311

Hey, long time 311 fan here, and was just wondering if there are any 311 fans here. They are by far, one of my favorite bands. If you like ska/punk/reggae/alt. rock you will probably find at least one song you like by them, I'm sure of it.

With the exception of Amber there are not to many good songs by them. I mean if you want real rock reggae music there plenty better out there. Lately I have been listening to a lot of Rebelution. Check them out.

I'm not a huge fan, but they sold out a show back home in Knoxville for this month!

I remember kind of liking their first album, Music, when it came out because at the time it reminded me of Rise Robots Rise but I lost interest in them pretty quickly. By the time they released Transistor I was living with a roommate who was an obsessive fan and who played that album and the self-titled one constantly to the point that I lost all interest in the band.

Yeah , I used to love 311 but I honestly don't think I have heard any of their albums in full just their hit singles which were pretty damn good. My all time favorite 311 song has to be Empire with black eyed peas.....and Down was pretty awesome too

I dug a couple of their tunes way back when. I couldn't be bothered now though. Although, with what Rezz said, Amber is probably the only one I'd listen to given the option.

I love 311. They have a nice mix of everything in their songs.

Music and Grassroots were both really good albums everything after that, uh not so much.

I like the funky stuff, but ska doesn't really do it for me (I know, ska forum)...

Played the crap outta all their cds until the last 2 that came out, never picked those up...not sure why.

I actually bought their newest disc, "Don't Tread On Me" a couple days ago on ebay cause I saw it for pretty cheap. Haven't heard anything off it, but I'm looking forward to checking it out. From what I read its got alot more reggae moments and less rock type stuff...which is fine with me, cause I always thought they did that really well
