Okay so the #9 worst band of all time is
DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
Why, you ask? It's the fans, simply. Dave Matthews and his band have made an extremely successful career, especially for above-average musicians. Yeah, they're all good musicians. Dave Matthews is a decent-to-good songwriter. You know that song "Crash Into Me" or whatever? It ain't bad! I mean, yeah it is, but for what it's worth, as a cheesy folk-pop song designed to remove panties from college girls instantly, it's pretty much the best there is.
But, the thing is, they're nothing spectacular.
Any music student can get a bunch of band geeks together, play some 7th chords, and start a jazzy acoustic band in college. Plenty do! You can see them on street corners, in coffee shops and open mic nites, in your sociology class. And if you're a nerd (and there's a good chance you are, if you're reading my blog) these guys probably get on your nerves. They're kind of douchey bros, most of the time, probably not as smart as you, but chicks dig them! THOSE BASTARDS!
At least, that's my take on it.
Anyway, Dave Matthews has given hope to millions of college bros, inspiration to pick up a guitar and get laid. It's said that the Velvet Underground launched a million indie rock bands. Well, Dave Matthews is kind of the Velvet Underground of bro-folk. Next time you see a guy in a polo shirt singing acoustic covers of Oasis, The Plain White T's, or Dave himself, you know who to blame.
and that is why Dave Matthews is the 9th worst band of all time.
