Everyone knows that one. I was talking more about style than melodies.

Clearly Sublime weren't anything groundbreaking. 311 did that kinda thing better.

I guess it depends on what Paloma meant by ripping off, did she mean straight up stealing melodies and riffs and sh*t. Well that wasn't what I thought she meant.

I just don't see how being influenced by a lot of bands make you unoriginal especially if you mix all that together to create your own style. Maybe that isn't what Sublime did and they directly ripped off some band I haven't heard.

But The Clash were certainly original and I hate when people call them a ripoff and then cite as proof by listing all their f*cking influences which is goddamn retarded.
