the greatest guitar ever it has anything,really one of the greatest

salmaj

Crash holds a soft spot in my heart from the past and moving to the future... One of the bands'best efforts.
Even though I find myself rediscovering songs in the DMB library from time to time, I always seem to come back to this one.

2#41 - Crash
Absolute best song in the history of the world. If there was ever a song that could lift you up after a hard day, this would undoubtedly be that song. It only gets better if you listen to it live at radio city with tim reynolds.
Best, most beautiful song Ive ever heard in my life. It always make things seem better. I sounds better every time listen to it. I have no clue how anyone could say that this isn't the best.
I heard it when I was 12 and didn't even understand what he was saying, all I knew was that it was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. 8 years later it is still undoubtedly my favorite song. Check out the version from "live at luther college"

7Two Step - Crash

Superb. A must. Will forever be etched in my mind as part of my forma
Tive years.

The various instruments, the lyrics, the concert aspect. Just EVERYTHING about it! Its perfect! "celebrate we will, because life is short but sweet for certain!

Probably my favorite song of all time. Its very hard to choose because I love DMB and I love 90's music, so DMB's 90's albums are definitely prime.

10The Stone - Before These Crowded Streets
Older, but late DMB fan. Was watching American Idol with my daughter and heard Phillip Phillips do this song. Went online and have been singing it for 2 weeks. A beuatifully haunting & complex song. Deep message. I like Sade and Steven Curtis Chapman too, but this song is addictive if you're deep.
One of my favorites! Such deep deep lyrics.. That pierce you! I love this song!

27Bartender - DMB Live Trax, Vol. 6

Live at radio city with Mr Tim is amazing!

Bartender is more of a slow burn song, but when it finally busts out into an epic jam, it is easy to lose yourself in this DMB standard. Driving, epic, and poetic, its always been my favorite
