CONTENTION: Dave Matthews is actually a halfway-decent crooner*—nice warm timbre & natural-sounding phrasing, never pushes his voice too far beyond its range, sticks close to the melody—it's just a shame that his lyrics read like something a music teacher crowd-sourced from first-graders, e.g. "Sweet like candy to my soul / Sweet you rock and... sweet you roll"
* obviously the funky-honky jam-band numbers like "What Would You Say" are another story entirely, and I would rather listen to an entire Blues Traveler album than be subjected to that song's chorus even one more time

also, it's weird (to me) that I never hear "Satellite" anymore—I remember it getting airplay in the 90s, and I've always found it the most listenable song in his catalog (again, ignoring lyrical stinkbombs like "Who's the king of your satellite castle?")

Yeah, Satellite sold me that DMB album. Didn't last long for me, but I love playing along with that guitar part. Regardless, it's still a hell of a lot better than Crash, which I still hear all the time.

I've never really listened to Incubus (who seem to be popular with the same crowd?) but for some reason always had the impression that their starry-eyed prog-lite stylings could be traced directly back to that guitar part

Yeah, I could hear that.

I love the (3+ minute) coda on #41 through the intro of Say Goodbye.

I think 'before these crowded streets' is actually one of the better mainstream albums to emerge from that jam band scene, it's just made with such skill and clarity of purpose.

haven't listened to it in ages but i'm pretty sure i'd still like the kronos quartet jam off of 'before these crowded streets,' "the stone"
