"Too Much" is another video that poisoned me against the song, preferred the slightly watered down version Tripping Billies

"Crash Into Me" is an okay track, but it's a little romcom'ed out. "Two Step" is still fantastic and gets my vote.

"Satellite" was good tho, I always dug it and didn't even realize it was by the same band until later

this is just DM, not DMB - but is the only song I have ever heard by him that didn't make me want to stick my head in a vice

― Grotjahn in the Moma (Pillbox), Friday, 25 March 2011 15:46 (thirteen years ago) link
the only DMB song that tends to get stuck in my head is "Gravedigger," their minor alt-rock radio hit from 2004. the chorus goes, "gravedigger, when you dig my grave, bury me shallow, so I can feel the rain," and each verse is a biography of an everyday person who lived and died without fame or riches. it's DMB's very own Spoon River Anthology, and it really makes you stop and think about the fragility of human life.
by comparison, all of the songs listed here are stone-cold classics & I would give my soul to wipe "Gravedigger" from my memory forever.

i heard "Why I Am" a couple times last year (which is odd because it apparently never charted) and it was kinda nice, similar to the early stuff i like.
"Gravedigger" is from the same DM solo album Pillbox posted a song from iirc.

I cannot endorse the whole DMB thing post-2000 or so.
But in Virginia circa 1992, Dave & co. were not yet famous and were playing every Wednesday at the Flood Zone in Richmond. I had a friend who slept with Stefan the bass player. One occasionally saw Dave and his crew around town or at one's friends' college bars.
And I will tell you that "Satellite" sounded perfect and new at that time and in that place.
This was music that made you smile if your idea of fun was: get high first thing in the morning. Play hacky sack and/or strum an acoustic guitar in the park until mid-afternoon. Then platonically cuddle a golden-haired hippy-maiden art student in a long skirt and no bra. Whenever I chance to hear that fingerstyle intro and the jazzy-ass wrongness of the time signature, I smile inside.
(This is not to defend the rest of the man's music or the bad & hated white-hatted fanbase.)
― Ye Mad Puffin, Friday, 25 March 2011 16:06 (thirteen years ago) link

What Would You SayJimi ThingAnts MarchingSatelliteToo MuchSo Much To SayTripping BilliesDon'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.
