I like how Pete Droge forged a long singing career without developing the ability to sing.

Travolta in ... Phenomenon. Ginger missed an opportunity to play Crapton's "Change the World", but "I have the Touch" is more clever, if you've seen the flick..

WOS Tracy Chapman. Zzzzzzzzzzzz....
-
This Sublime track is the first one in the set I actually heard at the time.
-
WOS2 Sublime -- I never "got" them and never will.
-
Matchbox when they were "20" and not "Twenty". Either way, WOS Three.
-
Phish-heads, Phish-heads, roly-poly Phish-heads... eat 'em up -- YUM!
WOS4 Phish, "Free" -- this is a seriously snoozy set today.

I like this Phish enough to give it a VHM.

Geez you guys!

Sublime = low-life white guys trying to be black
Phish = DUUUUDE! let's try to be the Dead! DUUUUDE!

yikes, now it's sub-par Sting.

Finally something I enjoy: BOS to Jamiroquai's Stevie Wonder mimickry on "Virtual Insanity."
-
Normally I'd dis Jamiroquai as a Stevie Wonder knockoff (which he certainly is), but this is actually the best of a painful lot today. BOS.

Stevie Wonder JINX!
Jamiroquai : Stevie Wonder :: Lenny Kravitz : Hendrix/Beatles/EWF.

This Shawn Colvin is new to me. Not that it matters.

Jamiroquai : Stevie Wonder :: Lenny Kravitz : Hendrix/Beatles/EWF.
Sublime : RHCP :: Phish : Dead :: Jamiroquai : Stevie Wonder :: Lenny Kravitz : Hendrix
I think these guys are all far more similar than they are different. Not arguing about taste, but if you can appreciate a good Stevie homage, why the hate for the others?

Because "good" is the operative word there.
(PS: To be fair, I like a few Sublime songs, especially "Santeria." But Phish can go phphphphphphade away.)

Well, I said Jamiroquai was the best of a bad lot -- in a diff set (and wearing different, even more ill-fitting crankypants) I might've WOS'd it. There's "homage" and then there's slavish imitation. In '96 I'd've also said Matchbox 20 : Hootie, so we had 4 artists in one set trying to sound like somebody else. (5 if you go with Tracy Chapman : Joan Armatrading).

My thoughts:
Sublime - most artistically individual among these four, really the only one that staked out new territory. You don't like that territory, I won't argue.
Jamiroquai - good quality stuff, but ultimately a flash in the pan & he didn't croak off like Brad Nowell, so we really *can* hold this against him.
Lenny K. - some good quality stuff, but unlike both artists above produced far more output, and a lot of it turned out to be mediocre.
Phish - most unfairly misjudged here, they never sought to be compared to the Dead, but they achieved a version of their success and the media didn't know what to do with it, so they just labeled them as Dead wannabee's.
