I'd much rather sit through a Miley Cyrus concert than sit through a Dave Matthews concert.Every time I'm at a campus party I wanna punch the guy/girl that wears a DMB T-shirt or puts a DMB song into the playlist.
i hate dave mathews band.... and a good portion of why i hate them is the fans.
example:
guy at a party replaces the ACDC cd in the stereo with dave mathews while we are out playing beer pong. this started an argument, bottom line he said (exact quote) 'dave mathews band is the best band to ever come out of the US.' i loved how he eliminates the beatles and a number of other bands conveniently with that 'in the US' part. i guess he knew he wouldn't win that argument.
just to preemptively throw this out there, if anyone agrees with the douchebag in my example, you fail at music. anyway i don't care if you like DMB, but please people... don't be that guy.

Jam bands... you either get it or you don't.
I'm not surprised that's the only song you've heard in years but since then they've had some great tours, they don't need an album out to justify a tour. in fact i prefer to see them when there isn't an album out, much rather see them playing some old classic stuff.
how much radio play did the dead get? yet year after year they were a great touring band, same as Phish is now... can't judge a band by thier radio play.
...nothing worse than sitting next to somone waiting to hear Crash or some other DMB radio hit.

Then again, most of my knowledge of a band's repertoire is either from radio airplay (hence the reason why I listen to a lot of Led Zeppelin, Foreigner, Boston, etc.) or like the band well enough to actually check out their albums (hence the reason why I listen to a lot of Breaking Benjamin and Cake), so I suppose my taste in music isn't as broad as I'd like to think it is.

Different likes... kind of like trying to say the S2000 is a great car to a mustang driver...

I like DMB and like their new song, Funny the Way It Is. I love their old stuff, Best of What's Around, Crash, Ants Marching, Satellite, Crush, etc.
If you don't like them, fine, but I still like them after all these years. Call me gay, but I actually like some songs from Alanis Morissette too.
Of course, take the above with me liking Eagles, Mayer, Buble, Flo Rida, Lady Gaga, Baby Bash, Kid Rock, Sir Mix, Metallica, Journey, Disturbed, NIN, etc.
So is my music taste all over the map?
