    RR 95 version of BOWA was the song that turned me into a DMB fan

    Definitely top 10. Since it's the opening track on UTTAD it's probably the first song I ever heard from them when my 11th grade English teacher played the album for us on one of the last days of the school year in 1995.

    It also opened my first show (Gorge 7.11.1997).
    As I looked around and watched thousands of people swaying and smiling as they sang "Oh Oh, Hey La. Oh Oh, Hey La" I knew I'd be seeing this band live many, many times.

    Voted Top 20, would have picked Top 15 if it were an option. Feels like 11-13 range or so.

    Favorite song by the band for sure. Hit the roof when I finally got it at Hartford in 2013.

    Yeah, exactly. I dunno that it would crack the top 30, but it might be close.

    But it's a long way from the bottom end of the scale with garbage like Be Yourself, Mercy and Corn Bread.

    I don't think that's what I said at all, unless you're suggesting BOWA is mandatory in my list of what I like.

    Top 10 tune for me. Took me way too long to finally catch it and I've still only seen it three times.

    It's a good song...however I am really starting to appreciate the longer jams like Seek Up and #41...I just love how they build and you don't want them to end...I really think they are in a league of their own...I got both at Bristow!!!!

    BOWA and OSW should be opening shows, on the regular.

    This is one of those songs I don't "think" of, but when I hear it, I fall back in love with DMB.

    It just has that quality.

    It's almost unlike any other DMB song.

    Top 15 for me. I can easily see why it's a top 10 for many, it's such a great song. It should be a no-brainer regular every year.

    Changing my vote. Might legitimately be my all-time favorite song.

    I did a ranking of every Dave/DMB song ever awhile back and this only made #51. Doesn't mean I don't like the song; this poll just has trash options. I really enjoy the song... there's just 50 other ones I would pick before this one.

    A DMB top 20 is damn near impossible for me. I've tried and tried, and can never settle on one. Not even close. Honestly, a top 50 is what I go off, and even that leaves out a few favorites/classics. That said, I chose top 20 because it's closer to #20 than to like #116 or something

    Definitely top 10 for me. Some days I may even consider it top 3. Beside the Stone at 1 the rest of the top ten is more like 1a. 1b. 1c. etc.
