Are Any Members of DMB Your Favorite Musician of All-Time?

canes101190 · 11-06-2009, 07:24 PM

SSIA.

Would you say an individual member of DMB is your favorite musician of all-time on his respective instrument? Remember, "favorite" doesn't mean "best" so let's try not to get into that argument because that shit can go on for years.

I'd say Carter is without a doubt my favorite drummer ever, and he is personally my favorite musician to listen to. I'd put Tim up there on guitarists but not necessarily at the top, his acoustic work is what really puts him above alot of guys out there today.

Thoughts?

i agree. carter and boyd are my favorites at their respected positions

CGTP13 · 11-06-2009, 07:26 PM

Carter and Tim are 2 of my favorites. Dave as well for lyrics.

canes101190 · 11-06-2009, 07:31 PM

Yeah Dave is definitely one of my favorite writers for sure.

I don't know enough about the violin world to pass judgement on Boyd. I mean I love his playing and will always, but I guess he's my favorite by default since I probably couldn't name another violin player

Rashawn is my favorite "cool guy in a band"

proppenator · 11-06-2009, 07:38 PM

Jeff is probably my favorite sax player.

I agree 100% with Carter being my favorite drummer but Boyd?? I would definitely have to give Miriam Sturm the top billing on favorite Violinists

I feel like that fits Tim more

bloodybob · 11-06-2009, 08:03 PM

I looove Jeff on the sax, but moreso from Flecktones work than DMB. Probably in my top 5 sax players. Carter is definitely one of my favorite all time drummers as well(probably 1), he was what got me into the band.

...and Boyd doesn't know how to play the violin.

jasonfilatov · 11-06-2009, 08:12 PM

carter as a drummer and dave as a writer

Jack7238 · 11-06-2009, 08:12 PM

carter. dave. roi.

clayj41 · 11-06-2009, 08:16 PM

Jeff is my favorite sax player. Carter might be my favorite drummer.

Corduroy Boy · 11-06-2009, 08:22 PM

Dave Matthews surely inspired me and influenced me more than any other person in the world sans my family at one point in my life. I don't listen to DMB too much these days, but when I do, I'm finding that I took Leroi's genius for granted when he was alive.

I think Dave is probably my favorite singer/songwriter. I know he has written some stinkers, but everything on UTTAD, Crash, and BTCS is quality work.

Bohrman26 · 11-06-2009, 09:06 PM

Carter is my favorite drummer of all time. (this is a double spaced indention) ALL TIME!

crazyeasy22 · 11-06-2009, 09:10 PM

Dave Matthews

Ericdmbfn20 · 11-06-2009, 10:24 PM

My favorite musician of all time is Charlie Parker. What that man did with a saxophone was utterly amazing!

timg1414 · 11-06-2009, 10:47 PM

None are my favorite of all time, but Carter definitely comes the closest to cracking the tops.

mary ellen · 11-06-2009, 11:00 PM

No

vtshwheels77 · 11-07-2009, 12:45 AM

Carter for Heisman

greyst21985 · 11-07-2009, 01:32 AM

I love Pearl Jam the most to be honest

Just fuckin with you guys

Matt McKibben · 11-07-2009, 01:40 AM

This question made me think about something.

Then I thought about something else.

Then I remembered how bad Jimmy Fallon sucks the big fat one.

Fuck you, Jim. You're really not that funny at all.

Dave rules.

Auzz76 · 11-07-2009, 01:47 AM

Dave is my favorite front man. Carter is pretty much my favorite musician period. Leroi made me love saxophone. And Rashawn is just the shit

joshizzle3 · 11-07-2009, 01:54 AM

Robert Allen Zimmerman for me

JohnK86 · 11-07-2009, 05:07 AM

I´d say that Carter, Leroi, Jeff, Rashawn, Timmy, Dave and Stefan are all some of my all-time favorite musicians.

Dreaming Jimi · 11-07-2009, 06:31 AM

Carter Jeff and Dave for rhythm guitar

Gaijin86 · 11-07-2009, 07:27 AM

Carter is my favorite drummer, Leroi is my favorite saxophonist, Boyd is my favorite violonist (although there isn't anyone else I listen to challenging him for that position), but I have to with Colin Greenwood as my favorite bassist and Thom Yorke as my favorite writer/singer. Dave would be a very close second for that latter position, though.
