and when was Rancid pop? |

Rancid hit it big with "Ruby Soho" in the nineties, so to say "around 2K1" is a joke.
Not that it even matters.
Nevertheless, if you're voting for Mike Dirnt, your ears deceive you. |

I Doubt that. Rancid's And Out Come the Wolves... is a great album with great bass playing
I Generally like all there stuff from 1990-1997, i haven't listened ot them in a while tho, I probably should...
And yeah - all the descendents bassists were good, but their names slip me - Milo Goes To College is great playing |

Voted Freeman, Dirnt's great in the genre but can't touch Freeman's style. |

Matt Freeman vs. the first bass player from Satanic Surfers makes more sense to me. Speed vs. speed.
Dirnt vs Alvarez would be a good comparison. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: Vernon, B.C. Canada | | The label pop to me doesn't classify things as popular, pop has always been radio rock and such, very mainstream. Thats why I hate titles, the word punk has been dragged through the dirt labeling everything from simple plan to even AC DC  . Emo is another horrible one. What music doesnt have emotion? |
