Dave Matthews Band 


I think of DMB like Bluegrass music. 

You may not like it, but it is pretty good


I don't get the not liking Dave Matthews because its Dave Matthews....who the frick came up with that viewpoint...DMB is my favorite group and I don't give a frick if other people have a problem with it.

LZ sold a shitload of records, and thanks to that inspired imitators. But what was their influence outside the music industry?

Beatles changed fashion, hairstyles, filmmaking... Watch TV shows from the '60s and you will hear constant references to the Beatles. If you watch every prime time show from the '70s you might not hear five references to LZ. Hell even David Bowie was probably bigger in the culture than LZ, and he sold far fewer records.



Anybody that was that popular and sold that many albums and sold that many concert tickets over so long a period did have a great influence. They didn't have to pander to TV to be influential. Bowie was influential to a much smaller audience here in America.

I've read you harp on Zeppelin's 'plagiarism' before. Yet you never mention the plagarism of a band like the Rolling Stones, who stole just as many if not more riffs and song structures. You seem to give a free pass to bands you like. Someone with the knowledge of music that you have has to know how widespread the cribbing was and is even today. To vilify one act so specifically makes me wonder what the real motive is, other than hate.

You question their 'ethics', yet you'll make a petty, juvenile statement about someone you don't know?

LZ ripped off old southern delta blues artists among other songwriters at that time

they stole the music and melody for stairway from their opening band they had on a tour

Dave Matthews did that cover. I find it decent. Certainly not a Hendrix or Dylan level, but nothing that I think is awful either.

I'll lean towards Kafka's opinion on that cover.

The biggest difference is that The Rolling Stones weren't as blatant about it and acknowledged where the heart of their sound was from. Early on they mention they want to be a band that plays Chicago style blues of the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf . Their name is from a Muddy Waters tune. They even recorded at Chess records. They did covers. Of course back then it was a different standard of crediting so LZ may not be at total fault.

Justin Timberlake will be looked upon as an entertainer. The guy is talented.

As for musicians: (on my peripheral)

Derek Trucks
Warren Haynes
Mavis Staples
Buddy Guy

I can't disagree with this.

I'll throw Incubus and Tool out there.

I think Mofro will have an impressive catalog if they can keep it up

Eta: not a big fan, but I'm sure RHCP will be favorably remembered
