Coming off a new record, they have been around for nearly 20 years and have generated solid albums and great concerts. Seeing them live is amazing. They are so tight and capable as musicians. People have a visceral love or hate feeling about them. Either they really like them, or HATE them. A lot of it falls on their lead singer Adam Duritz. People see him as a whiney rock star who complains too much. However, if you read about him and listen to his other songs, he's just writing about his life. He doesn't write for you or me. Just about his life. Check out some of the live stuff from pink pop on youtube from them. Esp Murder of one. Wow. amazing. Counting Crows are among the best bands in America now.
