Films About Ghosts (The Best Of Counting Crows) by Counting Crows

About

Counting Crows’ rootsy rock tunes, blending earthy ‘60s and ‘70s sounds with Generation X angst, made them one of the most enduring acts of the ‘90s. Their defining songs—including the heartbreaking “Round Here,” rollicking “Hanginaround,” and shuffling “A Long December”—highlight Adam Duritz’s thoughtful songwriting with their captivating melodies and dynamic musicianship. “Mr. Jones,” a tambourine-riddled folk-rock tune about two musicians dreaming of brighter futures, remains a timeless slice of catchy alt-rock thanks to its deep, head-nodding groove and irresistible sha-la-las.
