The thing about Peep is,he was inspired by a lot of MCR's music. And he inspired a lot of other New young artists. I love it.

Now that you said you like sublime I know that deep down you truly love ska, Finn ❤

Im so glad you mentioned Badfish because I haven’t met anyone who really appreciated that song so I finally have some company in being a fan. Also speaking of Sublime and Descendents, Hope is one of my faves, and Sublime was my gateway to the original

Sublime is such a heavily underrated band. They drew from so many different styles- punk, reggae, psychedelic rock, hip-hop. They could sing about the pain of addiction, or the joy of surfing... Or they could sing about the cops and start a motherfu*king riot lol.

When it comes to Sublime, I agree that there is a lot of great songwriting throughout their discography, but I was always partial to the more experimental elements found on Robbin’ the Hood.

I listened to Start Today for the first time back in the summer after Finn talked about it in a previous video, and its been on repeat on my spotify and quickly became one of my favorite albums. The title track and "first failure" really spoke to me. As someone who's struggled with procrastination and a lot of negative self-talk since I was really young, those two songs in particular, especially first failure, really hit home to me. Especially when I think back on some of my best achievements throughout my life, they came after a lot of failure and persevering and not giving up after messing up once. Even now, when I mess up on something I can hear those songs playing in the back of my head sometimes lol and it reminds me that I'm not a failure just cause I messed up on one thing.

Glad I’m not the only ALL fan! I remember first hearing that album long after hearing everything else Descendents had done… It took me so long because I was confused and thought it was a split album or full album by ALL the band, who I had already determined I didn’t care much for. But I heard Clean Sheets somewhere and was like “Where did this best Descendents song ever come from?!” I feel like ALL is a kind of under appreciated album, and your commentary was right on!

100% agree about Sublime!!! Happy ska and raggae music with dark, dark, dark, lyrics about addiction and self-loathing, about how self-loathing often leads to addiction. Bradley's voice is amazing and he's under-recognized as a great singer with a super emotional delivery. The songs "Garden Grove" and "Pawn Shop" will nearly make you cry once you get what he's really singing about.

Completely agree with all the album choices on this list!! Especially sublime’s 40 oz to freedom, very misunderstood album that addresses addiction extremely well.

All 3 of the big Sublime albums are absolutely fantastic. My personal favorite is Robbin the Hood. The experimental moments are great.

Kieth Morris has never appeared on a bad record. Every band he’s fronted is top notch. All time king of punk.

That Peep album blew my ears off when I first heard it. Consistently listen to Better off dying, Awful things etc very often

Sublime really stands out. Sublime rules.

Two of the first albums I thought when you mentioned the prompt were START TODAY and 40 OZ., so good on ya.

I just watched through these videos and I definitely agree on City of Evil (One of the all time greatest albums ever released.), All Killer No Filler and As Daylight Dies. I'd also argue for All That Remains' This Darkened Heart and The Fall of Ideals, Gojira's L'Enfant Sauvage, Atreyu's The Curse, Bad Religion's No Control, Disillusion's Back to Times of Splendor, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory, pretty much anything Pendulum have ever released, Rise Against's Revolutions Per Minute, Trivium's Ascendancy and Unearth's Watchers of Rule

The song Badfish is about alcoholism . My prof is he says “ two pints of booze 🥃 are you a bad fish too”.It’s been a saying “he drinks like a fish.

IOWA Calculating infinity - Dillinger Doris - Earl sweatshirt Everything’s for sale - west side boogie imprint - VOD paradigm in entropy - Bleed the sky 1984 - Alix Perez There is nothing left to loose - foo fighters miasma - black dahlia murder Worship and tribute - glassjaw all 10s

I have a Black Flag logo tattoo But I had a 3rd shift job unloading dogfood pallets, Wherein I listened to all (torrented) Henry spoken word/audiobook/"standup"? Over and over for like 3 years. Like 18 fuckin albums worth of spoken shit, I was obsessed lol. I also listened to the Jello spoken stuff just as much :)

Lil Peep love, I appreciate this so much. Didn’t know which album you’d have given a 10 of his, but when you said no skips I automatically thought of COWYS 1. Just really happy to see some appreciation for this man’s music 5 years on from his passing, he’s helped a of people including myself.

So true regarding peep and "U SAID" - when i heard the 2nd half of that song it clicked for me too. Previously dismissed as emo and lame kid music then it was like oh there's something special here

Turnstile is basically cloning Gorilla Biscuits

Badfish was written before Bradley ever did heroin. I think it's about alcohol but I could be wrong. But I know for a fact it's not about his struggle with heroin

It throws me for a loop when you've already gotten into the topic, but the ad cut says, "But first."

