I reviewed "American Baby" once and noticed that the first 15 seconds were kind of pretty and rhythmically propulsive, so I kept just playing those 15 seconds over and over and pretending it was a Four Tet remix.

What Would You Say? I actually liked the first three albums or so, then got lost in how same-y it all sounded. plus college kids ruined them for me. when I saw the types of people that worshipped DMB my freshman year of college i decided I no longer wanted to be a member of that club.

I thought he was pretty cute in the early years, and there were whispers about him...
i also love the weirdo lyrics to What Would You Say.
"I was there when the bear ate his head, thought it was a cannnnnnndyyyyyyyy"

Strange that such a long and storied career produced but one memorable single (What Would You Say).

whatever it is, it's definitely *not* the one (can't remember the name/possibly never knew it) where he sings about getting older, and being all these different ages, and thinking sentimental vaguely dopey thoughts baout love/life/family, in the most excruciating falsetto of our time
This is not DMB; it's Five for Fighting, "100 Years."

yea but mine generally plays either cheesy 80's keyboard music or...there was actually one I used to go to which was playing Muzak from the 80's/90s including Jack Wagner's "All I Need"

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.
I was forcibly ejected from a Dave Matthews Band show in Delaware around this time because I was being a terrible, belligerent drunk. Then I vomited all over my roommate's girlfriend's car after she came to pick me up. That is my DMB story.
I don't know a lot of these songs by name, but I legitimately enjoy "Stay" so that's what I voted for. "Crash Into Me" is one of the worst songs ever.

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

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

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

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
