Happy to join you on the record re: sublime. Forgot when I was doing mine - definitely would have been in contention.

Maria’s Little Elbows is my favourite song of all time.
Which always pains me as I’ll choose Vivadixie as my desert island disc without fail.

Haven’t listened to Sublime in a loooong time, but there was a period when I properly loved them.

Yeah, it’s been awhile for me too with Sublime, but I think their music holds up. He was so good at so many different styles and was one of the best at covering songs. Don’t think he gets nearly enough credit for his guitar playing (his solos were really expressive and seemed very carefully arranged) and how interestingly so many of their songs unfold. There’s a lot going on, it’s a shame they get dismissed as frat rock.

Always thought this was a very underrated one from 40 oz to Freedom.

Yeah, that’s my favorite song of his too, I love it so much. I think it’s one of the most special songs by anyone. I’m always going on and on about how magical The Smashing Pumpkins are, and I think that’s the single song by another artist that best captures what I try and struggle to convey.

Just noticed that no one (including me) mentioned Serge Gainsbourg.

I totally forgot about him. He probably would have just cracked my top 10.

Could have easily made my top 5, just too many options.
