TOP 10 REASONS FOR DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
1. Every live show is different.
2. Better "All Along the Watchtower" cover than U2.
3. Dave Matthews' percussive guitar-playing style works better in a dorm room on acoustic guitar than the styles of, say, Johnny Marr or Kevin Shields.
4. Percussion that actually works as its own instrument rather than as a simple time-keeping device.
5. "Two Step"
6. They had an album that almost never saw the light of day due to major-label boneheadedness... just like Wilco and Killer Mike.
7. Saxamophone
8. Khakis
9. "#40" (5/10/95)
10. Dave Matthews wants you to crash into him while he comes into you.
And yes, I know Letterman was on anyway. That one magazine profile of him a decade or so ago was really good.
