See, maybe we can get along after all (unless you were being sarcastic). I do think Sublime would have been huge.

I love Sublime but lets face it, they were only for a selected group and I'm not sure how many more top 40 radio hits they had in them ( could have been a lot, who knows ).

The biggest part of their legacy is that Nowell died at an early age.

Great band IMO.

Here are my top 3 tracks:
1. The Kids
2. Airplanes pt. 2
3. Magic

But I think the album is solid as a whole -- I'll give it a 4/5 -- and it is one that I would definitely recommend to anyone. The only song I find myself skipping over consistently is "Fame".

He will win grammys. Mark it down. Album is just what you said, "silly good"

I agree with this.

(I'm now responding to the poster that thinks I am obsessed with MLB)

I'm not overly into MLB -- indeed, it's tough to be overly into MLB because, like Sublime, they were dead pretty much as soon as they were alive -- but I just don't think you're giving them enough credit. I think they could have been great, and I think Andrew Wood had a great voice, but we'll just never know.

All that being said, if the subject is "bands that ushered in the grunge era", I don't see how MLB isn't the centerpiece of the syllabus.

You said they were dead. Yep, yeh they were.

He'll win more than one for sure. But I'm kinda indifferent on that as I think the grammy is a heavily flawed award (Bob Dylan could record 74 minutes of armpit-farts, slap it onto a cd, and I'm nearly certain he'd get a grammy nomination out of it).

After reading the grunge argument it made me think of some old Seattle bands(I think they were a Seattle band??) I haven't listened to in a while. I found this one.

Blood Circus
Tad

Actually Dylan is extremely unsuccessful at the Grammys, especially considering his enormous volume of work. I don't think he even won one until like 1980. Neil Young got his very first one this year. I personally think Grammys suck, though. Beyonce's won like 12 of them for songs with 2 measures of music on a loop and less than 20 total words for lyrics.

My problem with them is that they tend to be more about cumulative recognition than determining what's good and what isn't. Artist X might put out an incredibly good first album, get a strong following, then put out a weaker second album and win the grammy on that one.

I don't put much stock into it as a worthwhile barometer. It is what it is.
