I'm just surprised that with all of the crap out there...American Idol singers, boy bands, talentless lip-synching girls, punk rocker wannabees, geriatric rock bands, all country bands, etc, people are mostly hating the DMB. IMO, the DMB is one of the best jam bands around and has some great musicians especially Carter Beauford on drums.

I agree, the band is good, but Matthews is a horrible front man. Bland personality, atonal singing... I don't understand his popularity at all, he's a total zero.

my disliking has NOTHING to do with talent... and the thread wasn't asking anything about talent... I can dislike talented musicians, just because you are talented and can play an instrument doesn't mean what you play is loved by all. I personally can do without all the "jam bands" as you guys have called them... that is me... and to be honest with you I think their fans have actually ruined them for me and I think I hate fans of these bands more than just the bands. hard to explain, but hopefully some people will get it.

It wouldn't shock me if it happens someday, the R & R HOF is a joke. Black Sabbath and Van Halen aren't in, but Percy Sledge and the Bee Gees are? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame indeed.

 

As far as bands or musicians that I hate: *insert any emo/screamo band & Van Hagar

Hey man LAY OFF the BeeGees, dammit!

It's something I think's worthwhile,

if the puppet makes you smile,

if not then you're throwing stones,

throwing stones, throwing stones.

There are a bunch of bands today that feature lead singers with a whiny nassally voices. I can't stand that. I can't name any band names cause they all sound alike and will be gone after one overplayed hit.

There are a bunch of bands that consider themselves to be "indie" bands out there today. Independent of what? Talent? Sum 41 (to name 1 of a thousand) comes to mind.

Also, can't stand when record companies sell gansta thug music to middle America. Fifty Cent "He's right out of the hood! He got shot 9 times! Buy this CD!" is a good example. I can just see the marketing suits sitting around brainstorming how they will get him into the mass market.

 

My rant is done.

You shouldn't hate.

I think that's an unfair assessment. In their earlier years "You Shouldn't Hate" was a very innovative band. It's only the last two albums that they sound like they're forcing the issue. They should have retired years ago. But that doesn't make them a terrible band.

Joe, stop it. You're scaring all the nice people.

The first four genres you mentioned are music for kids. If by geriatric rock band, you mean the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney, then I just don't see your point. So just because they are becoming senior citizens means you no longer think their music should be relevant or has suddenly become crap? I think that Mozart and Bach would take issue with that stance. Great music lasts forever.

DMB is beyond bland. I think this is why you're getting the negative DMB reaction here. I see it as the rocknroll soundtrack for soccer moms.
