Ants. Its their anthem. It has totally stood the test of time.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

Both songs have been around since the beginning and yet everyone still likes them. As opposed to songs like Recently, Crash, and DDTW, their popularity fluctuates. But Tripping and Ants have always been popular for both the band and the fans.

I don't think a song's popularity is what makes it a masterpiece

just because UTTAD HELPED them become popular doesn't mean it defines them. dmb's anthem would have to be a collaboration album of their best stuff from each record, it's the only way to capture the whole band. The only reason i named those others is because it's pretty undisputable that those are their best albums/peaks of their existances. Look at the "best dave album" threads, UTTAD isn't even number 1...usually BTCS is.

Concert reaction has to be a big part of a songs popularity. Ants always tops that category. It may be a bit of a cult song, but it is still a quality, well produced, and well-played song.

I have to say that Dreaming Tree is a masterpiece. Quite possibly the best lyrics to any DMB song.

I dont think DMB has any masterpieces. They have some damn good songs. But no masterpieces. There's a difference.
