The first song I heard after my grandfather died on the drive home from the hospital was Grave Digger. It will forever have a negative impact on me when I hear it. DMB on the whole is alright to me - I can't see the big fuss over them but that's just me. I just have one other reason to not like them.

Chiming in for my brother's widow. I hate the band, but she likes 'em. She doesn't come to AT though AFAIK.

Ok, no offense but DMB certainly does not rock.

Examples of bands that "rock:
Metallica (pre-Black album)
Rolling Stones
Led Zepplin (well, rocked anyway)
AC/DC



DMB is borderline adult contemporary IMO.

Hence, they do not "rock". :)

Personally I can't stand DMB nor that John Meyers (or whatever the hell he's called).

you mentioned a dave matthews solo song amongst dave matthews band songs.

fav. solo songs: gravedigger, dodo, some devil, stay or leave, an' another thing
fav. band songs: bartender [live especially], crush, crash into me, spoon, don't drink the water, best of what's around, #41, drive in drive out, grey street, where are you going, dreams of our fathers, the space between, when the world ends [when it's performed live], so much to say, too much, tripping billies, what would you say, ants marching, satellite.

because it sucked. the mixing was way too compressed, no dynamics stood out, for the most part dave's voice was lost in the mix, none of the individual instrumentation stood out, and apart from that the album just sucked. steve lillywhite needs to do more work with them...

he also co-wrote the album with dave, without the band! so really everyday is the first solo record, with the old band doing some back-up band work for him. and considering dave is the weakest member of the band, it's no surprise that everyday is not just the weakest DMB album, but a weak album period.

eh, it's debatable whether he's good or not i guess. i'm not a guitar player. apparently steve always tried to drown out his guitar in the mix but his singing i like. the other players are top notch though, especially carter beauford.

I love pretty much all of his songs (I'd say at least 85% of them...way more than any other band save for Evanescence and Linkin Park), but right now my favorite is Grey Street. I could let that song loop for an hour and I wouldn't get sick of it.

I have the "Live at Folsom Field" and "Listener Supported" DVDs. One is DTS and the other is Dolby Digital. Both sound great in 5.1 formats. I think in order to appreciate DMB's music, you have to see it as they are making it such as the concert DVDs. In the car, I have "Listener Supported" on CD. I also enjoy that very much.
