i believe DADGBD is double drop d tuning. it probably says on the same site that found this:

D G D G B E -- G6 / Drop-G Randy Scruggs and Chet Atkins - Both Sides Now and Yellow Bird, John Renbourn - John's Tune, David Gilmour, Pat Kirtley... This is just a step beyond Drop-D tuning: the 5th string is also lowered a full step, leaving the upper four strings as in standard tuning. "I use that for The Great Gig In the Sky [on a lap steel guitar]. That allows me to form a minor chord on the first three strings, and a major chord with all the other strings." - David Gilmour, 1997 [Good idea: those chords are the relative minor and relative major of each other: Em and G, respectively, in open position.]

Everlong by the Foo Fighters is a great Drop D song. The acoustic Howard Stern version has got to be the most downloaded song of all time because I think every person I have ever talked to has a copy of it.

A lot of Rage Against the machine stuff from their first album is in drop d. Nothing else is really coming to mind.

Say Love is a drop d song . . .

And Drop D also makes playing some of those tough power chords easier.

No I'm not serious.
