Has anyone else heard of Five For Fighting? I came across them randomly on a downloading session one day and think they're amazing. Everyone I've made listen to them agree with me but I've never found anyone else who has actually heard of them before.

Actually, seeing as it's a one-guy band, I guess I should be saying him instead of them! Anyway, I'd be interested to see what people think of them. If you wanted try some stuff, I recommend "2 Frogs" and "Superman" as good ones to start with, but basically anything from America Town or Message From Albert kicks ass!!!

Yeah! They are kinda similar, but still very different. I put the Crows and M20 on there to get people's attention, if I just put FFF on the subject then people might skip over it who might otherwise like them!

Im a big CC fan and have been a fan of the other two for a while now.

Best five for fighting song is Easy Tonight.

Might it be worthwhile using this thread to recommend other bands that fans of these bands might like to check out?

That Counting Crows song from the beginning of Shrek 2, "Accidentally in Love", isn't that bad. I quite liked it.

Course, it's no Omaha.

Supported CCs on the last tour, which we both saw, I presume. The album "Songs for the Radio" is superb relaxing music. Haven't heard the new album yet.

Maroon 5? You girl :) Go listen to Busted and McFly.
