Good song, that.
Do you mean catchy? Great example of "one hit wonders".

Who did that fucking horrendous version of big yellow taxi in he 90s?
Quite a feat to take that shite song down a few pegs more.
I’m not hitting that play button. The still shot alone makes my ears bleed

Someone should do a reality show and dump Counting Crows and Smash Mouth on an island and make them fight to the death.
I’m picking on those two cos they each had more than one shithouse song
-
how did we end up getting Counting Crows and fucking Smash Mouth compared to each other?
-
@mariner4life LOL.
How the fuck have the Black Crowes not been in here yet? So fucking cheesy.
From the album Shake your moneymaker. You could die from that level of cringe.
-
because, the Black Crows are fucking awesome. Remedy is fucking rad, so is Hard to Handle

@mariner4life Worse than the Spin Doctors.

I might be Booboo-ing here but can't be bothered reading the whole thread. Has this been mentioned?
Fan of the band but yes this is utter shart. I've never understood how people can be so invested in a band (or film franchise - Star Wars cough cough) that they'll pretend to like something that is absolute shit. I remember a mate of my brother was Irish and loved U2. Was in the car with him when a new song was released (one of those crap techno style ones). You could see the enormous internal struggle he was having. It was obvious he was shocked at how shit it was but he had to like it because it was U2.

I quite enjoyed Achtung Baby the album once I got over the shock that it was a complete departure from their previous stuff. Zooropa was weird at the time, but years later I picked the CD up in the bargain bin and I really enjoy many of the songs now. That disco album was forgettable

@mn5 Cochrane is an all time legend....
.... in Canada
Wiki tells me he was part of The Red Riders (also legends ... in Canada) before going solo
He has won a plethora of Awards .... in Canada including Rock Hall of Fame Order of Canada and Grand Moose (OK I made that last one up - but you get it - he's one of the all timer greats .... in Canada)
He continued to chart (in Canada) throughout the 90's but since then appears to have been living the good life doing occasional charity gigs, accepting Awards, having a Highway renamed after him (the Tom Cochrane Life is a Highway Highway)
TBF being acknowledged as a music legend by Canadian's puts you in some pretty exalted company alongside (actually the Canadian Music Hall of Page inductees web page is broken but I'm guessing)
Sarah McLaughlin
BTO
Alanis Morrisette
k.d. laing
Shania Twain
Bryan Adams
Gil Evans
Anne Murray
Leonard Cohen
The Band
Guess Who
Neil Young
Joni Mitchell
Oscar PetersonThat's it I can't think of any musically gifted Canucks - no wonder they had to induct
whatshisnameTom CochraneI’m going to pretend I know and respect Gil Evans on the assumption he/she/they is pretty good. But I will point out that in your #ahem# Rush to include Sarah McLaughlin you forgot their preeminent rock trio.
-
@jc I was just grabbing names from the memory banks and they escaped me.
TBH I never got in to them. First few years I found them overly derivative and preferred listening to the guys that they were ripping off. Then when they really started to gather momentum I was into punk and reggae and had left the prog rock dinosaurs behind. I will now listen to prog rock but know nothing about Canada's pre-eminent rock trio.
Ignore all the above if you were being sarcastic.
