#3 Dave Matthews Band

There are days when I think DMB is absolutely my favorite band.  Even though a lot of people find them “too popular” or high-strung, very few of the criticisms I’ve heard directed toward them are actually about the music, and there’s a good reason for that.  They’re really stinking good.  Even if Dave’s voice is […]
