Sublime is much more complex than that. Sublime's lyrics and melding of musical styles provides a rich, complex, and often contradictory insight into the youth culture of LA/Long Beach at the time. The socialogical views embeded in it shed light on interesting dichotomies that exist for many of todays kids/young adults. You could make an entire college course out of analyzing the themes presented in their music and how it reflects upon our society at large.


Yikes

"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...

I don't get why this song is held in such high regard amongst Sublime fans. It's mediocre at best. I love Sublime, but this is one of the crappiest songs they ever did.


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.
