least bad & hated Dave Matthews Band single

I actually really enjoy listening to a lot of these songs.

There, I said it.

I do remember loving Don't Drink the Water when it came out.....
--check out my malady (San Te)

Kinda otm

voted "Ants Marching", never minded this song when it was ubiquitous, which is the best I can say about it (or about the others).

I do quote "Don't Drink The Water" a lot for dadjoke comedy value.

"Don't Drink The Water" was a nearly "Lakini's Juice"-level buzzkill in terms of their career at the time, i don't know how it would sound to me now but when i think of it i mostly lol

it reminds me of lakini's juice, mostly cuz its weirdo sludge rawk

Funny because when it originally came out, "Lakini's Juice" was my favorite thing Live had done yet.

ME TOO

it was like a helmet song tbh

Lakini's Juice was severely underrated

"Lakini's Juice" C or D?

where are you going

Whiney OTM re Helmet-ness of that song. Finally we find common ground. If I ever found myself with the desire to listen to an entire Live album again, it would totally be Secret Samadhi

everyone in high school called this album Secret Sodomy

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

BEST DAVE MATTHEWS SINGLE

ha how did i forget POSTING on that thread. i only searched the archives for "Dave Matthews Band" so it didn't come up when i tried to see if it'd been done before :(

wait i have to go see if this helmety live single exists brb

ok i see what you guys are saying but that fucking cunt is still singing so no

wait did dude just say "i rushed the ladies room took the water from the toiilet" wtf is wrong with this whole generation of assholes

on the other hand this video for dont drink the water is absolutely fucking hilarious, i think i just found my vote

Lakini's Juice by Live was supposed to sound like Helmet. The only thing it had in common w DDtW were that they were both weirdly melodramatic alt-rock songs

well lets be fair, both of them are absolutely terrible so they do have that in common

btw i realize that i am taking the dangerous and on the cusp challop view that a live and a DMB song are not good, but i had never heard either one before and wow

Love Lakini's Juice and voted for it in dude's Stylus Mag's Floundering Grunge Follow-up poll

I think now is a good time to re-assert that DMB are 90% awful

What Would You Say
Jimi Thing
Ants Marching
Satellite
Too Much
So Much To Say
Tripping Billies
Don't Drink The Water

^^^ much as i'd like to i can't really hate on any of these, hooky as hell (although his vocal stylings almost sink "Satellite") and fuck man, i owned the CDs like a million other people. Like it or not, Under The Table And Dreaming is going to be in fucktons of "classic album" canon lists ten years from now if it's not already. Granted, the lows are really low, and they overreach when they try to make Serious Statements. I let "Don't Drink The Water" in because it's just so magnificently goofy. But ehhh, none of those up there are so bad and hated, for me.

I will admit that I would race to change the channel on "Ants Marching" but I'll still give it credit for being very well-constructed.

Work It Out [Jurassic 5 feat. Dave Matthews Band] 0

ok wow just listened to that and it is somehow far worse than i expected

What Would You Say and So Much To Say are the same song, less satanic than their others.

oh hey, which is the one where he goes "it's a typical situation in these typical times"? that one blows chunks too, and I'm glad nobody (I hope?) has defended it on this thread

that one is called..."Typical Situation"

don't eat the floaters--dave matthews

xp oh durr

i've heard what would you say on the radio a few times recently and it really doesn't sound that bad, tho it has its share of awful lyrical clunkers. but now that i am considering what else i could vote for i remember that all dmb songs have terrible lyrical clunkers.

so yeah, what would you say.

plus the breakdown is pretty fun

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wtf just happened

aaahhhhhhhaaahhhhhhghghhhhh you terrible people

Ha! That's amazing. <3 u secret DMB loving lurking heart of ILX

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

www.votefortheworst.com

have to admit i'm kinda glad this had such a bigger turnout and different winner from micceo's poll just so my thread wouldn't feel as redundant, but ugh at this result

play with fire

don't play with firrrrrre, there's burn in the fire

lol awesome

ha ha ha oh ilx

i have listened to almost no dave matthews, but in college someone thought it would be a good idea to hire a DJ to play music outside to celebrate the end of the term. except it was monday of fucking finals week and how the fuck am i supposed to write an essay about cotton mather when my brain is full of "THE SPAAAACE BETWEEEEEEEEEEEEEN~~~~~!"

Do we still get this many DMB lurkers?

DMB lurkers all voting for "Crash Into Me"?! No sir, it is the unfamiliar who are voting...

I guess, I'm just shocked that there are that many ilxors that would vote for it. Thought it was pretty much universally reviled around here.

not voting for "Crash Into Me" = actually giving some semblance of a shit...

"Crash Into Me" is a depressingly ubiquitous song, i'm not really surprised 30 people on this board had it pounded into their head enough to vote for it
