Am I the only person who really doesn't like Dave Matthew's Band? Not to bash anyone, but I feel like all their songs sound the same to me.

Techically he didn't, it was the bus driver.

Regardless, the band's philanthropic efforts are pretty extensive and more than make up for that one unfortunate incident.

Everyone in college loved DMB. I can't stand that nasal thing he does.

Their jazz fusion thing is pretty unique, and a good percentage of his songs are very soulful. The more commercial stuff you'll hear on the radio aren't really the songs I'm into.

They're my favorite band by far. They were a trendy college band for a while, but they're bigger than that now.

I think they're an aquired taste for some. I wasn't a big fan of them at all until I saw them live for the first time back in '97. After that I was hooked. You just can't beat them live.

I can see that. Last year I took a friend to the Charlotte O.A.R. show and another to the Auburn Hills, MI one. Both made fun of me for listening to them until those shows. I'm sure that I'd enjoy DMB live, whether I could enjoy their catalogue on my own afterwards who knows.

I totally agree. I was never a big fan (and I'm still not) but I took the wife to see them live at SPAC and they put on a great show. I really got into it.

I'm the same. Plus when he gets into that tone where he barely enunciates his words it's kinda ehhh, not a big fan of his voice either. I remember one time watching the Central Park DVD I enjoyed the sound, but I was pretty drunk at that point too. The lyrics just don't come together for me, some of the songs are just way too vague, others aren't that way though.

There are some songs that I enjoy, I just can't get into the whole thing. If anyone has suggestions for me to listen to feel free, maybe I just haven't heard enough of it.

A lot of people look at me funny when I say stuff like this because I'm a big O.A.R. fan, but I just feel more energy in their music, a lot of storylines, etc.

I can walk to Merriweather Post Pavilion from my place but they rarely have shows I'd be interested in. So that sucks.

5/1 My Morning Jacket!

You must live close to the mall as well. That area is a mad house.
