It's pretty simple arithmetic TO ME, really.
Dave Matthews+ alone= I like it, or I don't hate it.
Dave Matthews+DMB(dave matthews band)= Hate it
That is my scientific research, and I don't care what reasoning you present to me. The sound of saxophone and violins don't mix right, TO ME.
So there it is, and the hack fiddle player in dmb isn't that good, he always sounds a bit out of tune.
Once again just my own opinions here, don't get too riled up about it.
