    Counting Crows are one of my favourite bands.. I'm a massive fan of every album they've put out, bar none.

    I hear a lot of shit spoken about them and most of it is down to the fact that they've occasionally written 'pop' songs (and we PJ fans are oh-so-sophisticated.. pop is so beneath us, or should I say 'pap', meh he he heh).

    The rest of the criticism is based on Adam Duritz himself, and totally avoids the fact they make music. 'He's got fake dreds so he's a douche.' Clever that.

    Make your own opinions. Don't follow the hype people.

    Sorry, got a bit militant for a second there. ;) On topic, Counting Crows opening for PJ would further weaken my control of my bodily functions.

    i agree, duritz write amazing lyrics and i for one think they are very good live. Looking forward to seeing them again in december

    I don't know if it would be good for them to open, but the Crows are pretty good. I've enjoyed the four shows I've gone to. This past summer was the only one I was disappointed in, and it was because they only played for about an hour or so. Some other band took the stage after that, and I kinda tuned out. I think it was Maroon Five or something. There were quite a few hot chicks there, though. Too bad I was with my wife, I guess.

    I used to really like Counting Crows, got the chance to see them live (twice) this summer and they were easily the worst band I have ever seen live. I was fairly disappointed.
    Hey hey it's okay...

    didn't Ed talk some shit on the Counting Crows back in the day? pretty sure he did somewhere.... doubt it would ever happen, but then again Ed has mellowed out in his older years.

    I love counting crows, seeing them open for PJ would be a big old dream for me, and I remember reading one time that Adam Duritz is a PJ fan.
    she holds the hand that holds her down, she will rise above!

    He is also a jerk.

    Explain why he's a jerk. I saw them in August and they were amazing, though some people there didn't "get" it. I overheard someone saying Duritz was drunk so he messed up Round Here, when it was really that they were doing an extended version of it.

    Also, in Rolling Stone in like 1993 they had a feature on CC and I believe there was a complimentary quote in there from Ed.