Sublime is 🔑

This is How the Wind Shifts by Silverstein is a 10/10. Best concept album I’ve heard so far. Saosin’s Self titled is Amazing too

Emmure & Limp Bizkit should've gone on tour 2023

There are so many albums I love start to end but they are all older albums. Newer albums all seem to be about singles. Or maybe I am just missing out on some of the newer stuff.

Minor threat I feel is also a positive hardcore band, the lyrics to stand up promote friendship

Never hear Emmure before getting some strong A Day to Remember vibes w/ their heavier riffs w/ that first clip. Not sure who came first though

Nailed it with the GB comments. Great band. Great album.

It has always been in my mind, that D.R.I. and Descendents are very similar, yet separated in genre.

Lil peep is ome of my fav artists ever. COWYS PT 1 isnt my fav at all but appreciate that you love him as an artist

The 3 albums of Sublime could be 10/10. Even Robin the hood, if you listen carefully its amazing album.

Lil Peep is incredible. Still listen to him everyday. Legend 🙌

Love that Emmure album !!!

I'm a big Sublime fan and Badfish is my favourite song of theirs too. :)

Gorilla biscuits - things we say!! My fav gorilla biscuits track of all time

I'm so glad you brought up how hard it is to play chugs tightly. There's no room for error. If you fuck up playing a bunch of notes, most people won't notice because so much is going on. If even one person is slightly off playing chugs, the whole band sounds like fucking garbage. Simple shit is hard to play because it HAS to be perfect.

Rancid - …And Out Come the Wolves

Loose Nut is another perfect Black Flag album. Never skip a track when I listen to this…

When Phineas likes a band that mixes nu metal and deathcore, you know he's being honest. I think most people hate them because they're "supposed to," like a validation card rather than the music being bad. Some is, in literally every genre, but unless you don't like common traits, parading it around that you hate something comes off as more insecure and pretentious than liking it sometimes.

“It’s like the new Limp Bizkit” yeah except that song is actually decent

The drummer you gave props to in that Emmure video is no longer playing for them and is now the drummer for Spite

Finally some else who listens to the lyrics of Sublime

I think it's 'Come over when your sober' by Lil Peep

Exploited are from my home town and are underrated but can't find any punk bands of that quality.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II

I always wonder what peep could've done if he didn't pass so soon. I feel like he was on the brink of becoming big, and I think he could've done so much more.

Something that is underrated or unacknowledged about peep is his homophonic rhyming. It’s almost like broadway musicals, or, as much as I hate to compare them, Eminem. It made his songs really flow and feel like he was speaking to you while also singing/rapping. It’s one of the things that separates a lot of great lyricists (like Eminem or the legendary playwright Stephen Sondheim) from good ones. “Let me go, I’m spending time not doing fine but I’m doing fine” This is an example of something that should only rhyme once, but the way he delivers it makes it sound like he’s rhyming nearly every other word. Truly a special talent indeed, and gone way too soon. It really felt like he was only getting better as his career went on.

The skater is Andy Roy

A lesson in romantics is 10/10 for sure

When Finn uploads, that's a great day.

Surface Noise by Judiciary is an absolute 10/10 no skips album for hardcore.

Emmure!! They get so much hate,but I've been listening to them since 2010..

Emmure has 3 perfect albums

Great choices. Sublime's 40oz was a vital staple for my formative years. Gotta say my only 10 or perfect record is Alice in Chains's Jar of Flies. As I get older I enjoy that album more and more.

Wormwood by The Acacia Strain is absolutely a 10/10 no skips album

Black flag with Rollins is the best version😴

Established titles is the new raid: shadow legends

I love Lil Peep...and I'm a metalhead. He was a special dude.

Operation Ivy Energy!!!

Peep sampled brand new a couple times

I was never a fan of punk, I'm more into metal, metalcore, deathcore, death metal but I respect your opinion

Picking 80's HC or Punk is the hipster equivalent of picking a Dadrock album like Master of Reality or Zeppelin 2. BoomerFinn.

Yep. Gorilla Biscuits and Lifetime were pioneers

Just curious where you would rate Those Who Fear Tomorrow

I wish I still had my cd of the first four years :,(

Been hooked on Sublime since 2001 when I was 15. #1 Band to date

Good list here Finn. Thank you for covering Sublime, i'm releasing a documentary on them in 2023. Bradley Nowell was one of the worst loses of the entire music industry. He was one of the rare greats with a proven IQ on paper of over 140 even by the time he was 13 years old, by 25 he was no doubt a full blown Genius. (this was stated in his biography by a private school program) He was deeply invested in academic philosophical studies before he dropped out of college to pursue Sublime full time. He read countless books like Nietzsche on his free time. One of the reasons for trying heroin was a very deep party culture in the 80s but underneath the veil it was his insecurity with his own creativity in music, which ultimately lead to his depression and search for existential meaning of life. Their music was undoubtably Raw, Unfiltered, Unapologetic, Energetic, Boundless, Painful, and Beautiful. People will not realize until decades later that Sublime is one of the most influential and greatest bands of all time.

