Dave Matthews Band August 20, 2007

Fusing folk-rock, world beat, jazz and pop, the Dave Matthews Band is arguably the most musically adept of all its contemporaries. Much of Pete Yorn's appeal is his down-to-earth vibe: He's cool enough for the indie crowd, tuneful enough for more mature listeners and he rocks enough to keep things interesting. His lyrics are clever but not cute and his voice conveys an earnest quality that never sounds forced or canned.
