And John Mayer. They’re like the Holy Trinity in the form of modern day minstrels. I don’t like the lot of them. I know, not liking DMB is unconstitutional or some shit…
I checked with my mom and she says Dave Matthews is alive. I say we put him on a billing along with Huey Lewis and The News and Rick Springfield. Hat Trick of suckage
Umm…no fuckin’ way. Jack Johnson is a singer songwriter. Dave brought together a unique group of musicians and created a new sound. Dave’s lyrics are by far superior. Dave uses his voice as a instrument; JJ sings. DMB sells out arenas, all over the world, every year. Need I go on?
BTW I do not like Johnson or Mayer. And I’ve seen DMB 20 times. 2 more in September.
OK this is really very interesting to me, and although I never heard of Johnson before running across this question, the melody of his song Gone sounds eerily a lot like Oh at about 1:20 minutes into Gone. Weird. Very weird. But no—there will never be another Dave. sigh
i love jack johnson, and have for years.
i don’t really know who dave matthews is, but i seem to remember my old teacher playing his music in class. i remember it being vaguely annoying, but i could be totally off. really though, i’m just wondering why there’s so much jack johnson hate. he has a nice voice, and he writes nice songs. i don’t see anything overly hate-able about him, whether you listen to him or not.
