Coming Fall 2012.

New single is out, called Runaways. Sounds a lot like everything else they've done. So, it's good, not great.

This band had two pretty good songs. One more and they could think about rivaling the Gin Blossoms.

They were on the front lines of the Hipster movement so I will give them that....as far as the music....I could take it or leave it.

I have some of their stuff. A lot of it sounds very similar but don't mind them. Not sure I will buy
this one, would have to hear more.

Dan, you can do better...c'mon.


Meh. People like who they like.

I've got 2 of their CD's on my ITunes, will probably get this one. If I had to list my top 25 favorite groups, they wouldn't make the cut but they have some good songs for sure.

There are a lot of bands not to like more than these guys. I have the first 2 albums on my iPod
and when they come on I don't skip over them.

No, sorry. I'll take "Hey Jealousy," "Follow You Down," and "Forgot About You" over "When You Were Young," "Mr. Brightside," and see this is the problem they don't have a third good song, and no not that I have soul but I'm not a soldier one, that was the fuckin' worst.

Everyone knows the songs that get radio play are the best ones on the album... :roll:

Yeah well I saw GB at the Taste of Chicago in 95. The Car brokedown on the way home and we were approached by a hippie asking us to hold his backpack for a "little while"

So...



I remember running through the wet grass
And falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting

What? Those are the best Killers songs. They're not exactly an album band.

The Killers
The Strokes
The White Stripes
The Hives

The Vines.... I knew I forgot one from that era.


Rolling Stone told me that "Get Free" was the new "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

The Walkmen
The Flaming Lips
The Vines
The New Pornographers
The Zutons
The Format
The Mars Volta
The Hush Sound
The Mother Hips

All pretty good.

The Flaming Lips have been around for nearly 30 years. Not exactly part of the "The" movement.

I've always thought of the Black Crowes as the kings of this genre. Twice as Hard is a good tune, Remedy is decent, Jealous is ok if you're in the right mood, Hard to Handle is utter crap, and the remainder of their catalog goes downhill from there.

You're way off.

Their first album is probably their worst. (Except Lions, which was horrendous).

Agree with DB, you're way off.

Black Crowes have never, ever produced a song that is worthy of praise in even the slightest way.

No way. Lions is not my favorite, but:
Midnight from the Inside out, Lickin', Soul Singing & Lay It all On Me are all fucking gems.
Love Black Crowes!