Hellboy was a 10/10 peep album/mixtape as well

I'd give Hellboy a 10 over COWYS but I love both

Off the top of my head: 1) slipknot - Iowa; 2) MCR - the black parade; and 3) oasis - what’s the story morning glory. Zero skips.

For 77' punk The Dead boys " young loud and snotty " , were virthed out of rock bands and solidified into a total kickass band. I wish they been able to tour with ACDC. And AIC, " dirt", duh😊

I will forever be sad ,peep was literally about to be the next biggest thing right when he passed away. I'm talking drake mainstream big, such a heartbreak.

I'm actually shocked that sublime hit your list. I am unapologetic about my love for 40 oz to freedom

Commit this to Memory - Motion City Soundtrack

GB is great and lead to Quicksand.

Hopefully you said this 10,000 times and I’m just a horrible listener because man do I love being a horrible listener-have you done a video on Dillinger Four.

established titles got you too, eh.

Juan Alderete and I forgot the other dudes name jammed in the studio and they where they turned into beats. Smokeasac talks a little bit about it.

Hearing you mention peep and bones just made my day man Kudos

I loved this and have some new to me music to check out. I appreciate the way you talked about Badfish, definitely not just a dumb garage party song. Now do a 311 video- please 😄

Bad fish bass line is like floating in Hawaii and slowly leaving the shore

im so glad someone FINALLY gave 40 oz to freedom the praise it deserves. Brad (singer) was a fucking legend

Nah Lil peep pt1 is a 10

brh fr fantanoo shits on lil peep , while i love peep and the vibe but i agree to fantanoo on the fact that his lyrics are random and is not like crazy good but the vibe is cool its more of my guilty pleasures

I cheat on my favorite sublime album as you did on black flag. Mine is Gold as it is all their albums in one and there's not one song on any of them that sucks.

Im late ima late! Fuck yeah! Black Flag. Shit happens. How about DK ?

Sublime's Robbin the hood always cuts so deep with so many squeezing suffering songs of watching Bradley slip. The line "one day I'm gonna lose the war" in pool shark always hurts my heart. Badfish is also one of my favorites since you brought it up, my 40 oz to freedom CD had a skip in it during the first minute during the line "but I'm a parasite" and always skipped at the word parasite making it "para-ah-asite" and now I can't listen to the song without the skip, even when I burned the CD to my computer for my mp3 player (Jesus I feel old 😭) the skip stayed in the CD on the file so I just became so accoustomed to it (this skip also cut out the whole last half of 5446 that's my number/ ball and chain also)

GB is from 89 and you're right it's FLAWLESS

LIL PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPP

40oz to Freedom was 1992, their 1994 album was Robbin tha Hood which is probably their hardest to listen to record because it was literally recorded in a drug house in the midst of a binge and the songs that came out of those sessions (save for Saw Red) are just a complete mess and its really sad. Bradley passed in 1996 right before their self-titled album came out, they were just barely starting their tour cycle for it. It's hard for me to choose between 40oz and their self-titled as to which ones better, i think both are 10/10's and i still rotate both CD's regularly, absolutely incredible shit

"Lord Finn Mckenty of the Clan Mckenty" has a cool ring to it.

Finn come on man. How are you seriously running Established Titles ads? Didn't you hear it's all a lie?

of course there would be some flash in the pan with "lil" in the name And "Bad Fish"? Really? Does that come with puka shells and white folks dreadlocks with the burnout starter pack?

Problem with Gorilla Biscuits is the vocalist’s voice sounds 14 yrs old.

LUV GORILLA BUSCUITS

Bradley was a musical genius. I am a producer/musician myself, and this guy heard melodies in his head and took other songs and made them his own. Lots of people try and clown Sublime calling them a glorified cover band, but Bradley was just taking bits and pieces of all the music he loved and wanted to share with others, and put them in his own songs. There is a pretty clear cut trajectory of the type of music you possibly get into from Sublime: roots reggae, punk, 80's/90's hiphop, ska, dub, alt rock, etc. Rewind Selector is an amazing resource for diehard Sublime fans, basically showing you where Brad got his inspirations from. I hate when people clown them and pigeonhole them to a college frat boy stoner band because like you said Finn, their music is a lot deeper than what you hear on the surface. Bradley inspired me to play guitar back in 97-98 when I was 10. He will always be my musical hero next to Brian Wilson. RIP Bradley

COWYS is a great album but I don’t think it’s anywhere near as good as some of his earlier tapes, Hellboy, crybaby and especially lil peep part one all mop the floor with COWYS.
