I know. You'd think a band that has sold millions of records and sells out shows all over the country consistently for almost 15 years would be known by more people, but strangely, they're not. My wife didn't know who they were when I met her.

I was a freshman in high school in 1995 and they were HUGE so I guess they are "old" to the current generation of teenagers. Fuck it, they'll always be the most important band to me.

to the comment about the radio exposure; for the first like, 8 years 311 was on the scene, they played them on the radio so fucking much, that i got sick of them, and only now have been able to start listening to them again. to me THAT is weird. they used to get toooooo muuuuuch radio play, and now you never hear it any more. what is up with that? dont get me wrong, i love 311, but to me they will always be the "easy listening" version of sublime. maybe thats because im 34 i cant say why....

@RicksonByArmbar I've been listening to them since I was born, over 15 years ago :D Gotta love having brothers who show you awesome music

Coda is such a beautiful little song... it really cheers me up when I hear it. This is the best band on the planet right now. Their live shows are life changing experiences. P-Nut is one of the best entertainers alive. The way he can manipulate a crowd and his bass while making audio love to our ears is some sort of super power. God damn I love this band!

@RicksonByArmbar Agreed, they are surprisingly underrated. I've been listening to them since I was 12, and I've never met anyone who had even heard of them. If I had to guess, though, I would say their lack of exposure might have something to do with the diversity of their sound - the popular radio stations only like to play the most generic crap, so a band that mixes a bit of everything won't fit the mould.
