I'm with you. I can listen to DMB and appreciate their brass section, their drummer, their violin guy...but I just don't like all of it together. Never got into them.
I'm seeing the black keys on the 10th, super stoked. Drummer isn't Buddy Rich but he's tight as hell. They're from Akron Ohio too which is cool.
