Two of my favorite bands came out with albums this year.
Grux grux king and backspacer. All in all it's been a good year for music.
However I think Dave Matthews band put out a better album then pearl Jam.


What are your thoughts???

    IMO, two of the best albums this year. I say Backspacer wins by an inch.

    Backspacer by an inch. But it needs to be said that the DMB album is their best one put out since "Before These Crowded Streets," if not their best, period.

    I've never been into Dave Matthews or his band, so I have to go with Backspacer.

    the DMB record is pretty good...but not anywhere near Backspacer (in my opinion)
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Disagree. I know that everyone says that DMB is for frat boy douches, but you have to give the band credit for being extremely skilled at their instruments, and Dave Matthews is also a great song writer. I think if you ever experience the band at the Gorge, you won't be posting snarky comments like passing a Natty Ice.

    I have to say Backspacer because I am not a big DMB fan but I have to say that the DMB drummer is far and away one of the most skilled drummers I have ever seen or heard.

    I think that's the thing w/ DMB is they are all great musicians. But big deal. I took my cousin who is a huge DMB (56 shows or something like that) to his 1st Pearl Jam show last year in Hartford. His jaw dropped. Could not believe the energy of the band, especially Eddie. Then he was blown away in Philly this year after seeing DMB 6 times last summer. Not to say that DMB doesn't put on a great show, but him and that acoustic guitar just standing there would get on my nerves after the 3rd song.

    Him and that acoustic guitar just standing there...
    and his voice...

    are what annoys me about DMB.

    DMB...I laugh....why do you ask?

    yes they are skilled musicians but they suck

    comparing PJ to DMB is like comparing PJ to a corny peanut infested turd....there is no comparison

    it's like comparing Led Zeppelin to Poison
