Counting Crows: Even worse than Dave Matthews Band?

The use of "Mr. Jones" as his penis could be a veiled refernce to John Berryman, who was always talking to "Mr. Bones."

Don't ask me who "Henry" is.

And as for why they're such a frustrating band, I think it's this: they made one very good album, one half good album, and then a whole lot of crap ones. It all started when they fired the short guy... he play maracas or something, I don't remember. But every album after they got rid of him was utter crap. Who knew the short guy was the key to everything good about the band?

You cannot compare Counting Crows and their horrid sub-grungisms to dave matthews band.

I know - Crows are leagues better!

Personally, I think the Counting Crows have only improved, what with Mr. Dreadlocks phasing out the worst bits of singing, and very little in the way of terrible singles like "Round Here," which a lot of the first album sounded like.

Gotta agree with the DMB googlers. I hate the Counting Crows (they get a "the" whether they want it or not, calling your band something like "Counting Crows" is an aggressive and unwelcome act of high-school art classism) more than pretty much any band ever.

Lite 104.1 vs. some guy who thinks he can improve on Van Morrison's schtick = gimme dat Quiet Storm, thanks

Counting Crows have one very good song called "Perfect Blue Buildings". Don't really care for much else.

Dave Matthews sounds like Kermit the Frog.

blaspheming Kermit offends me alot more than blaspheming Van Morrison
