I don't agree with the idea that DMB are 'one-upping' U2...however, I must say, I don't understand how DMB could release a Best Of without 'Ants Marching' on it.

Snowlock said:Haven't liked this band since 1994, but the GF's a fanatic. DMB's premium website totally rocks, they put out quality (at least considered so by their fans) albums & DVD's regularily and constantly tour. Now, even their best of is done better than U2's:

At least we get two new songs, but I would trade those for DMB's level of album output.
If you go back and read my quote I said that "I can honestly say I have never heard anything they've ever done" meaning their songs. I was then given suggestions of some of their more popular material and I then went and listened to snippets of those songs on Amazon, then I came back and commented on what I had heard.

In relation to the quote:
You never heard of them, but then you go on and comment the songs ??? How is it possible...
ozeeko said:Actually, here's the real verdict: Who cares? Listen to both bands, or maybe just one, or neither of them. It's your choice. I like 'em both. U2 a whole lot more tho.
