I love them, been listening to them since 92 when music was released. I love all their albums, really digging getting through to her track 8 on the last cd.

Summer of Love is one of my four-starred iTunes songs. I've only heard one other song of them though and that's their cover of Love Song by the Cure which is meh at best.

Any recommendations?

Huge 311 fan here. Been with them since Music as well. Glad to see some other fans around here! Favorite album would have to be Grassroots.

311 is definitely one of my favorites. Excellent music. Checkout the album: From Chaos. More specifically "Amber" from that album. Love it.

I still have their self titled and Transistor albums. I used to have the self titled one on audio cassette (!!!) before I had a CD player (in what, 1995, lol), now I have the CD. I used to have Music and Soundsystem, too, but last year I traded-in a HUGE portion of my old CD library. Haven't really paid attention to them since Soundsystem came out though.

The self titled album is still the best IMHO.

It's all about "The Love Song"... definitely one of my all-time favorites.

Transistor and Grassroots are their best work IMO.

Just saw them last weekend at the download festival in Mansfeild Mass, great show (Jurassic 5 was pretty sick too)
