One of my FAVORITE bands that I think everyone else hates (or definitely won't admit to liking) is Counting Crows. Duritz is a great writer and the arrangements are always perfect.

 

 

I LOVE me some Couting Crows. Mrs. Potter's Lullaby is pure win.

Wow, I saw a lot of my "likes" posted already . . . how uncool am I?

 

Nevermind, I've always known the answer to that.

 

Some I haven't seen yet:

 

Great White (that's right! I said it! Love these guys form the EP on.)

Toad The Wet Sprocket

Joan Osbourne

Pink

Lacuna Coil

 

Hmm . . . are we talking about what's cool around here or in the real world? Because if it's the former, most of the stuff I listen to would qualify because it's stuff that non-musicians have probably heard of and may even *gasp* be on the radio.

I'll never forget that show.

June 1994

The Capri (Old Capri Theater)

Charlotte N.C.

One of the tightest bands I had ever seen

The drummer was a showcaseman in himself as he sang a good bit of the set

Everyone else was spot on.

Sad they didn't last.

I like Glen Phillips' work but the other band members have had reasonable success with their projects too.

A lot of you guys are failing at this thread. How about some bands that aren't cool to like on the Harmony Central forums?

Some of the stuff I listen to that 99.9% of you all probably hate.

Fall Out Boy
Cute Is What We Aim For
The Academy Is...
Newfound Glory
Green Day
The All American Rejects
All Time Low
My Chemical Romance
Nickelback
Creed
Weezer
Three Days Grace
Seether
Randy Travis

Countless others. No This isn't all I listen to, but I have a very wide taste in music.

I like a lot of the early 60's late 50's Doo-Whop. Great Harmony

In the Still of the Night

Why Doi Fools Fall in Love.

Earth Angel.

When I was kid I played for Freddie Paris [wrote In the Still of the Night] It was the early 70's then and he had a band togther called The Marble Collection. Entire horn section, did all covers of early Chicago when Terry Kath played with them and Blood Sweet and Tears early years with Al Cooper.

Freddie wrote In the Still of the Night on leave from the service. He came home and went to meet his Girlfriend at Seven Rock Amusment Park.

She never showed up, and In the Still of the Night was written that night?

A lot of "old school" here
:cool:
:


Roy Orbison

The Beach Boys

The Mamas and The Papas

The Lovin' Spoonful

(the three above didn't do anything good specifically with playing guitar, but they all had nice, harmonic vocals and songwriting)

The Monkees

Grand Funk Railroad

(never have seen any respect or mention of Mark Farner in HC
:mad:
)

The Bee Gees

The Pretenders

Earth, Wind, and Fire

Pat Benetar


Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen

Asleep At The Wheel

(love that music with the pedal steel guitars)



I don't care if they didn't play their own instruments (true early, false later), I don't care if they didn't write their own music (only partly true), an' I don't care if their target audience was teenage girls (I'm neither), I totally dig the Monkee's! I dig their music, sound, TV show, an' (created) style!

There, I said it! Am I banned now?:confused:
