No, but probably top 100 IMO. Talk about a band that really fell off.

I like that album but it wouldn't be anywhere near my top 10. I've never seen them in person, but the live video performances I've seen wouldn't really make me want to. Adam Duritz kinda gets all over the place with the singing.

One of my favorite albums when it came out. I listened to it a couple of years ago and it really doesn't hold up well over time. I found it very boring save for a song or two.

An album that came out around the same time that I didn't like at the time, but recently listened to and loved was Ben Folds Five's Whatever and Ever Amen.

I'd put Counting Crows as one of the more well-rounded bands of our time period. I think the material will age well.

I went to a show for CC on Sunday, it was pretty good. The tracks from the forthcoming album were especially impressive, with a alt country/folk feel. Interested to see if it sounds good in studio.

Yeah, they played in Nashville with Toad and The Wet Sprocket last week. I didn't attend either, but I used to wear out August and Everything After on cassette.
