that made them appealing. (Unfortunately local radio has played this one to death) |

Would like to vote 1 multiple times. Tuneless, offensive, bad singing. Drum the only good thing. None of those guys in the band would exist without a woman. An unfortunate one, perhaps, but one who suffered so that they might be born. How easily they ignore that.

Thanks much for finally playing some Sublime, it's the first time I've heard RP play it. Please keep it up, they are my favorite group. There's another awesome instrumental version of "Santeria" on their album "Robin the Hood" that I think would be quite RP friendly. much love
toph :p

Sublime is full of FUN music and like nook, I was really sad to find out there would be no more. They covered so many diferent styles of music. I have sooo many memories cooking in my restaurant blaring there music. What a waste
If I had a board (or lived by some surf) I'd go wax too. |

just another reason why i hate drugs with a passion. an overdose silenced this group forever by taking out the lead bubba. too sad. these guys were on their way, and songs like this show the cohesiveness and ability that was going to take them to the top. bummer, think i'll go wax my board.

This one really lives up to the name - SUBLIME. I could listen to this several times a day. It is a rare tune that has that durable quality about it.

Thank you for playing this great song from their monumental self-titled album. Sublime had honed their craft and style to artistic perfection by the time they recorded this. It's a pity it was to be the last thing they would ever record.
