Members kulardenu Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm a fan of Counting Crows and on their Facebook Page Adam Duritz has been giving free downloads of covers he's doing before Valentines Day. What I like about these is they are just home recordings on piano and as we all know home recordings can be pretty raw. I like the fearlessness he shows in daring to sound stupid... Just like me!

Members victorcrane Posted February 11, 2011 Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 One of my favourite bands of all time. Cheers for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kulardenu Posted February 11, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 11, 2011 I did not like them very much until I caught them live in Chicago and was blown away... That band was tight and the lyrics are poetry. I left a fan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lank81 Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 Definitely a fan of Duritz and the Crows but unfortunately I'll never hear'em if you have to be a facebook member.

Members Alecto Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 I actually scored August and Everything After before the big rush hit so I didn't get on (and off) the bandwagon; I read a magazine article about them and decided to check it out. Great CD; I think I still have it somewhere. I especially respected the fact that they didn't play "Mr. Jones" first when they appeared on Saturday Night Live. Lorne Michaels told them they had to play their big hit first, and they refused, saying they wanted to start with "Round Here." That took serious guts, especially for an up-and-coming band.

Members billybilly Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 Sounds like I am a minority here. I can't stand the Counting Crows. They sound like a bunch of contemporary whiners to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members walrus1 Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 Sounds like I am a minority here. I can't stand the Counting Crows. They sound like a bunch of contemporary whiners to me. Ironically, that sounded very much like whining. :poke: Whining about whining - we're really getting meta now. I liked AAEA, great cohesive album, very Americana. Thanks for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
