They are better than the Gin Blossoms. They are also Better than Ezra

Coming Fall 2012. New single is out, called Runaways. Sounds a lot like everything else they've done. So, it's good, not great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LOeImx0kW4 |

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. |

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. |

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 |

I liked the "THE" Invasion of the late 90's/early 00's 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" |

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. |

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. |

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! |
