What's a band that is really popular that you don't like? Why?

I can't figure it out either, just keep playin. God I'm so fuckin rich off these stupid boring songs.

Anyway, despite a lack of hits and recording sales The Dave Matthews Band had the highest cumulative concert gross from 2000 through 2009. And 50,000 to 80,000 is considered a slow night at a DMB show, even today. So they were the highest concert draw in terms of attendance and sales for nearly ten years. And I want to know why, damn it!, why! Give me one good reason.

BRA-VO Mr. Landers, mystery solved.

First, bands people name after themselves annoy me, The Dave Clark Five, The Steve Miller Band, The Allan Parsons Project, The J. Geils Band (And no one in the band is J-fuckin-Geils, who the fuck is that?, and who was Jethro Tull for that matter?) etc.. Although, I never complained about Van Halen, to me, they were the exception so I will excuse them. And while I'm desceding into a rant here, bands named after places, Boston, Europe, Asia, Chicago, Florida Georgia Line, Kansas, Black Oak Arkansas, America, Berlin, Linkin Park [Lincoln Park section of Chicago] Cypress Hill etc.etc.. Nothing against many of those bands but come up with a name. Don't just look around at where you are. Get the creative juices flowing and come up with a clever name, you're a fuckin artist, act like one. The Beatles weren't called Liverpool. Judas Priest isn't called Birmingham UK, Led Zeppelin wasn't called London, The Ramones weren't called New York. Think how many bands would be named Los Angeles if everyone did that?, they'd break the trademark office.

The Dave Matthew's Band. Although they haven't had a hit, nor sold a significant number of recordings since the late 90s. They sell out football stadiums. And their fans will seemingly deny their children food, clothing, shelter and affection to pay ridiculous sums of money for tickets. They've really, in terms of being a massive live draw without any [recent] hits, become the modern equivalent of The Greatful Dead. Although there are absolutely no similarities in the music. Take it easy Dead-Heads. And the fuckin guy mumbles when he sings, I hate that.

Much respect to commentier Mr. Stan Landers who figured it out. The DMB was the first jam-band for women. Just like Paramore is Hard Rock for women, well it is. Now I hate stereotypes, and music is for everyone. But think about it, Phish is for stoner guys, The Greatful Dead is a way of life to some. But Dave Matthews takes a more sensitive approach to his songs. I wouldn't be surprised if one day there's a Hallmark Channel Rom-Com where the couple meets at a Dave Matthews show. Apparently a DMB show is something husbands and boyfriends get dragged to and have to pretend they like. Kinda like a trip to Bath And Body Works (the place where everyone pops a lid, smells something, and goes -“Ooh, nice, here babe smell this”), and both can often last over three hours.
