Dave Matthews Band Songs: Ranked

 If you know me, or even anything about me at all, you know I am a Dave Matthews Band fan. Since 1997! They have a very large catalogue of songs, and for the fun of it, I thought I would rank the songs from my favorite to my least favorite. I got the inspiration to do this from my mate kit10phish, because she is doing that with the Indigo Girls, of which she is a big fan of. You can find her blog here: http://kit10phish.wordpress.com

Now a disclaimer: I am a big Dave fan. A Davehead, if you will. BUT... a lot of these fan favorite songs are not on my "Awesome" list because I have heard them sooooo many times that I've just gotten exhausted of them. So don't get upset if you see YOUR favorite on my "meh" list or something.

I included songs from Dave's solo album, and a few of these also might be live-only, but if they're played a lot they ended up here.

I have set this up in terms of Awesome, Great, Good, and Meh. Originally, the categories were "Fave", "Good" "Okay" and "Not Fave." But I realized even their worst (in my opinion) songs are still pretty damn good. So please remember this is MY opinion, and probably nowhere near the same opinion as anyone else. I have unique tastes. Later, I plan on ranking their albums (not including live... there's like 50 Live Trax and other live releases and that would take way too long to try and rank).
