1. I guess I choose Dave.
At least sometimes his guitar work is interesting.

15. I like most of Dave's songs...
He's got interesting harmonies, and he's not afraid to break away from straight 2 and 3 beat time signatures. He doesn't have a refined voice, and sometimes I'm annoyed by not being able to understand what he's singing, but he is expressive. And I love his fiddle player. :hi:

2. Jack Johnson. I don't like the way Matthews sings.
Also, I liked the Curious George soundtrack.

He was cool, watch the documentary 'unforgivable blackness' sometime. 5/5 stars.

I have never heard of Jack Johnson the musician.

4. You would think a common name like Jack Johnson would have more than
one famous owner. But the boxer is the only one I ever heard of also. So I will vote for him.

6. Jack Johnson 'cause he's local
and he does good things for the 'aina (land). (In case you're wondering, kama'aina literally means "child of the land"; it is colloquially used to mean "local person, as opposed to Mainland or Japanese visitor".) Google "Kokua Festival" for details.

7. How about neither?
Whoever wins this poll, the loser is all of us.

9. JJ because his tour bus has never dumped raw sewage while driving over a bridge grate
with boaters underneath

A bus driver for US rock group The Dave Matthews Band pleaded guilty on Wednesday to dumping 800lb (360kg) of human waste onto a sightseeing boat. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4335667.stm

13. You mean they're not the same person?
I thought it was some sort of Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines thing...

The band or the state of existence.

17. Knowing almost nothing about Jack Johnson, I'd go with Jack Johnson
I never got the appeal of Dave Matthews, despite being a teenager in the mid-late 1990's.

18. Dave: His band is absolute SICKNESS!
As much as I love LeRoi Moore, now with jeff Coffin (Bela Fleck)on Saxophone(s) and Tim Reynolds on ELECTRIC GUITAR, the band is pure fire.

Not a big jack fan. So many bands do what he does.
