Fishbone. Now there is a band. I'll take Fishbone over both 311 and Sublime anyday.

I saw FIshbone live in the late 80's and got kicked in the head by Angelo Moore when he jumped off the stage to do a little crowd surfing.

**** that guy.

Fishbone mosh pits always so very epic. Never know if it gonna be slam dancin, skanking, head banging, or just plain old funking the **** out.

Fun fact:

Sublimes song Badfish was the first song I ever played in a bar

Toot and the Maytals...

Saw Sublime with Rome last week and they rocked the show. Much better than the first time I saw them.

Also, Slightly Stoopid says hai.

badfish is cool. the rest...meh

None of them hold a candle to Crazy Town bro!

Shhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*t

fyp

Slight Stoopid confirmed awesome

Slightly Stoopid, Sublime, No Doubt (before they became a dance pop band)... they all come from the same scene. Southern California has always had its own unique music culture... I think unique in that the surfer culture has always embraced a variety of styles of music and allowed those styles to merge. Particularly Punk, reggae/ska, Surf music, Latin Musical Styles and rap.

This is why you have interesting things like El Mariachi The Bronx (A metal band that has a side project as a mariachi band).

I think Sublime was one of the first popular bands that successful merged reggae/ska/punk with a hip hop attitude.

While there are a million imitators since, they were pretty innovative at the time. While all the styles that they fuse were all there in that music scene, they were one of the first to really meld all the styles together.

I was busy going to shows in 1995. And seeing bands like the Bosstones and Less than Jake before they sold out.

Less than Jake had some awesome songs... Anybody listened Against me? Another f'ing awesome band that never made it big imo

Just go listen to Pixies. Stuff in this thread is, at best, average and obvious. The Pixies are neither.

lolpixies

GOAT american musician/composer is John Coltrane.

GOAT american musician/composer living is Pat Metheny

I bet there are people ITT who never heard of either of these two

Did they write the duck tales theme song?

Slightly Stoopid were signed by Bradley right before he died. They were still in high school when they got signed to the label.
