Er, I didn't know that this was your radio station. The way you're talking, I guess you must have taken over RP from Bill & Becky, as otherwise you'd have seriously misunderstood the nature and purpose of this station. I suggest that you read the fine home page...

I can't speak to the rest of their catalog, but I still thoroughly enjoy this whole album, while a lot of the other tunes I was listening to at the turn of the millennia have not held up for me at all.  

I wonder if they still have a turntablist in their band.  Do any pop acts still do that?

I heard about 60 seconds of this. It sounds like a clone of the Red Hot Chillie Poopers.

I have to disagree with the haters and say I like this...I bet they're big fans of Pearl Jam.

Ditto.  This takes me back to the days when I would have "mainstream corporate rock radio" turned on.

This IS a great song.  Unfortunately, I have the album, and the rest is suck -ubus.  Pretty bad.

I know, I know, it's been played to death on mainstream radio. But see, I don't listen to that, so I still like this song! It's a really well-crafted pop tune, not the kind of thing I usually like, but there's no accounting for personal taste is there?

I seem to recall that the best thing about this video was the hot lead singer with his shirt off.

I saw them live a few months back and was wholly unimpressed. I will concede, however, that this concert took place at the Waikiki Shell, a venue that would make a Beatles reunion unappealing. What i'm trying to say is that the Shell is a terrible place to watch a show.

Wow, very surprised to hear this on RP.  We play a number of songs from their early albums before they became 'accepted'.  Definitely the most radio friendly of their tunes.

Used to play this with my buddy Kim, her singing lead and me strumming and harmonizing. She moved away and I haven't played much since. Miss those days.

Incubus is a newer band that can rocck hard but still understands what music and melody is. The singer sings instead of most new bands, where the singer feels obligated to, at least once or twice during the song, yell so loud that you think his tonsels are going to fly out of his throat.

I really liked the video they did with the flying Hitler and Jesus. That was the best video I had seen in quite some time, followed by the great Franz Ferdinand video with the old school boxers punching each other. Loved both of them.

It's a very creative, experimental piece masquerading as boring commercial rock in an effort to be ironic. Really. It is. (Generally I'm not so negative, but I really really don't like this song. So I'll switch to my MP3s for now. ;))

I admit, I'm a little surprised to hear this song on RP, but what the hell, variety means just that--playing all sorts of music. And for the record, I like this one too.

I heard this song on the radio before I was familiar with Incubus, and thought it sounded like Stone Temple Pilots. Drive is a radio friendly hit, not Incubus's most intricate or experimental, but certainly from a band much more eclectic and a lot less monotonously tiring than STP! If you like Rage Against the Machine, check out Incubus's S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album.

i find your lack of interest in this song very strange based on your past rating history. i believe there is something more about this group that you (and your peers) disagree with, not so much the song itself.
the tell it like it is, in your face attitude for example.
turn it up and let your hair down for a change.

Terrestrial radio is not the only one guilty of over-play of this song. This song has been played here waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many times as well.

Which really sucks. I used to like this song a lot.
