Its weird that so many people got hooked by Crush, because I did too. I was watching MTV and the video came on and I just thought Dave was awesome. I've been hooked ever since.

for me it was when i moved to GA to live with my cousin for a while, he played dave all the way home.

i was instantly hooked, and its hard for me to pinpoint exactly what song got me hooked, but i guess it was the sound altogether, but i would have to say, l@lc is hands down my favorite album.

Hmm, not sure if it's what hooked me, but first dave song I like was of course... crush.

i hated DMB with all that i am. i used to skate and well, DMB and skating didn't mix well. I used to listen to only punk music. i bought a skating video. as i was watching one segment they had this amazingly deep and ominous song playing with like full orchestra and the oboes came in and i was like "holy jeez this song is awesome". I had memorized the lyrics from watching that segment so much and can still recall the entire skating sequence. i went another few months before i found out it was "the Stone". and i went out and bought BTCS and have been hooked ever since. The Stone is still my favorite song. It is just an amazing song. it is funny cuz i seriously hated DMB. i would make fun of people and thought i was so badass. what a change.....

LIOG was what convinced me to go out and buy the other albums. and really DMB has broadened my scope to enjoying basically every type of music. from Rap to Bluegrass. and i credit that change to Dave.

I heard DMB before UTAD came out.
Rookies.
I was never hooked.

I bawl my eyes out everytime I hear Cry Freedom/L@LC and Say Goodbye/Crash, but the song that holds a special place in my heart the most is Warehouse/L@LC.
The passion intro, with Dave eerily crying out in the background, brings to mind a nightmare you are stuck in and cannot extract yourself from. Even though Warehouse is the longest song on L@LC, the song never lags because it is already at full throttle by the first verse. The chorus is like tiptoeing through a graveyard, with Tim's creepy high fret licks lurking behind Dave's strumming like ghosts. And the final chord ends the song on a hopeful, emotional note, as if the listener was finally emerging from an odyssey through the underworld.

Best of What's Around. I didn't know DMB and converted my friends 6/7/98 tape to CD back in 1998...when CD Burners were like $500. I did it analog!!! Popped in tape and BAM, Best of What's Around came on. From that night on I was fucking hooked

i'd have to say the first dave song i heard was stay when i saw the music video on vh1 .. an i thought, that's a pretty cool song, i kind of like this guy but i never really got into him until i started listening to some of his older stuff, instead of the stuff they played on the radio all the time..after that i was hooked

I've been a fan of DMB's music since I got the cassette of UTAD. Yeah, that's right, the cassette. I still have it in my closet somewhere I think. But, I was never that interested in playing his music. I thought Dave and his band made great music but never thought of him as anything exceptional as a musician. Then one night at like 12:30am I was flipping b/w channels and I saw Dave pop up on PBS. I thought WTF. He was on the Charlie Rose show. When he soloed the Stone at the end I was amazed. Truly impressed at his talent and inspired. I'll post the link to the clip for any of the poor souls who may not have heard/seen this. http://www.dmbml.com/downloads/videos.html
