There's one I've never heard before. Usually, even people that tell me they hate DMB still say that the band is very good/talented. Carter is ridiculous on the drums, Stefan is a very well respected bass player, and who the hell plays the violin like Boyd? (yes, facetious, who the hell plays the violin period)

One thing that I've heard repeatedly is that people who like jam bands don't like DMB because they're like the pop-equivalent of a jam band. They kind of jam, but they also translate to the radio which you don't see with a lot of the other guys.

Me personally, I like them. I think it started because they were Virginia boys and so was I, they started out growing a huge fan base in the state. I like most of their music but I hate some of it too. I've seen them 13 times and am not in a hurry to see them again because I typically hate their crowd nowadays. The first time I saw them was the tour opener in '98, Roanoke, VA, it was the first big concert EVER to come around where I grew up, so it was a big deal and it was a great crowd. Now, I go to shows and it's a bunch of kids barely out of diapers who hear Crash on the radio everyday and are excited to be able to tell everyone in their 6th grade class that they smelled someone smoking pot and had a sip of beer. The crowd just bugs me. I also hated Everyday, with the exception of like 2 songs it's a concert killer. I never really got into Stand Up either. Before These Crowded Streets I can listen to over and over and over. My favorite song is Lie In Our Graves, but I also love Seek Up and Halloween and even going to 13 shows, have never seen them play those 2.
