“Two Step” – my all-time favorite. I think the list is right on the money!

That’s all wrong.

21. Spotlight

Very good list! what would you say, as well as dreaming tree should probably be on there. But, still a damn good list.

Dancing Nancies usually when played live featured LeRoi presence like nothing else, should have def made the list, but toher than that all accurate

Forgot one DMB classic.

“Everyone Thinks We Are Cool ‘Cause We Have (Had) a Black Saxophonist and a Soulful Sound, But Our New Age Lyrics and Whiny Singer Make us America’s Coldplay.”

I’ll never forget when they did that one live. So moving.

dreamgirl
crash into me

dreamgirl
crash into me

I wish they had mentioned which album each song was from. With all the live recordings, the same song is recording in a variety of ways, some better than others.

Grey Street…#1 on my list

i dont know how you cant even have crash into me in the top 20…

When the world ends?

Where is Crash and American Baby? Other than that I would say spot on. I would also say White Horses & All Along the Watchtower Live versions

Where is Crash and American Baby? Other than that I would say spot on. I would also say White Horses & All Along the Watchtower Live versions

Jimmi Thing? Everyday?

OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE HAVE CERTAIN LIVE PERFROMANCES OF A PARTICULAR SONG THAT THEY WOULD RANK OVER ANOTHER.. AS A GENERALIZED IT IS PRETTY SPOT ON!

Two Step is definitely right to be at #1 by popularity vote.

This is the BEST list of songs!

YOU CANT PUT CRASH INTO ME ON THE LIST ITS TOO MAINSTREAM AND IF YOU ARE TRULY IN THE WAREHOUSE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND

I hate when people say crash and American baby are the. They aren’t bad but their not the best. They are the biggest dmb noob songs

How can everyone forget “Let You Down,” “#34 (with lyrics; search Feb & March of 93.) If anyone is looking for the best version of “All Along The Watchtower,” check out the Live Trax #2 release in San Fran. Dave gets Santana, and they kill it!!! As far as the rest go..

#40 (See Live at Yoshi’s (5.10.95)
Don’t Burn The Pig (5.10.95)
Stone, The
Lover Lay Down
Dreaming Tree, The
Christmas Song, The
Halloween
41 Police (the song that would become #41)
Bartender (Live Versions Only!!)
Any Noise/Anti-Noise (song that became Say Goodbye)

If you are looking for songs that never got their due…

Say Goodbye
Grace Is Gone
Busted Stuff (Live: Warehouse 8 Vol. 2)
Typical Situation
Dreamed I Killed God (only played with Tim in the spring of 97)

COVERS:
Exodus
Eyes Of The World (8.11.95)
Redemption Song
Stir It Up
Tangerine

Check these songs, then get back to me about being a “real” fan of DMB. I’ve been a fan for almost 17 years, so if you want a real list, check this one out…

List is almost perfect – but I would have had “#41″ be at the top and I would replace “Bartender” with “Jimi Thing”

Been listening and see Dave shows for a long time now and this list is a great one if folks are looking for the 20 best DMB souding songs. Nice mix.

More hardcore folks might pick some more obscure stuff, but this list is right on the money.

A true DMB fan would put Mother Father on the list.

the idea of you?
oh?
some devil?
rhyme and reason?
lie in our graves?
grave digger?
stay or leave?
steady as we go?
no matter what, this list could never be complete…ive never met a dave song i didnt like

i only saw one person say You Never Know. That is the greatest DMB song ever. it tells a story like everysong, but this one is different.

Live at Folsom Field is the greatest version.

And stone is a close second followed by Grey Street Live Trax vol. 2
and Raven Live Trax Vol. 2

People don’t understand it is a generalized list… I’m fairly surprised that “Everyday” isn’t on here, because that always get’s the crowd into it. Always a fun song.

Ranking lists are never perfect. Everyone will have their own idea of what is the best. I base my opinion on hearing live versions of the songs for the most part. Here is my list:
1. Jimi Thing
2. Two Step
3. Sugar Will
4. Trippin Billies
5. Seek Up
6. Grace Is Gone
7. Warehouse
8. Lie in Our Graves
9. Louisiana Bayou
10. Ants Marching
11. Watchtower
12. Crush
13. Grey street
14. Rapunzel
15. #41
16. Smooth Rider
17. Dancing Nancies
18. The Stone
19. Typical Situation
20. Don’t Drink the Water

My top 4

1. Crush
2. Raven
3. Grey Street
4. Grace is Gone

Grace is gone has got to be my favorite Dave song. Each of their songs are beautiful and full of meaning.

everyday is my favorite dmb song by far…

i think some people miss the point that what makes DMB a sound group is that the art they produce can work in so many different ways…and affect so many different “genres” of people. don’t hate on people who enjoy mainstream–they have their place. don’t hate on people who enjoy old school–they have their place. in the end, it’s about the joy you get from hearing their music, whether it came from the radio, a cd, or a concert.

anyway, my top DMB song is “the idea of you”, not for necessarily how it can be interpreted, but for both the aura the band creates with it. a lot of passion can be heard in dave’s voice, and he says himself at the end, “by the way…i LOVE that song!”

i’m done.
