DMB being sued by Illinois

I always hated DMB... but thats because I never listened to them at all. I just heard the recent singles and thought it was junk. But my brother had the Before These Crowded Streets CD on his computer and it's really fuckin good. I can't really get into the recent stuff but that album is balls.
 
I like the older DMB stuff, their material was very hit or miss with me. Maybe I just dont get it.

I heard some of their live CD, and was RATHER impressed tho. To the point where I'd consider paying REAL money to see them live
