    This thread needs a Mercury Rev injection. I'm probably the only person in the world who likes Boces, though.

    COUNTING CROWS?!?!? are you serious? that band (along with the likes of Matchbox 20 and Third eye blind) represent everything that sucked about 90's "rock." as much as I'd like to jump on the bandwagon and diss pjoasisrules for his man love of the Gallagher brothers, it's hard to do that when you argue with him but then say that we're all idiots because we don't like counting crows. HAHAHA. COUNTING CROWS! my god in heaven.
    another music retard, a clue is out there!

    get one

    do you have any idea the respect the music community has for the amazing musicians in that band? also they're live shows are amazing.

    you obviously have never heard live at Heineken hall. so go ahead continue your uneducated posts and lump them in with third eye blind.

    I'm not a big fan of the band, but i agree i would not lump them with matchbox 20, third eye blind, fuel etc

    August and everything after is an album i actually really enjoyed. I heard other albums and they were okay. Counting crows don't even sniff my top 30 of the 90's though i'm pretty confident of that. They were not bad but just not top notch to me :)

    What was popular then is good, most of what is popular now is terrible. You wont run into me at a show because we dont have the same taste in music.

    i dont listen to bands just because they're "popular" or "trendy" i listen to bands because i like their sound... there are bands in the same genre's of bands that i like, that i dont like or can't stand listening to...
    for instance..i really love In Flames, but have a hard time liking Goijira

    uhm... and yeah.. we ARE on a PJ message board, so we do share the same fav band. and i DO travel the country to go to shows....

    there are alot of bands that were popular then that weren't good, looking back now.. they're called one-hit wonders
    Oasis
    Gin Blossoms
    Collective Soul
    Vertical Horizon

    just because they had one song played on the radio, never makes them good

    I dont listen to music because it is popular either, it just happens to be that the popular music then was really good. By the way, three of those bands you mentioned all have multiple hits and I have never even heard of Vertical Horizon

    no I've never heard Heineken Hall. but i have seen them live (with the band Live) and they sucked dick. it was all lame whiny pop/rock bullshit.

    anyway I can't waste any more time talking about a lame band like Counting Crows. I just mentioned how much I think they suck because I didn't care much for this comment by you:

    the fact that counting crows isnt on any list points out that all of the posters in this thread are complete idiots.

    maybe the fact that no one put Counting Crows on their list if because they suck. if you like them, that's fine. put them on your list. but don't call everyone "complete idiots" because we don't like them.

    first of all don't use radio airplay to talk about how good or bad a band is. there are a lot of great bands who aren't played on mainstream radio at all, and one of the great bands of the 90's, blind melon, is considered a one-hit wonder, because yes they only had one hit. doesn't matter though....anyway putting oasis on your list of one-hit wonders just further proves your ignorance. you, along with a lot of other people on this board may not like oasis, and i'm not gonna get into that but they are far from a one-hit wonder.....lets see here........

    hindu times
    lyla
    alright well i proved my point. all of these may not have been hits in the states but they were all huge in england, and i'm sure some other countries. i can however recall hearing 8 of those songs more than a few times on the radio here in the us of a. and while i'll admit a lot of oasis fans think a little too highly of their band, they don't deserve to be lumped into the same category as vertical horizon and the gin blossoms (who i enjoy occassionally but were nothing more than a descent bar band)
