Sum 41 is being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame this year.
They deserve it.
I have to admit, I've never really been a fan of theirs.
But the fact is, they've made hard-rocking compelling music for more than thirty years.
That ends on Sunday, March 30, 2025, when they will be playing their farewell performance at their induction ceremony, at the Juno Awards.
So, on the occasion of their induction and breakup, I decided it was time to give them a second listen.
This was one of their first singles, and the only one to chart on the US pop charts. It also topped the US Modern Rock charts - the first of three times they would do so - in 2001. It was be 22 years before they would do that again.
So yeah. After going back and listening to them with fresh ears, I'm more of a fan. I can appreciate the music they made and the time they made it.
Hey, remember when MTV did Spring Break and Carson Daly hosted TRL?
So do we.
We're going to guess that Sum 41 are going to close their set with this song on Sunday. This post may end up being updated to reflect that.
But also, they played it there in 2002, when they were nominated (and won an award, although not for this song).
