*i waltz in and discuss nineties shoegaze for five pages*

Also, worst song ever is definitely this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1GZzucDMlQ.

Bonus points to that Five Finger Death Punch song that is trying to do Billy Joel.

Dave Matthews is the actual worst music of all time, but a friend of mine once suggested it was the Counting Crows and I think that's also an acceptable answer.

thanks for the chicago tips so far

another nominee for worst song ever is the Disturbed cover of Sound of Silence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9Dg-g7t2l4

Pats fan coworker sent it to me and when I mentioned it was a cover he looked up the original and said it was "gay"

So you're saying that Hootie and the Blowfish is better than Dave Matthews Band?

e. we are of course talking about "worst band that was popular"

There's a section on their wikipedia page about all the different ways Kevin Shields bankrupted his studio by insisting on an effects setup that had fifteen more switches than was necessary to achieve the sound he wanted because he could "tell a difference."

Also, Dave Matthews is, like, okay. The only Crows band I know are the Black Crows, so I can't comment on the other.

I have fond memories of Dave Matthews, Jack Johnson and OAR for the amount of times it was on in the background while getting with girls in college.

Lacrosse players in my freshman year dorm used to just call the Dave Matthews Band "Dave". As in "hey man, put on some Dave."

going back to this, this is bordering on a war crime but personally, as someone who very much enjoys reggae, this is the worst song of all time

just booked an anniversary trip to Chicago with my wife

what should we do while we're there?

I want to go to the ferris bueller museum. Is that cool?

what's the best restaurant?

pls advise

Can't go wrong with the musuems and the surgical sciences one is a personal favorite, even if it's small. Garfield Park Conservatory is also really nice. See if there are any night events at the observatory. Depending whenn you're around check Metro, Lincoln Hall, the Vic, Subterranean for shows. Wicker Park is good for shopping and food. Sox games are way more relaxed than Cubs (cheaper too!) but the team sucks.

Tons of good restaurants, so what are you looking for? Frontera is my favorite steakhouse, Oiistar is best ramen, tons of good sushi, Chinatown is worth killing an entire day in. Also good tacos everywhere.

Go to the Green Mill for jazz and cocktails, go to the Half Acre taproom for really good beer.

Tons of good stuff. Feel free to PM me.
