| Brett sez: Most likely my favorite band of all time. Do I need to elaborate further? Formed in 1988 as a garage-punk band, Sublime evolved into one of the sweetest mixtures of sound you will ever hear. Brad was a true genious, mixing punk, reggae, dub, rock, and rap (to name a few) to make a sound that just brings people together for the united cause of having a good time. Sadly, Bradley Nowell died in May 1996, two months before the album "Sublime" would help them achieve mainstream success. I never had the opportunity to see Sublime play live. Any album you can get your hands on is good, but most people prefer 40OZ to Freedom. Sublime lives on in a new form today, that of the Long Beach Dub All Stars, which includes Bud and Eric from Sublime with a new cast of talented musicians. |
