Ok so here is my top 10, since everybody is doing it. 1. transistor 2. grassroots 3. evolver 4. soundsystem 5. uplifter 6. music 7. blue album - self titled 8. don't tread on me 9. disc from the enlarged to show detail video 10. from chaos By the way you gotta hook me up with some of this random stuff JPP.
People talk about how SA and Nick are growing apart in their styles... but fuckin' P-Nut has been keeping it funky in every song they play. I love him, especially live when he gets the crowd going. Amazing entertainers. Their "worst" (if it's possible) album is still better than the best of most of the new shit that's coming out these days.
@rob311fan No, these were stolen by someone, and they felt like it wouldn't be fair to just release an album full of stuff we have already heard, and I agree - I'd take this over "Waiting" any day.
@Yougimpytube Well, the instrumental is cool. DTOM will likely be the last time that the drum tone is truly Chad Sexton (the drum tone now is terrible). However, paired with some of the worst lyrics I've ever heard (they committed one of the worst crimes known to lyricists... rhyming together and forever) and bland, emotionless delivery of said lyrics, this song goes down as one of the worst to me.
@JPPraterCO08 ageed...sadly since evolver theres plenty of wack lyrics,also some shitty music too...who wouldve thought a band with so much talent would reduce the elements that made them famous...funk,jazz,heavy metal riffs,the rapping,the reggae..all of that took a backseat to stupid beach ballads and extra soft radio choruses,oohhh and oohhs and na na nas....fuck that bullshit,its time to come full circle original and stop the bloated bubble gum garbage...heres an album about my island...wack
I never understood making music about who is best.... you either like it or you don't.... it isn't a sport with a winner or loser it is music..... if you don't like it then don't listen to it.
How about this 1. Grassroots 1. Uplifter 1. DTOM 1. From Chaos 1. Evolver 1. Greatest Hits 1. Live 1. Sound System 1. Blue 1. Music 1. Omaha Sessions 1. Transistor
Music Hydroponic.. Ever since then I have been a fan.. I saw them first in Utah 93 they opened for Oingo Boingo... It was the Grass Roots Tour.... Me and about twenty of my homies.. Needless to say we left after Three Elevens set. We had two condo's to go party hard at.. It was in Park City... We were poor kids.. No way were we going to waist the money we spent on the Condo's. I have seen them many times since. One show that I will never forget was at a little club in Salt Lake
1. blue 2. grassroots 3. transistor 4. soundsystem 5. DTOM 6. from chaos 7. music 8. uplifter 9. evolver just did that quick theyre all so close but those are def my top 3..i think its a good thing that ever fan has their own favorites instead of having a few specific best efforts
I love 311. this song kicks ass. Wandering Around is kick ass. 1.Transistor 2.Omaha Sessions 2, Grassroots 3. Blue 4. Music 5. Evolver 6. Soundsystem 7. From Chaos 8. DTOM 9. Uplifter
Dude!!! Where are all of y'all with Soundsystem!? That's 1st for me, DEFINITELY.. Then Transistor, then Uplifter actually, then blue, from chaos, then blue, then grassroots
@ThatGuy291 waiting is one of those songs that you hear and you think nothing of it...then 3 days later you randomly find yourself singing it and its stuck in your head
wow that is exactly how I would number my fav albums raumbus... actually i might switch transistor and blue... maybe... depending on my mood, but sky is right each album is unique in it's own way. 311 4 life.
Soundsystem, Grassroots, Blue, Music. They're all great, yes even DTOM, But you're all crazy if you are a 311 fan and don't think Transistor is the best. Makes me feel like I'm in space...
oh man...I got to hear the full version before it got cut from the album and that little break down after the first verse was a SICK rap....I can't describe it..it was so great. I wanted that song on the album just for that rap. Wish I could could elaborate more
311 is incredible....by far the best live band in alternative rock/reggae history...that said ...this song sucks, and im glad it wasn't on the album. I always wondered how they justified putting "Waiting" on DTOM. after hearing this i know why they chose Waiting. I still love 311, but every fan is entitled to their opinion, and this is mine. (of this song). Can't wait for them to come to philly and Rock on the Docks at Penns landing!
feels like nick and sa have been growing apart considering Sa gets all the rap parts and nicks sings the melodies. They used to be "sick tight", sharing beats and all, now it feels like theyre dividing up the styles.... atleast this is what it seems like... i hope im not the onyl one with this feeling
