I didn’t have an opinion on Dave Matthews until a few years ago this older guy and his wife figured out there was an phone app for the jukebox at my neighborhood bar. Every loving time they came in they’d play the same three live songs which meant 30+ straight minutes of Dave Matthews. People would do the “pay an extra credit to jump to to the top of the queue” thing once the first song started. I learned that they were not Melvins fans this way

It was a modestly original sound in it's time and was decent enough.

Getting heavy into stoner / jamband culture and the fan worship that comes with that breeds contempt.

Are Dave Mathews Band fans a valid answer? Not all of them, just the ones that refer to the band entirely as DMB and refuse to SHUT THE gently caress UP ABOUT IT JESUS CHRIST JOSH WE loving GET THAT YOU LIKE THE BAND!

Because I put my vote in for that one.

I'd say they were the epitome of obscenely bloodless boring 90's dad rock pap, but that would be Hootie and the Blowfish.

There's that one song about a Monkey or something and he can't sing so he's literally going like "WUUUUAAARH YIIIURRR" like he's trying to be soulful and it just sounds like he's in pain so I stopped listening. Terrible, bad and awful.

ok yeah that song was good, that album's speciality seemed to be taking the most oatmeal level 90's soft rocker types and making them sound cool, see also Rob Thomas.

BUT CAN IT FEEL??!?!
I like it, some of the lyrics are cool, some cool guitar parts, other instruments besides guitar/bass/drums/keys add different vibe, Dave sang with passion which can stir the emotions of the listener

Not like a music aficionado guy so I don't know if this is an acceptable opinion.

i've met dmb fans before and I feel like people become dmb fans if they just started listening to music and someone gave them an album - I can see someone whose only frame of reference is listening to radio pop and rap music listening to dmb for the first time and being like "whoa man, this is different and cool", but you might as well listen to Neil Young / Jimi Hendrix / Bob Marley / The Grateful Dead / Allmond Brothers yourself and skip the middleman. that said, I don't mind if people play it as background music, dmb doesn't actively piss me off when it's played.

This is it for me. The worst thing music can be is boring, and bands like DMB have it in spades.
