Jewmanda,
I remember hearing and instantly loving Incubus' "Pardon Me," and specifically I remember thinking how freaking ancient I would be when I turned 23. Well, I'm less than three months away from being 28. Screw you, Brandon Boyd. Actually, well... anyway, I'll just leave that there. :)
So I still pretty much love Incubus. They aren't as consistent as they used to be, and I think my tastes have matured, but the aforementioned "Dig" shows they still really have it. I also think one of their more recent songs, "Promises, Promises," is quite good, and it's less than a year old I think.
This is a questionable music video, though.
As you mentioned, "Warning" has stood the test of time well- the lyric "I suggest we learn to love ourselves before it's made illegal" speaks to me loud and clear.
As far as Incubus memories are concerned, I've actually seen them in concert more than once, and each time they've been really good. I used to listen to "I Miss You" and pretend it related to me, and seeing them in concert only made me do it more. The opening band one of the times I saw them was 30 Seconds to Mars- further proving my life long obsession with the television show My So-Called Life.
Before I leave the world of Incubus, I leave you with two songs:
1) "Megalomaniac." This is... political Incubus. I don't like political Incubus nearly as much, but this song resonates as a car sing along fun time. Singing "You're no fucking Elvis!" never gets old!
2) "The Warmth." I think this counts as my all time favorite Incubus song. The lyrics are sorta cheesy, I know, but the rebellious teen in me always loved the lyric "Don't let the world bring you down; not everyone here is that fucked up and cold." I like that concept because oftentimes we forget that after a bad day or three. We forget that most of the people in our lives aren't awful.
Okay, this game was fun, and at some point I'm going to return the favor back at ya! Oooh... who to pick?!
