just a few things: My absolute favorite band is 311 also. They are better than everyone!! I love pez too. pineapples are my favorite fruit too. I'm kinda obsessed with them.
"52. i hate it when people do retarded stuff to get attention, like making suicide threats (I’m talking about the people that talk about it all the time or put suggestive away messages, but they know they’re not gonna do anything…)" -gah. me too!! it's really dumb.
I think "what is/are your favorite 311 song/songs?" is a question that's impossible for me to answer...there are absolutely too many to name, it just all depends on the mood.
that's very true... but that's why I said "what are SOME of your favorite songs?" and you're right a lot of it depends on one's mood... but there's a perfect 311 song for every mood... and yeah... :P
exactly. same here...there are way too many,a nd depending on my mood, I get really into different songs and even specific albums (like lately, it's transistor)...and once I start, I'll probably never stop talking about them...
So true...Transistor is probably the "chill" album for me (except Jupiter...become one of my favorites recently)...but it all just depends. Although, I've found that Evolver is probably the most "complete" listen, it just seems to cover everything to me...
Evolver is really great like that. There's songs to cover pretty much any mood I'm in. I was totally rocking out to creatures when I first heard it. I love "beyond the gray sky" and "seems ucertain" like right before I go to sleep (heh.when I actually sleep)lately. Now that I think about it, I really like soundsystem for a "complete" listen lately. I've had Transistor in my car a lot recently. I like driving to it...probably because the music puts me in a sort of mellow, positive mood.
Yeah, but the thing is, when I first got into 311 I was only into the heavy and fast stuff, so during my first few listens to Evolver I was really turned off by Beyond the Gray Sky and Seems Uncertain...and I wouldn't even listen to Sometimes Jacks Rule the Realm...but as I grew more and more attached to the slower music. Now I love that whole album, sometimes I'll go through several days of driving where I just leave it in my car and listen to it 3-4 times through.
You know, I honestly thought Soundsystem was their weakest album...like, I just don't like "Leaving Babylon"...I mean, it's definite quality ("Livin' and Rockin'" is one of my favorites from any album), but just compared to the other ones I think it's just not quite up to par with the rest of them. You know, awesome if it were by another band, but on 311 standards, not quite so.
But um...yeah, I could go on forever here so I'm gonna stop.
I have always loved the heavy and fast stuff, as well as the slower stuff. I think I've always liked the contrast. You know, different songs for different moods and all..
Evolver is definitely their strongest album, in my opinion. I'm partial to Soundsytem because I have a lot of memories that I associate with that album. I won't get into, it's basically mostly to do with good memories and emotions that I associate with certain songs. Okay, I think I'll stop too, because I always go on forever once I get into it.
Oh man, if I start talking about my favorite songs, I'll probably never stop... I've been into them for such a long time, and there's sooo many things I could say. A lot of my favorites are from Transistor. Lately, that's my favorite album. Electricty, no control, jupiter, and all those songs...really, I love the feel and lyrics of that whole album. "stay positive and love your life" haha, I remember when they were making from chaos and I freaked out when I found out they were writing a song called "amber," because that's my name. Really, I will go on forever once I start..
I see your point... I guess I'm the same way too... Dustin I'm so glad ur finally getting into transistor since u never did before... I kind of go through cycles too... right now i'm going through a little soundsystem phase.... eons, sever, livin and rockin, large in the margin.... amber is such an awesome song... when i first bought from chaos and i listened to amber that was my fav song on there
heh. I'm listening to soundsytem right now. After you said that, I decided to pop it into my cd player. I loved they way they had everything set up the first time I saw them play amber and champagne live. They did the whole bubbles thing for champagne, and the lighting and all the effects were just really great. They're just amazing live though- I'm sure anyone will agree. I really love the extended drum solo they all do...that's one of my fav parts of the shows I've been to.
