Thank you Dave Matthews thread
 

Thank you for saving music

Never could get into these guys. Never understood their hippie followers, either.

it's a mix of rock, folk, alternative, great music, and each of the players are in the top 5 of their position in the world

I'm convinced you're a closeted Beaker.

I saw them open for Phish in 1994 in Alabama. Did not enjoy.

I like em Penz :thumb:

Not only do they suck, Dave's voice is a blight on humanity.

Heh. I couldn't stand them because their followers were a bunch of frat drunks, not hippies. I was hard core Phish/Dead hippie back then, and I thought their crowd were a bunch of drunken idiots (in contrast to tripping idiots).

I'm a big fan, despite the fact it's apparently not cool here on CP. Good choice Sam, #41 one of my favorites. I appreciate the fact that they really seem to enjoy playing, and Dave comes across as an everyman that gets how lucky he is. Beyond that, they use an interesting mix of instruments (at least to me), and it flows pretty well.

Well, sounds like you know what you're talking about in realation to their fans. Just to clarify - YOU'RE the stoner hippie and Penz is the frat boy drunk? :D

Former stoner hippie, but correct. ;)

I actually like their music okay now, I just never got over that initial bad experience enough to really embrace them.

Honestly, I like dave, their drummer is one of my favs, I hate their sandel wearing fans. I love metal and love kicking the shit out of people, but I like dave when I am just a sucker for O.A.R and Dave for the simple fact. It feels good grilling and listening to them :)
