Naw. Reel Big Fish takes more from 3rd/4th wave ska bands. I think Reel Big Fish have sounds that are more in common with Operation Ivy because they have a mixture of punk and ska (by the way I think Reel Big Fish is nowhere near as good as Operation Ivy, but that's my opinion). The Urge on the other hand is more of an alternative rock band with horns. Both Reel Big Fish and The Urge use horns but I think they sound very different stylistically.

Nice take Weezer. I like the Reel Big Fish a lot, but Operation Ivy is very good as well. I'm going to see the fish on New Year's Eve with the VooDoo Glow Skulls, Zebrahead, and a lot more. I can't wait to bring in the new year.

Actually The Urge and Reel Big Fish both started releasing CDs the same year; 1995. They were both part of that pop/ska movement, but ultimately share style and don't really rip one another off.

Besides that, they do have a fairly different sound even though they share the same genre.

Now Dubya, don't be talking about shit you don't know about. You'll be the first one I ask about how to vote a complete moron to run our country, but believe me, we know what we're talking about here.

I met The Urge, when they were touring master of styles. My godsister was dating the singer, ok, ok dont remember his name, someone spot me. Now they hit the right soundbuds for me, not so much back in middle school.

Yeah, no denial of The Urge being the shit.

As for the little song debate, they're both pretty good.

Back on to the real topic however, that's a load of shit if I ever saw one. I totally 100% agree with Break that the ESPN games are not only good sports games, but they're just fun games to play. I'm not a huge sports fan. Other than the occasional NFL game, I could care less about sports. Upon getting my free copy of the first NFL 2K game with my DC though, I got a little more into football games. I tried Madden on the newer consoles and hated it, never liked it to begin with really. As far as I'm concerned, ESPN NFL 2K5, the original NFL Blitz, and Techmo Bowl are the only football games I ever need.

I wonder if EA will be even more greedy and try and grab the MLB and NHL licenses too. Bastards. I wonder what Sega's NFL team will do now.

Actually they're trying for that now as well...
