What I don't understand is why he doesn't love him some real Americana, instead of the watered down version that the two Crow bands play.
i dont like the Counting Crows anymore, their first two albums were good, their 3rd was ok. thier last couple or whatever, arent cool.

as for the watered down part…..when someone doesnt REALLY love a genre…they tend to like the watered down bands of that genre.

like a very casual hip=hop fan might like Outkast, Jurassic 5, Black Eyed Peas….when in reality, these bands are definitely watered down compared to a lot of true hip-hop fans.

Electronic music fans would say the same of Crystal Method or Fatboy Slim

you get it….

and i dont listen to the Crowes anymore, but i was shaking my money maker back in 1990 or whatever and it just seems like a cool show…it was only $40 man….its not like i mortgaged my house for these tickets.

Black Crowes = Watered Down Americana
Keane = Watered Down Brit Pop
ohhhh, i forgot. Markie only likes bands that sound completely original and have NO recognizable musical influences. gotcha. :)
I fully admit to enjoying the watered-down versions of genres I'm not a big fan of – Outkast and Fat Boy Slim are good examples. And Madonna's my pop fix.

But for me, I wouldn't go to a Black Crowes show if I got free tickets… Counting Crows, show is free – probably.

even with that logic

at least Americana > Brit Pop
so Black Crowes > Keane

I'd go if the Crowes were free and having a local show. Crows - no way. They suck live.
I saw the Crowes back in '90. They said "hello" to the crowd, naming the wrong city. "Huh? OH. Where are we? Oops…" straight into the next song. Ah, nothing like the Crowes in a southern college gymnasium.
Take earplugs. When I saw the Crowes they were LOUD.

Well he's not Rob Gee, I'm sure he's not too upset with that. I absolutely do not like the Black Crowes, there's something about his voice that makes my skin crawl.

However Sonick, I will also be at the Crue concert. We must meet somewhere on 7th street for a few drinks before the show. :D

Not nearly as much as your ability to read and comprehend.

With all of the Canadian bands that I've been listening to lately, I think that Sonick and I got switched at birth. In fact, I'm listening to one now (Readymade).

werent you born like 10 years before me though?

Readymade is good. thier old band Pipedream is pretty good too, if you can get an import of one of thier discs, they are kind of hard to find.
You must read Spin Magazine. They say Canada is the new cool. At least that's what the copy at my gym said.
