Dave Matthews Band is the most blues band to me, although i knew The Doors and Keane long before, I never put them in the genre blues thanks to my ignorance of rock knowledge. Dave Matthews is "most blues" because I was introduced to this band as a blues band. I had such a antagonism with blues.. Thought them all to be very dull and boring that when I heard "Crash in to me" I left all my prejudices behind. Now I am so very devoted to this band lying down my eternal servitude :D to them. Just love the voice of Dave the way he croons 'crash into me...' in the live version.. the way the saxophone (LeRoi Moore) and the drums(Carter Beauford ) and all the various sounds they innovate blending in harmoniously. Its like Dave's guitar and Stefans's bass and Moore's Saxophone racing against each other ahead of what your musical ears can catch and then the sudden divination hits you and you go reeling back with perfect ecstasy. They are good, no, that's not the word geniuses, yeah!.
