Billy K. Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Dave Matthews' music is really popular, and the guy sells a lot of CDs and packs them in at concerts. His music doesn't punch you out, like a lot of punk and metal bands.....isn't about ballads....and is about right in the middle as you can get.So, you can't fault the guy, and especially with a violinist in the band----which is not normally a "rock" instrument.He also is a good community person....does a lot of things for charity and social consciousness. And in fact, is one to add extra shows for the fans.There are a lot of things that compell me to want to LIKE the guy's music.......but you know, his stuff kind of "goes through me"----really doesn't do anything for me. Don't hate it.....but I don't get it.What's your opinion on Matthews' music? Just curious...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boopell Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 He's ok...I bought one of his cds a few years back for one song-"Crash". I didn't really like anything else on the cd. I don't think I really like his voice and I like a more solid sound in music. But, from what I've seen in interviews, he seems to be a great guy and, like you, I wish I could like his music but also like you, it really doesn't do anything for me.

Captain Harlock Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Honestly I don't understand the appeal. The songs are mediocre at best. The best way I can describe him is that he's like wallpaper. The songs just kind of hang there and you really don't notice them after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I used to work with someone who was following Dave Matthews like I was following Kiss at the time - I was seriously worried for the man - his music puts me to sleep as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
