The Top 50 Project
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Site News at 6:53pm on Thursday, Oct 28th, 2010Everyone loves lists. Decades end with best movie and best album lists. Magazines wouldn't even exist without lists (looking at you, Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly). We admit, we're trend followers. Antsmarching.org has put together the top 50 Dave Matthews Band songs. In order.
Throughout the month of November, culminating the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, we will reveal the top 50 vote-getters from our esteemed panel of "experts". And no, that doesn't mean the admins and mods of this site. What we did was try and find an accurate representation of the community at large. Voters were "old" (that's 40's in internet lore), young (late teens/early 20's), female, male, non-American, many seen shows, to no seen shows. We also have votes from fans who do not frequent the message boards. Interestingly, the range of songs didn't differ greatly from fan to fan.
We will reveal the first ten, 50-41, Monday, November 1 (the day before the fall tour). And the rest will spill out in 10's until the final 10 the Wednesday before Thanksgiving (November 24 for those that don't live in the Turkey-consuming country of America).
About the list: There are no parameters. The only rule was no covers. Dave solo songs were OK, sound check songs, studio only, Boyd songs, anything. Some people gave specific performances (e.g. #40 yoshi's), others were non-specific. Not everyone will agree with the list, but we're pretty OK with the 50 songs that made the cut.
For those that didn't make the cut? Well, there were some stunners for certain. Like Satellite and Everyday to name two. Check back to see what else didn't make it in November.
