No, she's saying she can't recall the melody. Big difference.

Thanks, Nasty for covering my back!

Platter..I ain't from NJ and I'm as far from being preppy as the alligator logo on your shirt..

And I like the Crowes music, but it is just not memorable to me. I don't continue to hum/sing one of their tunes the rest of the day after I hear it.

Do you only listen to one type of music?

Only 2.

Good Stones sounding rock & roll, and those fuckin Blues.

As long as it sounds like the Stones, then just play the fucking track.

To me there is nothing better than the Stones sound and most of the time, I can't get enough.

U2 makes me a little dizzy and bored.

I can feel U2's bassist though, but just can't feel the 3 others.

They just have no feeling, which is not so appealing...

Forgot to mention that the Crowes are full of Soul.

Ah, just chillin with the weasel...

They just plain suck - Bono can't sing and the Edge can't play.

They're pretentious, if you want to give me a message, just say it. Otherwise, let's let music be music and not some crappy politcal statement of the month. If I want politics I'll watch Fox, when I want music I buy an album. Music first, message second.

The rhythm section can't hold a candle to The Black Crowes or any other halfway decent rock band. How they got to be so damn popular is beyond me.

Oh, maybe universal messages of love, peace, and freedom helped U2's overrated cause.

The common U2 listener is but a frail consumer my little buddy...

But I know Gazza has better taste though, just giving him shit, but they do suck though...

I saw the Crowes in Philly last week and lemme tell you something...

There is nothing sweeter than a band jamming on vintage Gibson 335's playing music about sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

"If you feel like a riot, don't you deny it!"

U2 may have the hit records, the amazing fan base, and the piles of money, but the Crowes got that cool ass vibe and attitude. They closed out with a Little Richard cover that I swore would burn the venue to the fucking ground.

Maybe they do, maybe they dont - but whats the point of 'comparing' two bands who arent remotely musically alike? What next - the Stones vs Celine Dion? Bob Marley vs Tom Jones?

As for this bizarre unease that some fans (mostly American Stones fans for some reason) have about any act daring to have a 'message' or opinion on anything under the sun - fuck me, what year is this? 1955?

i really cant compare two bands from two different era's and continents. i would just say that U2 hands down has more talent, originality and energy. the crowes are a great bar band. that's it.

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.

Holy Shit!!!! That's where I lived! Laurel Valley and then it became Almond Tree. Chuck lived in the building right next to mine. He used to ask me to throw the football with him or some such shit. Yes, this was around 1980-81. Later when he got older he'd swing by and ask for weed. I used to laugh and tell him that he was too young to be smoking the evil weed. Damn what a small world!
