Dave Matthews Band: Name Your Reasons Why They Are So Legendary and Beloved

Even Alanis Morissette lends her trademark pipes!

What is Dave Matthews listening to? Matthews tells us about Xiu Xiu, the experimental indie project of Californian singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart, who, Matthews says, Tim Reynolds turned him on to. “There’s something about it where you can’t put it down,” he says. “It’s like crazy person music, but it’s really slammin’ and it’s really beautiful. He’s a little bit precious maybe — and ‘a little bit’ may be understating it — but there’s something about it that I go back and I listen to it again, and I like it.”

i think i saw a commercial during college football where Dave Matthews Band is part of a contest where the college that votes for him the most through text-messaging gets a free concert from DMB. He can't possibly be that popular, still?

who is in lol college here?

Listening to DMB at work, it occurred to me that their songs could be much improved by simply ommitting the clarinet and piccolo or whatever woodwinds they are using.

it occurred to me that their songs could be much improved by simply ommitting the clarinet and piccolo or whatever woodwinds they are using everything.

So I'm watching a little bit of this documentary on IFC called "Before the Music Dies." The filmmakers travelled around the U.S. trying to find out why mainstream music is so packaged and repetitive, and whether the major labels are able to silence innovation.
Up comes a clip of Dave Matthews, and I assumed this was an illustration of this bland, "packaged and repetitive" music that's so common. I was wrong. They were used as an example of one of the few, truly innovative bands that broke through the corporate oppression and got their music out to the masses.
Huh? WHy, because there's a violin on stage?

The three R's of repetition...

I don't like Dave Matthews at all - his voice grates and the lyrics* make me want to hit myself in the head with a brick - but when they first broke through on the radio, it did seem pretty unusual and innovative. Or at least they stuck out like a sore thumb.

I haven't actively listened to Dave Matthews in 10+ years and I'm not making any plans to, but I suspect I'd be alright with them if an album of instrumental versions were to turn up.

*crash into me and I'll come into you
crash into me and I'll come into you
crash into me and I'll come into you
crash into me and I'll come into you
crash into me and I'll come into you
crash into me and I'll come into you

YEEEEEEESH!

Jason "Buzz" Schechtman, (perpetually) 19, Deerfield, Ill., a student at IU, got his tickets about 8 p.m. after waiting more than three hours. He met folks in line who said they'd left the Clinton rally to wait for tickets. "I was leaning toward Obama, but this sealed the deal for sure," he said.

3 Doors Down

Another reason to hate them

I think songs like Stolen Away on 55th & 3rd, Old Dirt Hill, and Dancing Nancies deserve recognition if not the sappy Satellite and Typical Situation.

American ILMers, do you still hate Dave Matthews Band?
