I would have to say Jimi Thing from the Central park show.

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.

Under the Table & Dreaming Put The Band On the Map bro

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

amen...nor does an album.

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.

i agree wholeheartedly....ANTS is the most unique song out there!! and is there any other song that creates as much energy at a concert than this....this song always gets the biggest reaction... i love ants marching!

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.

True, but Ants comes damn close.
