This list of the top Dave Matthews Band songs is a result of the 2013 DMBnews.net Song Poll. We asked readers to vote for the top Dave Matthews Band songs in three categories: personal favorites, classics and best songs.

Here’s the criteria used for voting for the top Dave Matthews Band songs in each category:

• Personal favorites: “Which songs do I like the best?”
• Classics: “Which songs get the loudest reactions at concerts? Which songs will DMB most be remembered for?”
• Best songs: “Which songs have the best lyrics, musicianship and emotion?”

On each ballot, the No. 1 song in each category received five points, down to one point for the No. 5 song. Then we tallied up the points and produced this overall list of the top Dave Matthews Band songs. Below, you can also find the results for the top Dave Matthews Band songs in each of the individual categories.

There were 551 voters in the poll.
