[IndianaJones]

Rock n Roll Hall of Fame?

[Parche]

1. Toilet Hall Of Fame

They are annoying.....:grr: :grr: :grr:


:hi:

[LSK]

2. what you said

:thumbsup:

[MorningGlow]

3. Thirded

Their sound is like nails on a blackboard to me. And their songs never END...
:puke:

[MrCoffee]

4. I still stand by my assertion that Dave Matthews is the dirtiest lyricist working today

he's uber-perv.

[StrongBad]

5. Alas, they have shown themselves to be merely a late-90's relic

[Ava]

6. i actually like dave matthews band

nice chill out music. then again i have a very wide range in musical taste.

i've noticed a lot of people here hate the band.. not sure why. guess it is just the olive garden of music, lol.

[IndianaJones]

7. I do too. nt.

[Capn Sunshine]

11. I do too , wife hates them

She says it reminds her of the Dead. She HATES the dead.

And yet she knew I was a Deadhead when we married.
I understand how people could not like either band btw.

12. "I take thee, Deadhead....."

Musical taste is weird. I like alot of different things. I like the Dave Matthews Band. The only music my husband can't stand is my Leonard Cohen music. When I play it, he thinks I'm trying to get him so depressed he'll throw himself out the window.

[Beaverhausen]

20. I do too. Their drummer is awesome

I don't understand the hatred some have for him.

[Capn Sunshine]

21. I have a fondness for "Crash Into Me"

the rest is kind of a mishmash to me...I think I'll dig it out and listen to it..its a concert album.

[Cant trust em]

8. I'm really not into DMB

I don't know what they've done to expand or influence rock n' roll. I don't really have a very high opinion of the RnRHOF. Seems pretty self-indulgent and gone a little to clean and corporate looking.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Might just as well - the place has already shown it has no taste and is just a fucking joke anyway.

Why start being selective now?

[datasuspect]

10. if you had a bucket of ass on the one hand

and the dave matthews band on the other, i'd have to opt for the bucket of ass.

[zanne]

13. That was so eloquent and touching...

It made me cry a little.

[Bennyboy]

14. Absolutely. Face it haters....

DMB has been the biggest band in the country for 15 years. Their sound is copied every single day by some band. Hate all you want but they are freaking great to see live. Different songs every night (even though it is never a completely different set)long shows, great musisicanship and they are very very very active in many progressive causes.Not to mention there are TONS of Hotties (both male and female) at their shows. For a lot of people Dave is the gateway band to more jammy type of music.

First time I saw themw as in 93 when they opened for Phish. Blew me away. So did Phish. I have seen DMB at least 20 times since. last time was for free in GGPark with Carlos Santana sitting in for a long time.

[hellbound-liberal]

17. I'm with you Bennyboy. Though I never really cared for their "hits", seeing them live was awesome!

Excellent musicianship, especially the drummer. Saw them during the Vote for Change Tour in 2004 and have been a fan ever since! :toast:

[ghostsofgiants]

18. "Dave is the gateway band to more jammy type of music"

And I think that is the problem for most of us. Jam bands, in many of our opinions, are lame as balls.

[Mike Daniels]

15. Why not - The fact that Madonna got in before Peter Gabriel

shows that the HOF is now more about inducting artists that will bring in crowds vs. honoring artistic merit or influence.

A common sticking point with certain music fans is the absence of any representation of the progressive/art rock genre. I'll concede a lot of progressive/art rock bands were dreck. However, the blanket ban the HOF has apparently put on the genre keeps out bands that truly deserve to be in there such as King Crimson (a band of true musicians that reinvented itself every few years more drastically than Madonna ever did) and Roxy Music (to which the entire new wave movement (good and bad) owes some sort of debt either stylistically or musically).

[HughBeaumont]

16. Nope.

Their sound is so painfully ordinary and Abercrombie/Fitch whitebread, just like The Barenaked Ladies. Yet they'll probably both get in before anyone in the progressive rock genre will, so what the hell?

[TK421]

19. More like Hall of Shame

:puke:

[Alexander]

22. They make me want to disembowel myself with a rusty knife.

They're the favorite band of the rich white pseudo-hippie morons I knew in high school.

:puke:

[Elidor]

23. I quite enjoyed them when I first heard them

But I haven't wanted to listen to them in quite some time. They have some good songs. Those jazzy mirrored sax-and-bass lines were pretty appealing to me, those little pop-jazz riffs.

Not quite what I would call legendary, though. Still, look at some of the awful stuff they've inducted into the Hall. I won't name names, but sheesh. The Hall is a total joke.

24. DMB: I Don't Get It

i have friends, yea, even family, who are crazy for DMB. one friend plans a road trip every summer to hit select DMB show venues around the country. i just got his schedule for this year: Saratoga, Gorge, and three days at the Greek.

but i just don't get it.

i'm okay on the jam band stuff in small doses and as background music. but i just do not get DMB.

on edit: i can watch and listen to vids/tapes of even the most mediocre Dead show with varying degrees of pleasure. but DMB.... meh.
