They’ve always been … They’ve always been hard to classify. Back then I think most people would have put them as alt or indie. By the 90s they were lumped into grunge a lot. They have some noise rock and a bit of punk depending on the songs. But I don’t think enough that they were ever really primarily classified as either.
You can call them punk if you want, it’s not like they fit into any genre that well. I consider them grunge mostly myself.
I’m not surprised … I’m not surprised it’s d jr’s favourite album. Interesting to know though. it’s an exceptional album even for someone who isn’t particularly into his work.
the guitar alone in … the guitar alone in this song has so much raw emotion, truely one of the greatest records ever made. and i love all kinds of music and bands but this work is on such a higher level than most musicians could hope to reach, not to mention its j’s favorite album hes ever made
sublime sucks … sublime sucks compared to the specials. they arent even a decent ska band , just poppy. dinosaur jr are an amazing underground american band so f*** off!
i firstheard this … i firstheard this song adter i stole the tape when i was about 11 years old.. that was 21 years ago..to this day this is one of the best songs on one of the best albums ive ever heard..
jeez louise… … jeez louise…watched a nirvana vid…commentors are arguing about nickelback….now wathing a dino.jr vid folks are talking about sublime!!
sweet lord…..mongoloids everywhere.
to everyone who is … to everyone who is arguing about sublime and whatnot, and comparing them, first read albertios’s comment. the just listen to the song, and be happy with what you got.
if an album sells … if an album sells millions it has nothing to do with the quality of music it just shows how sublime has comercial songs that can be played to the masses dino jr is preety popular and has a big fan base but its still underground you cant compare the two and is very different genre of music so how is it relevent to compare them
yeah dude, it … yeah dude, it really shows in CD sales, dont it? sublime sold over 17 million worldwide, and dino jr didnt even have any results on CD sales on google, but dino jr is better….right?!? and now ur probaly gonna say some gay like ” who gives a about CD sales” or “actually they sold over 20 million” or ” im a doucebag that likes jumping in other peoples arguments”.
Ha ha,are you a … Ha ha,are you a ing idiot or what? I”m sure Sublime have influenced a lot of bands but nowhere near as many as Dinoaaur Jr.
And yes,ska has been around since the 60′s and ska punk as we know it from the late 80′s although you could argue that The Specials were a ska punk band.
dinosaur jr pretty … dinosaur jr pretty much pioneered the sound of grunge and 90s rock while motley crue and madonina ruled the airwaves. what did sublime do?
