Haha, yeah "So Long" is very dark but anyone who's ever been picked on in school can relate to the lyrics for sure as far as fantasizing goes. The video is pretty good as well.

I never said I didn't like sublime.
Thats exactly my point. When I say something is over-rated, it means a lot of people like it, and I don't understand why.

People have always gotten pissed at me because I can't listen to too much of the Beatles, even though I recognize the genius of their music.

thats because you like them a lot.
I don't really. I think they are good, but not much more.
You see my point, yes?
Longbeach Dub Allstars was so much better than Sublime in my opinion, but hardly anyone knows who they were. (which is funny to me, because even some Sublime fans don't know about them)

thats silly.. people only know songs like from 40oz to freedom and second hand smoke..
I love Sublime so much like beyond belief.. If there was one person I could bring back to life it would be Bradley Nowell so I could be a Sublime groupie..

I infuriate just about everyone with all the music I don't like.
The only music I like are songs that give me deep headspace. This can be anything from cheesy Eurodance to way offkey slave music. But almost never alternative rock which leaves me disliking many many bands. Radiohead, Primus, Tool, Muse, Caribou, Saint Ettienne, Led Zeppelin, The Clash, The Who etc..

I can sympathize with this. I like the Beatles, I recognize them as amazing, but some songs I just don't like listening to.

I think Aerosmith and KISS are overrated, but I've never seen anyone get pissed over it. Ironically, I have had people get mad at me for dissing Nickelback. I would've thought their shittiness would be more obvious to people.

Everyone has different tastes. Period. Some people just try to push their tastes on others.
For me: Grateful Dead and The Beatles had some bland ass melodies to accompany their even more mundane vocals. So Led Zep>>>>>>all that jazz, imo.
But for me I need bad ass vocals and bad-ass instrumentals. So it's a question of taste.
How can people be a voice of a generation if they can't fuckin sing a lick? </flame>

I can relate. There are certain artists that I recognize as being extremely talented but don't personally enjoy. That is possible. You can dislike certain music but still respect it.
Using the Beatles as an example, (since you brought it up) some may not like their music but they must admit that they helped lay down the foundation for modern music.

Calling a band overrated is just a way of cutting down people that like them, as if their taste in music is somehow less sophisticated than yours.
Whiskey clones got it right.
Do you critics still trash music like Britney Spears, Nickleback, Jessica Simpson? How about kids songs like the twinkle twinkle little star? Is kid's music overrated? To me, you look just as silly when you trash any band or artist.
Theres no point in talking shit. Get into it and youll find that art is non-dualistic, not Good vs. Bad. It is a monoism of artistic quality. There is quality, and lack there of it.
Its one thing to say you dont like certain music. I can understand the reason in this, sometimes you gotta let people know what you think. But anything more than this is basically rubbing it in. 
When you pursue art without the ego games, without the cultural connotations, as an artist yourself; you learn to pursue the music you like, and ignore/avoid music you dislike. 
So the way I see it, if you trash a band like say radiohead for instance, you will not only look like a moron for the reasons previously mentioned, you also reveal that you have shitty taste in music.:D

Get real high and listen to Terrapin Station... if you haven't already, and if you don't dig the Dead after that, then you probably won't ever
