This result should be no surprise, as fans have long considered 1998′s Before These Crowded Streets to be DMB’s studio masterpiece. It contains several of the band’s most treasured songs, such as “Crush,” “The Stone” and “Pig,” and its intricate production and layered textures set it apart from other efforts.
