Rain King
A Murder Of One
Omaha
Angels Of The Silences
Colorblind
August And Everything After (I have a live version of the song. Pwn)
Anna Begins
Cowboys
Holiday In Spain

Also, Raining In Baltimore was the first song I ever heard by them, so for that reason its close to my heart, but not one of my favorites.


I fucking love the Counting Crows. I may see them in August....and everything after. I will, unfortunately, have to suffer Maroon 5.

Certainly not the worst band of all time but not the best. My roommate listened to them religiously last year and I learned to enjoy them when he put them on. I think some of their Grateful Dead covers are pretty good.

Admittedly, I dont listen to too much current music, but, I dig the CC's, saw them 2 times @ the Aladdin(Vegas), and they kicked ass.

I think they are a wonderful band, but there is definitely better. Mr. Jones of course is a classic though. I just wish they did more up to the calibre of Mr. Jones. Too bad.

I like them, they write awesome tunes. August and Everything After was the disc I loved too, could listen to it for hours.

For my two bits they are not all that bad if you like to listen to what everyone else has listend to for the last 10 years, take all of that in a condensed format and you have the 'counting crows'. I think that these days for a group to get a certain reach/customer base/listerners, they have to provide some amount of originality.

Their lyrics are amazing! I saw them live in concert in 1997 along with a bunch of other bands at Rockfest.

Has anyone heard the new album? It's getting really strong reviews. I'm planning to dig into it this weekend but I was wondering how other fans were taking it. I heard one track and I felt like it was a return to form. Here's a quick review that might be easier to digest than the full Meta-critic page.

I think that the band had a couple of catchy tunes, but died a quick death like Hootie and the Blow Fish and so many other bands from that era..........
