Today is February 22nd, which means it’s Bradley Nowell from Sublime‘s birthday. If he was still living, the guy who sang “What I Got” and “Santeria” would have turned 45 today.
In celebration, I’ve compiled videos from some of our editors/readers’ favorite bands like Pennywise, Fishbone, No Use for a Name and Guttermouth covering songs originally performed by the dude from Long Beach himself. Some of the songs are taken from the Sublime tribute albums Look at All the Love We Found and Forever Free, released in 2005 and 2006 respectively. No Doubt‘s cover version of “DJ’s” is taken from their 1997 live DVD Live From the Tragic Kingdom, while Reel Big Fish‘s cover version of “Boss DJ” is taken from their 2002 album Cheer Up.
Click here to check ‘em out and enjoy! Happy birthday, Brad! We miss you, but your legacy will continue to live on.

Happy birthday, Mr. Nowell! Too bad he never got the recognition he deserved or never got a chance to express how big Sublime was getting when their self-titled album came out after he died.
Happy birthday, Mr. Nowell! I wish you were around to make some more Sublime music.
What, no [spunge]?
