Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Sublime is a fantastic nostalgia pick for people of a certain age. I haven't listened to it in years, outside of hearing the 3-5 big songs from it on XM Lithium in the car, but it's well known, has a narrative around it, and I'm sure VMP will move a bunch of copies to people who'll get it, listen a couple times, and put it back on their shelf
 
I have no interest in Sublime. Happy to ignore them just as I did in the '90s. But with all this conversation, I got curious and googled the lyrics to that song. Wow. I really wish I hadn't.
As someone who can still rap all the lyrics to Snoop Doggs ā€œAinā€™t No Funā€ and ā€œLodi Dodiā€ I can say people seem to be fairly prudish about some of Sublimeā€™s more juvenile songs/lyrics. These songs were designed to be goofy and outlandish thatā€™s why teenage boys liked them they were dirty jokes with melody.

The owner of They Might Be Giants Flood, for unironic reasons, co-signs this thought.

Also, if you own any RHCP, people in glass houses.....

Youā€™re a dirty joke! Jury is out on melody.

Isn't that what most all of us do with all of our albums because we own way too many to do much else with them?
