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

I feel the same way about Tom Petty.
The difference is that Tom Petty wrote some good songs sometimes.

I'm not familiar with any of their songs but if they put as much effort into their music as coming up with a band name I expect it to be utter poo poo.

It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a guy called Dave Matthews in the band at all. But I googled them and there is. Embarrassing.

Dave Matthews Band has aged really really poorly but at least it's aged memorably. 20 years later I can still imagine huaaipppp-POW-whuuup-comon-fast-I-eat-you in my head while a fiddle plays manically in the background.

Ask me to hum just three notes from the loving Goo Goo Dolls and I'm drawing a complete blank.

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.

I feel like a lot of why DMB was so successful was that 90s time in music. It was just before the internet made it possible to listen to anything ever with zero effort -- such as the bluegrass & jazz that DMB was cribbing from. But at the same time people were buying poo poo-tons of CDs so you got exposed to musical diversity. I had (still have I think) 3 or 4 Grateful Dead CDs from the 90s, and I don't even like the Dead.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:

DMB sounds like a cascade of poorly assembled instruments, and the goal of every one of their songs is to sound like that.

Tom Petty's better songs are reasonably composed and capture relatable emotions.

I gotta assume DMB has some decent songs, most artists do, but I find their sound outright offensive so I'm real biased against them.

DMB is rustic sounding music that suburban people can feel comfortable with without all that icky full on country vibe. Like the suburban white people who kinda want to listen to hip-hop but are too scared to actually go into it.

DMB is Macklemore.

nope. nothing there. all gone into a blur of general mid-to-late-90s radio friendly alternative.

had to look up "iris" on youtube to remember what their #1 hit sounded like.
