      Well the COunting Crows went downhill fast but August and Everything after is a great album. Probably one of the best debut albums of all time .

        well, i seem to be in a minority as a lot of people seem to like it and it made pitchfork's best albums of last year.

          Actually - I like alot of the Counting Crows music that is not on August & Everything after. Recovering the Satellites is my favorite album of theirs (their 2nd I believe). Tremendous album. Some of the other stuff is eh though.

              What are you talking about? Kamrom from Young Black Teenagers (YBT if you're nasty) was totally rad.

              Anyway, I am listening to the Crane Wife now... I don't hear any resemblance to the Crows. I do hear them ripping off a Rush riff though.

                Ok.. this album is really good. There's one clunker on the whole thing but overall it's sweet.

                PM me

                    At little late to the boat, but The Decemberists were at the Philly Folk Fest this year and rocked the joint. They might have to rename it the Philly Indie Rock Fest though. Along with the Decemberists, Iron & Wine was also on the bill.

                      The Crane Wife or The Hazards of Love?

                        I think when this thread was started, we were talking Crane Wife.

                          Right - but as I was checking Itunes I saw that The Hazards of Love was released in 09 - I wanted to see if anyone could recommend one or the other

                            oh, Crane Wife is much better than Hazards of love.
