No. Not at all.
Who cares if this was what shot them into popularity, and furthermore who cares if this is their "anthem"? I for one believe that this song hardly touches what this band has to offer. If there is one thing I cannot stand about the DMB community it is the absolute blind love/worship for this song.
sorry to burst your bubble but contrary to popular belief a large majority of their catalog is MUCH better written or composed.
thanks for judging me as a person based off of one comment. its cool if you like Ants Marching, but I think its complete ignorance if you like the song best because its THE song.
and yes DaD is much, much better than Ants Marching. And guess what? its my OPINION so you gonna bash me for that? because in no way did I bash anyone for liking Ants. I just brought up differing opinions.
thats all I am saying. I feel like people don't speak up on these boards because they are afraid of disscussion. All I am doing is trying to make an arguement for the not so popular side, and one of my biggest opinions involving DMB.
not at all. but you're right. maybe I was being a little too harsh about the head shaking. But I'd be lying if I said I wouldnt intially respect somebody more if they answered Dreaming Tree or Warehouse as opposed to ANts Marching. That is all I was trying to say.
If I was a tool then I would sit back, and let everybody glorify a song that is already overglorified. You don't have to get upset just because somebody disagrees with you. I am as a big of a fan as everyone of you, just with a different taste and style.
Also in no way am I bashing you for liking ANts Marching, but I respectfully disagree of it being the ULTIMATE DMB song.
good for you. not like I care about what people think anyway. I have a real life. I am just trying to make a point, and i admit in sort of dramatic manner. But nonetheless its pretty pathetic when people think they are so cool by coming in here and saying "you like ______ ahh shit. You stupid fuck." I mean WOW....great contribution. Sorry for wanting to talk about this taboo topic.
Ants is DMB. That is what they are most known for. It is their anthem. But musically and lyrically, it is NOT their best song. There are many other songs better than Ants, but when someone says they're not familiar with DMB, the first thing you say to them is "Have you ever heard the song Ants Marching?"
you're first part sums up what I am against. ANd your second part sums up what I am trying to say.
