With all due respect to Sublime fans, Sublime isn't a reggae or a ska band anymore than the Police were. And the Police played reggae influenced rock better than anyone. Even Rastafarian musicians in Jamaica liked the Police.

Sting and Stewart Copeland had a better understanding of reggae music's drum and bass riddim than any other rock band I've ever heard.
