My Oldies

There are some bands, songs and music out there that will always be classic to me. I'm not saying it's “classic” music, or classic rock, it's just classic to me. Bands like Sublime, Incubus, Sum 41 and Red Hot Chili Peppers will always be music that I love to listen to. It never gets old, never has, never will. When it comes to Sublime, how can you NOT love them? For those of you who don't know, the greatest tribute band to them is Badfish. They come around to Lupo's in Providence pretty often, and I always try to go, but it's never worked out. Incubus and Sum 41 are bands with the kind of music you just feel the need to jam out to. I have a friend who, whenever “Fat Lip” comes on, goes completely insane, and I join right in. I've been on a big RHCP kick lately—this is one of those bands that holds many memories for me. My favorites of their songs include “Can't Stop” and “Dani California,” currently my ringtone. Other bands, like The Starting Line, The Spill Canvas and Say Anything, started my taste in music when I was about fourteen years old, and I will never stop listening to them.
