anyone NOT like Ants Marching?

so I was thinking... "will the band ever write another song as classic as Ants Marching?" when I remembered someone mentioning that Grey Street is sort of like the new Ants Marching...

which made me think.. I've never really ever heard anyone on am.org say that they didn't like Ants Marching.. and for that matter, nor have I heard anyone say they didn't like Grey Street. I'll always be happy to listen to either, and if I catch either at a show, I think they both will always make the show better...

so I'm wondering... does anyone here NOT like Ants Marching? (or Grey Street for that matter)

I think I may have finally found something all us ants can agree on.. and who would have guessed... it's ants.

    Its not that I don't like Grey Street... I just wouldn't put it in the same category as Ants. I was talking about this the other day with a friend. If they closed EVERY show I went to with Ants, I wouldn't complain (assuming the sets were different show-to-show). On the other hand, I've heard Grey Street at 6 out of 14 shows, and I wouldn't be mad if I never heard it again.

    Re: anyone NOT like Ants Marching?

    What makes this songs so "classic" is that they have mass appeal.

    Songs like The Last Stop or Minarets (they both have the mid-eastern style) are almost an aquired taste.

    Anyone who doesn't really listen to a lot of DMB will undoubtedly like Ants Marching and Grey Street.

    Hell, even my mom does.

    I will never get sick of being at a show and hearing ants; it was the first DMB song I ever heard live.

    I don't think you can not like ants and call yourself a fan of dmb.... its just one of those songs that defines a band.... great great song by the way

    My friend who actually really likes DMB absolutely hates Ants Marching. I think it's weird, but oh well.

    Whenever I'm driving somewhere with my friends, i have to listen to DMB because uh, its my car.. my music and they are not dmb fans... however, they ALWAYS request to hear Ants Marching! Its a classic. It makes me feel good that we can all sing the song together.. even if I know all the words and theyre mumbling "take these chances la da do de do da.. quieter time ???" haha

    I agree. Grey Street is very good, but it isn't one of my very favorites.

    Ants Marching I think may be my favorite pop song of all time.

    It's not in my top 20 or 25, but I like the song. I am extremely tired of it though, and would be fine if I didn't hear it for a very long time.

    I love Ants Marching, never get tired of the song. The only other DMB song that I get sort of the same feeling as I do during Ants is Billies, but there is nothing new about that song.

    Grey Street is great, but overall I just do not get the same feeling as I do during Ants, it is hard to describe, but not many songs make me feel as happy as I am when Ants is playing

    im not tring to be the odd one out, but i can honestly say ants for me is played out. I cannot stand to put it on for my own listening pleasure. I can listen to it live because its a great song, but i hate the song if im not there listening to it.
