Something tells me you don't know what a "song" is

I know what you mean Meg. U2 has a unique sound, and they def. write catchy pop songs. Maybe that's why they are millionaire rock stars and The Crowes can't give away tix or albums...

what's your standard for "good"? I don't hate The Crowes... BUT!!! They are like The Stones or The Allmans to name a few, retarded and annoying little copy cat brothers who don't have a fucking clue they are retarded and annoying little copy cat brothers.

I bet if you looked at a recent Crowes and a recent U2 setlist side by side, you would recognize more songs on the Crowes setlist.

Ok I'll be a guinea pig. U2 hasn't played an entire concert since 12/06 and the Crowes one is from Philly last week.  I will only highlight the ones I recognize from the title..and let me tell ya I would not be a good  partner in a game of name that tune

U2 Setlist

   2. Vertigo / Theme From Hawaii 5-0 (snippet) / She Loves You (snippet)
   3. Elevation

Exactly what I was thinking. I know the Crowes personally. Or I should say that I knew the Crowes way back when. Their former bass player,Johnny Colt, was my next door neighbor for years. They are a great bar band, but the best bar that I ever saw in Atlanta was The Georgia Satellites. The only problem with the Satellites was that they got stuck behind the one song that would haunt them forever, Keep Your Hands To Youself. While that was a great tune it got so overplayed that the band couldn't get around it. However, as bar bands go The Satellites blew the Crows off the stage every time. It wasn't even close.


I don't personally dig U2 that much, but they are at a completly differnt level than the Black Crowes will ever achieve. They are rock and roll superstars the world over. The Crowes can never make that claim.

they're hardly alone there, unfortunately. [/quote]

G, I hardly disagree .

I prefer the Crowes.
Why? They are more "Stonesy".

While U2 certainly has it's fan base, I find "Saint Bono" nauseating and the music okay.

While I may recognize more of U2's hits, my crotch recognizes that raw, raunchy sound of Rich Robinson's guitar.

I've seen both Bands live and preferred the Crowes.
Again, more "Stonesy"

i respect u2 - they are artists, but bono has become way to vain in recent years

oh totally, but not anytime soon.. as some would say....they haven't paid their dues yet.
the black crows are a great band, and they put on a great show.  the problem with these fuckers is they keep changing band members, so noone can remember the names.
