1.) He is not original. What are you talking about? Give me some bands that have the same sound as Dave Matthews that came out before him. I really need some proof for this point.
2.) His live performances = put me to bed. That's just your opinion, most people rave about how great his live shows are, so whatever.
3.) 95-100% of his songs sound the same. I disagree with you on this one, it's just a matter of opinion. I think he's very diverse. You could say some of his albums have the same sound, but his songs dont all sound the same.
4.) He did pick up an electric guitar and try something different on his album "Everyday." When that album first came out they played the songs "The Space Between" and "I Did It" all the time on the radio. Those are both electric guitar songs. I'm pretty sure the whole album is electric guitar.
5) You think he sucks, that's just your opinion.

Good post, I was about to respond but you pretty much hit everything I would have.
I have no problem with people who don't like a band but to write them off for completely ignorant reasons is, well... ignorant.
