They sound like my mom's smooth jazz records.  Dave's singing doesn't help.

Dave Matthews Band is about as exciting as listening to a dial tone while eating an unflavored ricecake.

That would be so much more preferable and much less irritating.
 
 And Myuman, how on earth did you ever get the idea that DMB were 'pop shoegazers'!? You are waaaayyyyy off the mark with that one. Do you even know what Shoegaze is, be it Pop or not? They are, however, Pop. Pop goes the shit, especially if they are driving over a bridge.

  REM  back in the day were rather good i thought.  It wasn't mindblowingly good, but it was certainly fresh and decent musicianship too.  I liked the first two albums a lot and listener supported live album.  The third one was a little off for a number of songs, but when they were on...as in Crush, they were incredible.  Interestingly enough I stayed away from them for a long time because all the jocks in my school listened to them (high school).  I only really got into them and saw them live when they toured in 2002, unfortunately, they were already going stale.  By now they've dropped off my radar screen quite a bit.

Yea, it is a shame.

If you're going to change the post to read REM instead of "DMB," then at least go through the rest of the text and make the relevant changes. Lazy.  :p

The third one was a little off for a number of songs, but when they were on...as in Orange Crush, they were incredible.

 Better?

dave is a talented guitar player.  i could do without his singing sometimes.

Next to U2, the most overrated band in popular music history.  Hippie music for fratboys.  Good music for a dentist's office, maybe.  Rhythm section is talented I suppose, but that voice and those lyrics are so painfully annoying I can't say anything else nice.

[Yank]

Man, you guys have some really bad taste in music!  That's the worst part of living in the UK....they don't play any Dave Matthews Band on the radio.  I'm feeling really homesick now.

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

if I were living in the UK and I couldn't hear Dave Matthews, I'd probably kill myself!

Yes...except "Orange Crush" was on REM's seventh release.  

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

Random, when are you coming to Doomlink?

[Sir HC]

I respect him for creating a genre where none existed.  Not my bag, but he has had vision and kept it going for a lot longer than I thought possible.

DMB frst 2 albums were great and the band put on some great shows that I saw. However, everything else since has been crap. A complete waste of time in my opinion. Two Step is probably their greatest song ever. Dumping poop on people is not cool.
